This isn't you!
Oh man I just had to record this somewhere, and 140 characters on twitter isn't enough to encompass the utter FAIL I'm about to describe to you:
Operator: National Student Loan Service Center, may I have your Social Insurance number please?
Me: Alright, let me get the card...okay...531-XXX-XXX.
Her: And your date of birth?
Me: January 10th, 1985.
Her: Is this for your child?
Me: No this is for me.
Her: I'm sorry I can't give you that information, as you're not a child.
Me:...I'm 24 years old.
Her: I'm sorry you do not sound like a child...[I wonder why genius? Maybe because 24=/=child?!?! Just putting the idea out there...]
At that point I promptly hung up because I knew I'd get no where and would get into a screaming match. She also implied that I was impersonating a student! Okay...I'm impersonating the imaginary daughter that I didn't know I had, oooowie! I better got call my mother, father, sister and the whole family and inform them of the lie I've been living. No let's totally ignore the fact that some women have husky voices and may sound more mature, perhaps if I call them back in an hour after inhaling a tank of helium, then they'll believe me! Wow I almost have a mind to record myself talking just so you can all hear my horrible impression of myself ;___;!
But wow, this is the government of Canada at it's finest. I just wanted to inquire about the interest relief form I was qualified to receive! But I guess if I can't get past jokers like that, I might as well not bother even trying to pay back the loan or something :/. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to head over to the campus lab and borrow one of their helium tanks....
