Good to dream to be rude... :D

I'm also more polite in this world, but sometimes not, for example:

<urgent> telephone call: 'reset password', 'fix S0C4', 'Cannot LKED' ...etc.

Me: Ok, I will do so, but give call centre ref number, blah, blah, rules,
regulations, "kindergarden" type speach, etc...

next call from same user: 'reset password', 'fix S0C4' ...etc.

Me: What is the ref number? (and let them sometimes wait for my solution,
I've better things to do, like enjoying coffee>

They usually get the message... :D

Groete / Greetings
