We'd get the usual same 7 or 8 types of caller and it's not exclusive to Tmobile - I'll bet VM has its own list of callers that most of its customers adhere to. It's not a negative thing, it's something focus groups put together to improve service and iad training where possible. In fact just about any reputable callcentre would have such a 'list'. But in your case I was talking about the type who will accuse the agent of lying just because you can't have what you want.

But how would you know if they were in a meeting or not? How could you deduce from that that the agent is lying? On what basis would you accuse them of being liar? Simply because you can't have what you want? If it turned out the agent was lying then they deserve instant dismissal. But YOU have no way of knowing at that point and no right to call them a liar.
