Some Customer Feedback for SiOL

siol.jpg
SiOL has at least one very, very unhappy customer.

I usually try to avoid Slovene-only things here, but in this case I absolutely have to make an exception. This audio clip This (fixed) clip (2.59 MB) is a 3-minute long, obscenity-filled diatribe against the Slovenian Internet-provider SiOL, presumably left as customer feedback via telephone. It’s almost like a study in refined, white-hot rage. If you need help deciphering some of the things he says, this page (NSFW) can help you. Otherwise just sit back, turn up the volume, and let the hate flow through you.

(Thanks Podgana!)

UPDATE: Rox has kindly provided an English translation of the rant! Respect!

    That guy gets really worked up, he speaks very clearly, and I love
    especially the soft spoken ‘hvala’ at the end! it’s priceless!

    Buahahahahhaaa! Holy cow, that guy is totally off the hook. He might be even better than mr. Bergis!

    This reminds me of the time when I completely lost it and sent them a long an juicy email… Every monthly bill had an ADSL advertisment printed on it, telling me how great it was. Except… it wasn’t available in my area… and my dial-up bill was 2-3 times bigger than what I would be paying for a much faster and always-on ADSL connection. So at one point, a fuse in my head must have burnt out, and the rest is just a blur… ;-)

    That guy sounds so stressed, but I love how at the end he says: "That’s all , thanks" so calmly :D

    I better speed up my Slovene lessons so I can understand this, although I got the general gist of it. :)

    That was so f%&king brilliant that I had to f#$king add it to my own c#nting website as the f#%king background theme tune. As much as I f#$king hate taking something from some other f$%ing website I felt I had no f#$king choice this time. F#&k you.  To bo vse, hvala.

    Well… In my opinion, the talk is staged for the purpose of distribution over the net (which apparently works) and is not genuine feedback to Siol CS. If it indeed is: bravo, good preparation. Furthermore, the website with Sloveve curses has an incredible amount of mistakes.Can’t win ‘em all, all the time. Cheers :)

    is it just me who didn´t find this monologue amusing or what?

    Very funny, the guy seems to be well prepared & heavily loaded.
    I agree with Matej that this was probably made for distribution between
    geeks, maybe it was done after a conversation (or multiple ones) with
    the SiOL support.For me the most interesting aspect is the
    quality of the swearing. The juicy parts are mainly serbo-croatian,
    since Slovene is obviously way too softcore for that matter. Heaviest
    expressions in slo were ’smrdljiv’ & ‘usiv’ (stinky & lousy), way too low powered. So
    he has use ‘popisati se’ (to piss on…) and multiple
    intense ‘jebanje majke u pi…’ (fucking your mom into
    p…) which is the most universal yugo swearing in the world.You
    can see how high the level of Balcan influence in Slovene every day
    life is. Ofcourse it speaks also about the culture of the users. (I can
    imagine some nerds do really talk like this with the support.)

    "is it just me who didn´t find this monologue amusing or what?"Yes, I guess so. I think it’s hillarous. Tipically Slovenian outburst. I think I’ll use it my blog, too. Thanks Michael: I think SIOL won’t be very happy of the publicity you are making him.

    This voice sounds familiar. Is this that guy who harassed that kid over the phone about sirov burek? The guy with the fake yugo accent?

    SiOL actually started blocking the file from circulating over E-mail … all I got (and couple of other people!) from a SiOL mail user was an emprty .dat file!! They’re f**king nuts!

    hvala najlipsa for the translation! I got a lot of it, but not
    everything since I don’t speak or read Slovenian. The translation is
    great! but the voice is great!

    Doesn’t even matter if it’s staged or not. One thing’s for sure: the boy’s passionate about his views. :P
