"prank"

Fuck this is stupid. Customer support have to treat costumers well no matter what, or they get their assed fired. So even if they know you're trolling, they have to act as if they're taking you completely serious.

Customer supports already have a shitty job dealing with shitty idiots who don't know shit 90% of the time. Don't do this.
