A little story which happened my SECOND day on the floor after getting hired to do customer-facing phone support for my current job (can't mention the name, NDA). Customer from Detroit calls in:
Me: "Thank you for calling (company), my name is Guru, how can I assist you?"
C: "Uhhh, yeah. I need to get back into my ID. I can't backup my tablet or phone, and y'all are kinda holding my data host-" <Loud gunshots>
C: "oh! Shit!" <sound of running feet>
Me: "Everything OK sir?"
C: "Fuck! Naw! Hang on!" <more running, jumps a fence, skids to a stop>
C: "Ok, I'm safe, I'm safe... So what I gotta do to get y'all to let me back into my shit?"
*MUTE* Me: "First of all, what the fuck are you doing on the phone with me when you should be either A) calling the cops because, I dunno, just maybe some trouser stain is attempting to kill you, or, B) FIRING BACK, MOTHERFUCKER!!"
*REAL* Me: "OK, first you gotta… (outlines step 1,2,3... etc)
C: "OK, that sounds easy enough. I'll try it when I get to the office, I'm on my way there now- shit. Hold on again..."
(talking to someone on the street): "what, him? That dude? Over there? That dude... In the shirt?What the fuck!? Are you sure? Hold on, sir! I'ma call you back..."
Last thing I hear before the line lets go is a large BOOM!

Sometimes it's best to just sit back and sip your coffee...

    NDA's only apply to private information.

    That said, you don't have to make excuses for not sharing your current client or identity. That's why this site exists.

    @SortOfTested gotcha. First time under NDA, figured I’d be better safe than sorry.

    This sounds too dramatic and cool to be true. I hope it is true, but I also don't want it to be true because of the obvious. Shit.

    @-ANGRY-STUDENT- oh yeah, it’s true. I couldn’t make this shit up if someone paid me to. LOL. Some of the people I get on the phone are completely nuts, I could write a book. Law suits don’t appeal to me though.

    Just write that book and get rich. Then you can buy the best lawyers and will be fine regardless of whether anyone dares to sue you or not.
