This is like pulling teeth this morning.

From the travel agent who didn't know basic geography, to a credit card agent who couldn't understand my question as to why a credit wasn't applied to available funds, to an air fare agent who couldn't grasp my travel requirements, to an Amazon agent who didn't get that US and Canadian dollars aren't equal, these have all been exercises in futility. Seriously, how stupid can these people be and why are they answering phones?

Care to share your own experiences?
