Most of us will do anything we can to avoid contacting a customer support agent. You might click through every single page on a website ten times, searching for a solution before finally sighing, accepting defeat, and sending a message to that annoying bubble in the corner of the screen. "How can I help?" the cheery AI agent might ask with a smile.
But we all know that whether or not that bot or an actual human will be able to assist is 50/50. If you're tired of dealing with infuriating customer support agents, you're not alone. Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the most hilarious and frustrating encounters people have had with these workers below. Enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the ones that you find painfully relatable!

Product knowledge is also very important for customer support agents to actually be helpful for callers. The fastest way to make a customer angry is by not knowing the answers to their questions. Meanwhile, it’s important to be flexible and adaptable. Time management is also a crucial skill, as well as being able to resolve conflicts. Attention to detail and a positive attitude can go a long way during these calls with customers too.
#22 Bodum Responded To My Cs Inquiry Nearly 16 Months Later 😑
Bought some cups over a year ago, one had a defect. reached out to CS in Dec 2024 and I just got a response in April 2026. I mean - I know there can be a bit of a delayed response but I think this takes the cake!

#27 From Best To Worst Customer Service
Beware of Amazon's dishonest customer service team. They promised me a refund and even sent me email confirmation stating "They have issued the refund". 1 month later, I call and they come up with some foolishness about how they have changed business practices and cannot honor the refund.
Bro, THIS IS OVER $16.23 and you even sent me an email saying it was sent 😂
The manager even gaslit me and said the item arrived on the date it was supposed to arrive. Yup, saying its going to come a few days then gets delayed a month is the "expected delivery date" IF THAT WAS THE CASE, WHY WAS I PROMISED A REFUND AND GIVEN EMAIL CONFIRMATION TO BEGIN WITH?
Sometimes people will try to make you feel insane even though you have full documentation and try to make you question reality.
If you've had this same experience from the phone customer service reps and managers, don't fall for it. Their customer service has become booty cheeks.
I'm thinking this company will eventually fall if it doesn't stop this nonsense.
It seems like the days of honest business practices and honoring what you said or doing business in good faith is gone from Amazon.
We had to contact our bank for a chargeback.
RIP

#29 Wow, Just Wow: Amazon Customer Service
Short version: I simply asked why 100% of my same-day deliveries were delayed. This was my 5th representative and 3rd supervisor. One stated that the truck broke down (it was never out for delivery). I was being "jerked around" the whole time apparently.
