that WTF moment!!

ya i know till now almost all of us hv gn through a moment like this atleast once in our life where we hv turned around and said "what the f**k?"
in recent times i hv been thorugh this twice!!!! yup twice!!
i had called up my mobile service provider to ask if they provided international roaming facilites to JAPAN....conversation went on like dis
operator: hi, this is richa. how may i assist u?
me: are u providing international roaming to japan?
ope: gv me a minute please.
then hold music is going on......suddenly she picks the call again
ope: where is dis japan state located??
me: (dumbfound) japan... state.... aaah no its a country
ope: hold on
again music... this time she is back after a minute
ope: where is this japan country located? means in africa, europe, near australia????
me:(too shocked to even answer) u dont know where japan is located??? (almost going to say WTF?)
ope: i know its location....(am shocked).......but where exactly does it come on world map??

by this time i hv lost all patience and really dont know wot to say!!! so i just banged the phone down!!!

my next WTF moment came after abt 2 days from this incident. i had booked a ticket with a travel agent and had to cancel it.
ope: hello xyz travels.... how may i help u?
me: can i talk to mr. rahul?
ope: he is not on his seat.....how can i help u?
me: hmmm well actually i hd booked a return ticket to tokyo on singapore airlines... i wanted to
cancel that ticket.
ope: ok madam it will be done.... but can u tell me if it is a rail ticket, bus ticket or air ticket??
(@ dis particular moment i feel WTF)
me: (patiently answering) madam if i hv to go tokyo i will hv to go by air!!! if u know any bus service from india to tokyo pls lemme know!

i was wondering if people really can be stupid or they r too preoccupied to actually listen properly to wot we ask or speak???

well i shdnt blame others... i too hv had this WTF moment........dat is someone must hv said this to me.....
one toh i clearly rmbr......hd been to wedding(sameer's friends marriage) we went up to congratulate the couple..... i knew the guy.... i went to talk to his wife who was the bride.....all shining on her special day!!! and this was my foot in mouth or WTF moment.....
me: oh u r looking so lovely and pretty!
bride: (blushing) thanx!!!
me: b.t.w wots ur name???
huh! WTF! b4 i knew it, i had brght upon me a great disaster!!!! my hubby and his friend were to shocked to say anything!!!!!
till date i regret that moment... sameer lost a good friend!! come to think of it... i had gn for the wedding and dint even know the brides name?????
hey but u know the funny thing is even now i dont remember her name!!! hehehe!
