Phone Idiocy, Part 1204

Phone rings. I pick up ...

ME: US Marshals Service.

HIM: I’m looking for a number for the federal government.

ME: Which agency, sir?

HIM: The federal government.

He then went on to explain that he’s being exploited in a child support case or something like that.

ME: Sir, our agency doesn’t handle child support cases. You need to call your local authorities first.

HIM: I was told that it was a federal matter, so I need a phone number for the federal government.

*SIGH*

ME: There is no such number, sir. You need to figure out which agency handles that and look for a number for that agency.

HIM: Oh.

It was really tempting to put him on hold and find a number to a Senate democrat, but I resisted.
