Confessions of a QLD bagger
I need to confess to my blogbuddies, some of whom are from the state of Queensland that I bag out queenslanders on a regular basis. Mainly due to the types of phone calls i get from QLD.
The average person I talk to is usually from NSW or Vic, they talk fast, talk snappy and expect everything to be done on that moment. PPl from Queensland.. aren’t quite the same. They are … different.
They call up to complain, and talk slow, they call up to ask questions about their services and talk slow.. infact, before I have taken down their username or mobile number, I am already asking some of them, how is queensland today.
It is fair to say, that most people in our call centre, well most call centre workers who deal with national calls will let fly a few jokes about queensland. Now I have nothing against them, think they are great.. but you really need to listen to some calls where you have an angry queenslander, that doesn’t shout.. “but.. talks… like… this… because, he.. is … really.. angry…”
I have been caught out bagging QLD’ers in front of natives.. and tonight when I was hanging out on IRC I had the following exchange..
[19:55] *squigly* LLLLLLOOOOOLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY
[19:55] *squigly* i have to yell really loud for you to hear me in WA
[19:55] -lolly- no you dont
[19:55] -lolly- you just look like a queenslander
[19:55] -lolly- 
[19:55] *squigly* i am a queenslander
[19:56] -lolly- oh
[19:56] -lolly- heh
[19:56] -lolly- …
So, I would like to apologise to those people from Queensland. For making fun of a wonderful warm.. lazy talking, huggable bunch of people..
