"Thank you for calling Destructoid, this is Kyle. How can I help you?"
KyleGamgee \| 5:46 PM on 07.10.2008	24 comments

It's finally happened. I felt it coming and today was the day.

I leave work last. I have about an hour to myself, and for the most part I am done with what work I did have for the day. So I come to Destructoid a lot of the time. I get so in the mindset that when the phone rings, bringing my attention back to work, I have had to think and remind myself what company is paying me for my time.

Today I answered too quickly.

"Thank you for calling Destruct-"

oops.

*fixed*

The customer seemed unphased, but I could barely keep from laughing at myself.

YOU'RE IN MY HEAD, PEOPLE!

Don't worry, everything will be OK. I'm from Destructoid.

You've gotta quit now before it takes over the rest of your body

OoooOoooo...I get all wobbly inside when Niero pays me any attention.

@MrSadistic: Okay, that sounded way too cool-comfortable-creepy. Well done, sir.

This is how it begins. Their mind control suddenly activates and the next thing you know you find yourself covered in blood wearing a sombrero and a fake mustache. MUSTACHE!!!

I don't see where the mistake is.

Yes! As soon as we have a phone service you're the first to get hired, sir!

I am willing to re-enact any cutscene of any game of Mr.Sterling's choosing to record the voicemail greeting on my cell.

Awesome!
I've typed in "Destructoid" a couple times when I was searching a particular book for a customer. There isn't a book about Dtoid in the library. Somethings gotta change...

Sometimes when I'm typing a word with "uct" in it, I automatically add "oid" to the end. It has resulted in me typing words like "constructoid," "introductoid," and "seductoid."

@dexter: When I'm at work looking up stuff for disassembly of computers, I'll sometimes type "instructoid"... so I feel you.

Similar to dexter and vn1977, whenever alot of time when typing in the woed 'destruct' or 'destruction', I type in Destructoid instead.
I swear it's only a few steps away from spray-painting Mr. Destructoid on the school handball courts.

Oh I bookmark Destructoid.com on every computer I use. I don't type it all that often.

At least I've stopped accidentally spelling it "Destructiod."

LOL..I've done that before :). I type it out to customers in emails too. Luckily I haven't sent one to them yet.

I answered a phone "Thank you for calling Best Buy, how can I help?" and I've never worked for Best Buy. EVER. And I haven't worked in customer service for 7 fucking years.

about me
I've got a backlog (games I have that I still need to beat). Everybody does. BioShock and Portal are some of my favorite games. I love the SNES. So many great games Pilotwings, SMW, F-Zero, UN Squadron, FFIV & VI, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, ActRaiser, Super Metroid, The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past... the list goes on. I love playing the Xbox 360. I enjoy the Wii just fine, but I LOVE the 360. Iplay Rock Band the most (probably) at parties, or in my Rock Band band Blargg with Dexter345.
