The divorce is moving along smooth(ish)ly. Lots of financial issues to sort out. For example, yesterday I canceled all our joint-owned store credit credit cards. For the most part, when the person on the other end of the line would ask why, I'd simply say, "it's personal" and they'd respect that.
But not the guy from the Gap. I had clearly reached a call center in India. As he read from his script, he seemed completely oblivious to the raising irritation in my voice as he put me on hold twice and tried three times to upgrade me to a "Gap Visa." I should have just hung up, but I, in turn, was trying to get him to send a cancellation confirmation letter. Finally, I lost it and yelled, "DUDE! STOP IT! I'M GETTING A DIVORCE, ALRIGHT? I DON'T WANT THE DAMN UPGRADE! JUST CANCEL MY CARD AND SEND ME MY LETTER!"
He "humbly apologized" and agreed to send in 6-10 business days.
As I hung up, I wondered if people in Bombay often get called "dude."
