Have a Bad Day Day 
Having been on both ends of customer service this day I resonate with.
Bad Customer Service isn't always the fault of the customer service rep. Sometimes it is instigated by the, wait for it, customer. *GASP* Newsflash: the customer is not always right.
Now, that being said if the customer is wrong it doesn't warrant poor behavior from the customer service rep.  To quote Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"
Both customer and customer service rep need to behave, to remember their manners, and to extend civilities.
Maybe You Get Bad Customer Service Because You're a Bad Customer
It is a huge pet peeve of mine when customers act like jerks and treat the person trying to help them like dirt because of some false entitlement that they are "always" right.

World Toilet Day

We have a moral imperative to end open defecation and a duty to ensure women and girls are not at risk of assault and rape simply because they lack a sanitation facility. (source)
#WeCantWait
No other invention has saved more lives than a toilet. And 2.5 billion people in the world do not have access to one.
Why World Toilet Day Should Matter To You
If you are thankful for your toilet then please make a donation today to an organization that builds and provides toilets for sanitation in countries that need them.
