"Foreign Morons?"

Not knowing exactly what you experienced, I feel compelled to mention that someone without a good command of english is not neccesarily a moron. The english language doesn't make much sense compared to other languages. And it's probably not their fault if they haven't been trained properly.

I don't mean to rant at you, but the term "foreign morons" kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I do share your frustration with the whole "your call is important to us" schtick. Of course if it were important to them, they'd be taking my damn call instead of supplying a recorded message about how much they respect me and value my business.

The WORST part of it is the voice saying "Your call is important to us." After hearing that about 3 times I am ready to reach through the phone and trottle someone...

Of course, the anger does help in dealing with the idiiots on the other end of the line.
