READ THIS. This is a phone conversation I just had with an Air India employee (a mistake, to begin with). Mind you, I have polished her English a little bit:

"Hi, I need to book a ticket from Mumbai to Denver."
"Denver?"
"Yes. Denver, Colorado. In USA. I need one for July. Anywhere between 7th and 17th of July. Whichever is least expensive."
"Ok sir. [long pause] What date sir?"
"Any day between 7th and 17th of July."
"Is it one-way or return ticket?"
"One-way"
"Ok sir, let me look." [long hold] "Yes sir we have a flight to New York. From there to langarda (?! - that's supposed to be LaGuardia - she wants me to 'go' from NY to LaGuardia!). And from there to Denmark."
"I'm sorry, Denmark?!? You mean Denver, right?"
"Yes sir, Danvar. Sir I can only give you rough fare sir."
"What do you mean rough fare? Why rough fare? I need a specific fare."
"Sir because Air India is only till New York. After that you have to go in another flight."
"Which is the connecting airline?"
"American Airlines sir."
"Okay, I see. What's the fare?"
"Sir it's Rs. xx,xxx."
"Okay, what date is this for?"
"I put in May sir... Sir what date did you ask for?"
"What date did you search for??"
"Sir I put in May."
"Ma'am, I specifically told you July! 7th to 17th July."
"Yes sir, I put in July."
"Whaat? What are you saying?"
"Yes sir, I put in one-way for May and return in July. Sir this is rough fare sir."
"I told you I need one-way!! Madam, are you even listening to me??"
[BEEEEEEEEEP]

SHE HUNG UP! SHE HUNG UP ON ME! AFTER GIVING ME THAT CRAP! %#@^@#!#%!!!

Now that I think about it, it's good she hung up. Else I would've tracked her down and STRANGLED HER. Lame-ass shit.
