Indian call centres.

Or more specifically their use of English.

When you call up and they say “Can you help me with your account number” or “Can you help me with your name please”

When they ask the latter I always respond with “Certainly, what help do you need?” or “OK, it’s 2 names, one begins with R, the other begins with B”.

Seriously, who the hell is supposedly teaching them British English??

And they really hate it when you correct their English. Countless times I’ve told them it doesn’t make sense to ask that and they say they understand but ask the “can you help me with…” question later in the call.
