And since he called the association he won’t care that they blew him off.

It could be worse. They could have said they COULDN’T care less.

At least the honesty is refreshing.

Sorry, that’s not ‘apathy’ since they made a definitive statement about ‘not getting back, ever’. If they were truly apathetic the message would be ‘we may or may not get back to you. maybe.’

I may or may not really like this cartoon, maybe…

Pathetic comments?

I almost want a framed version of this and keep it at work. ;-)

Yet they cared enough to leave an answer message on their phone line. ( I was going to say Outgoing Message but they would not be outgoing)

Now I know the name of the corporation that manages many customer service centers.

No, really. I could care less; in fact, I care even less about your problem right now!

Like that old announcement about the next meeting of the American Psychics Association: “You know where and you know when.”

Actually, the correct statement of apathy would be “we couldn’t care less.” “Could care less” means that it is possible to care even less than what we do.

How is this different from say the cable company or the wireless company?

More like… they SHOULD have said, “…couldn’t care less…”

Reminds me of my Congress people. My representative sends a form letter bragging about his “job description” as US Representative. My senior senator says deal with his underlings. My junior senator never acknowledges my email at all. [4th Texas, Sam Rayburn’s old district.]

Or feel free to leave a message and we will delete it whenever we get around to it.

I’m starting to think COULD CARE LESS is as abysmally ignorant as IRREGARDLESS
