I will never vacation in India.  I would commit suicide before I was able to leave the country.  Seriously.  I find there accent and verbiage the most annoying on the planet.

I wonder how many people have stabbed them self with a fork or something, kicked there dog, smashed a chair, or whatever, after attempting to solve a problem with an Indian customer service representative out of shear frustration.

More than once I personally would have liked to reached over there, grabbed the guys head, and bounced it off his desk (being careful not to hurt the fella of course) several hundred times and say TENJOOBERRYMUDS!!!

Total funny, but true.  I have a friend who works in a five star hotel in Aspen.  He tells of a time walking down the hall and hears

Knock, knock, knock   " rooo  sers,  eyes!" 
The guest answers "what?"   
"rooo  sers, eeeyyyeees!"
Guest opens the door - What?  Sees a hotel employee holding a bucket of ice and says "oh, you have ice!"
Hotel employee - "yes,  I toal you,  rooo sers, eyes!"

Seriously.  I find there accent and verbiage the most annoying on the planet.

i really enjoy traveling, languages, and accents.  i don't have a real talent for picking up languages, but it's fun to learn.

 what i don't like is calling verizon customer service, being put on hold for 30 minutes, and then being forwarded to India for help.  it's not that they couldn't speak English, their English was fine.  it was that i want customer service from the company i am paying, not someone they subcontract with to answer the phone and flip through a bunch of computer generated solutions that i have already tried. 

when, at the end of the problem (a month later) i get a bill from another verizon company for almost 400 dollars because i have gone over my alloted cell phone time while sitting on hold and talking to India, i get right angry off.

India is fine and has nice people.  verizon sucks and has bad customer service.  my verizon customer service should not come from the nice folks in India!!

I set up a customer service center in India (Mumbai - err, Bombay) for a financial services firm, and our staff selection criteria required them to have mastered the enunciation and pronunciation of English in Singapore (Singlish) and Australia - which was hard for those who were pulled off of US accounts, and had been using call-center-names such as Mable, Tom, Irene, Bob, Mary, David, Martha, etc.

Many of the centers support multiple clients by the same staff – with the number called causing the system to call up the right set of dialogues as well as the right language – Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and of course English.  It was quite impressive – both the technology and the staff who were generally trilingual.

When I have used call centers as a customer – I amused myself by asking what the weather is like there in Minneapolis, Kansas City, New York, Sioux Falls, etc. – because they generally will not know, and it gives away the game.
