I found this one on the New York Times website, and on YouTube.

Hard to believe just how difficult it is to cancel an AOL account. I sort of feel sorry for this guy!!

The caller described it as being a horror story, only that this time it was actually exposed.. On the surface, the incident sounds crazy, but more than probable, might exist a perfectly good explanation for why the employee provided such bad customer service. I believe that in organisations these days, all employees are told to meet deadlines and target-figures, and in most cases I would say, this involving very extra-mileage type of work.. The employee may have very well had a bad day, and was approaching a critical amount of memberships that he had himself cancelled based on the request of the customer. The pressure is this tough, that employees are driven to these acts of desperation towards customers, otherwise be forced to explain stats to their manager. - Just a guess.
