And I thought it was only the IRS that made people nervous. Didn't know the common everyday citizen could make an IRS worker or what ever you may call the person whom answers intake question regarding your taxes over the phone.

They blurt out their name and employee identification number so fast I asked him to hold on and to please spell his name. He hung up on me after placing me on hold a couple times after asking him this question! All I wanted was recorded information showing whom I spoke with on this date and time I had called. Isn't that why they say their name? Obviously it's open information. Has this worker never had someone interogate him with a reasonable logical question before? Sheesh! How rude!

Hahaha!

Probably not. The whole point of a government job is to avoid any kind of accountability.

(my apologies to those on this forum that have a government job, maybe that should say federal, but I'm not going to change it now)

Hah!

Maybe he's been in trouble before? or maybe if he speaks JUST fast enough, they won't know who it is you're talking to.

Genius.

Just an FYI,

People at the IRS help desk don't give their real names.
