Öde? Gefrustet? Kein Gesprächspartner zur Hand? Kein Problem!
Viele Websites bieten praktische "Support Lines", Echtzeit-Chats mit kompetenten Beratern am anderen Ende der Leitung.
Ich habe meine Mittagspause heute mit "Abby" von scratch2cash.com verbracht. Hier der Gesprächsverlauf:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Abby'
Abby: Welcome to Scratch2cash! How may I assist you?
you: hi
you: i was wondering if i have to install something to play
Abby: No, it's all flash
you: ah, cool
Abby: Yes :)
you: what flash version would i need?
Abby: The latest, why doesn't it work?
you: just wondering.
you: may i ask one more question?
Abby: I see, go ahead!
you: why does the girl on your homepage look so scared?
Abby: lol, she's just shocked at how much money she's won!
Abby: She can't belive her luck!
you: ah, that explains it.
you: how much has she won then?
Abby: $100,000
you: wow
you: is she married?
Abby: I have no idea :)
you: if she's looking for a boyfriend i might be available
Abby: If I ever meet her, I'll suggest you
you: it's just one phone call to quit with my current girlfriend
you: oh, would you?
Abby: Definetely
you: you must have her address because she won that money at your site, right?
Abby: She didn't really, she's a model, but she's acting as if she did
you: what????
you: why are you saying this??
Abby: It's true
Abby: I'm sorry to vurst your fantasy in this abrupt manner
Abby: burst
you: well, maybe it is better that way
Abby: It never would've worked anyway
you: we might have married and then suddenly I find out she's not rich at all
you: why not??
Abby: All this money with people who're not used to having it, it creates problems, plus eventually she'd catch on what you're after :)
you: hm. maybe you're right. I think you're good with people.
you: who won the 185,000 then last month?
Abby: That's the total
Abby: lol
Abby: 100,000 is the jackpot
you: oooooooooh! did they send you flowers at least, those lucky people?
Abby: No, not a word of thanks!
you: these people nowadays...
you: I would send you flowers and chocolate, too!
Abby: I know...savages!
Abby: I know you would, you're not like everybody else
you: don't say I'm special, I hear that all the time and then people start giggling
Abby: That's the same people, you must let them get to you.
Abby: mustn't
you: you're confusing me
Abby: I meant to write mustn't but then i forgot the n't :)
you: ah, ok
you: can I play Soduko on your site?
Abby: No, sorry, just scratchgames
Abby: But I know a sudoku site if you want
you: I see.
you: What is a scratchgame?
Abby: You know like scratchers that you can buy at the lottery stands?
Abby: Only more interactive
you: no, they don't let me out of here
Abby: I see...who's they?
Abby: And what's here?
you: they doctors
you: but I feel better now, don't worry
Abby: Why not?
you: what not?
Abby: Why don't they let you out?
you: I don't know, I have never asked them
Abby: Aren't you curious?
you: but it's nice, we have TV and a ping pong table, too!
Abby: Oh cool! are there other people or just you?
you: no, there is Freddy and Samantha
you: and some more, but I dont like the others
Abby: Are you going home soon?
you: but I am the only one allowed to use the computer in the library!!!!
Abby: Nice!
Abby: how come the rest aren't allowed?
you: I have no ping pong table at home, why should I want to go there???
Abby: That's true...say, can I go where you are too? I love ping pong!
you: I don't know that, maybe I am the only one with experience
you: with PCs, I mean
Abby: I don't have ping pong either
you: internet and stuff, I'm good with that!
Abby: Are you in portugal?

Abby: Yes, extremely safe! Are you portugese?
Abby: No, I'm in gibraltar
you: no, I am not

you: hm. why don't you take out one door and use it as we do?
Abby: Because, we don't have any spare doors

Hi, guess who this is...it's Abby the famous chat support girl :)
My boss found this post of yours and directed me to it.
Just out of curiosity...is it a good thing or a bad thing that you posted your chat with me in your blog? You're just lucky I don't speak german!
You're welcome to come discuss this delightful turn of events on chat with me, and hey more material for your blog right?
Chat to u later!
Abby
Abby!
What can I say - you caught me red-handed!
Don't worry, there is nothing bad in the posting, I just mention that using live-helplines can be quite entertaining and that I've spent today's lunchbreak with Abby.
I have to admit you were the first and until now the last person I have chatted with over such a helpline, though... I actually didn't even have in mind to do this, I just got carried away. :o)
However, if there is a prize awarded to the best helpline-manager it should definitely go to you!
