So I am on the phone trying to get my payment straight because I owe the college money said college will remain anonymous, but I will say that it is very heavy on the doctrine and sometimes not enough on the love which is also why I left there early so basically I call them and I’m just very straightforward with what I want and the first guy seems to be having some phone problems like hearing me and then he patches me through to the other guy and again I am very straightforward with what I want and he also has phone problems so I say that the other guy has phone problems and then he apologizes and then I say it’s nothing you need to apologize for I just want to know how much money I owe and then he says what and then I say it’s not something that needs an apology. I just want to know how much money I owe and then he says that I can do it online and I say I don’t want to. I just want to know on the phone if he says that’s not something we can do over the phone and then I say OK then transfer me to somebody who can do that and then he says OK. What is your student ID number and I say I don’t know and he says well I can’t help you with anything else then and then I say let’s verify another way and then he says OK fine and then he asks for my name and then tells me how much I owe and then I just simply say you need to get another job. Thanks bye now given a lot of what I said was in anger, but do you guys think that I am the asshole??
YTA – You needed to have stayed in school with this wall of text. No structure, no punctuations no nothing. Just rambling on and on.
Also, you were unprepared for the call that you made. How could you think that without your student ID, anyone is going to know who you are. You sound insufferable and entitled.
That entire stream of consciousness above is just **4** sentences and 2 commas.
If you want people to read this and provide feedback, please right it in a way that is readable.
YTA – Clearly phone issues making communication between you and the college difficult (which is of course frustrating) but the guys on the other side are only doing their job and following what they know have been shown.
But insulting them you made it personal and that is what makes YTA
YTA. It doesn’t matter that it was a Bible college, that you disagree with their doctrine, that the first guy had phone trouble, that the 2nd guy was less than helpful.
You were rude to very likely the lowest paid, least trained people there. He’s probably thinking “yeah, I wish I could get another job, thanks for that”.
Also, “I’m very straightforward with what I want” is probably code for “I was rude from the word go”.
It would have cost you nothing to just say thanks and hang up. Or even just hang up.
Is this an actual college or just some religion thing? Because if it’s an actual college you need to ask for a refund for failing to teach you sentence structure and paragraphs.
What the school taught has nothing to do with your post. The school legally can’t just hand out information to just anyone, so they WERE doing their job. It sounds to me like you know YTA and are looking to justify it.
It wasn’t their fault they had phone problems. That’s why they recommended online. It wasn’t their fault you didn’t have the identification information they needed, it was yours. For someone complaining they didn’t preach enough on “love” it sounds you never understood the concept beyond using it to avoid accountability. They don’t need a different job, you need to be responsible for your behavior.
It sounds like your call went to students manning the phones and not the actual bursar. It doesn’t cost anything to be polite

Don’t be rude to customer service people. They have enough going on. Also, your student ID was the easiest way to figure out that you are who you say you are as opposed to someone else fishing for information.
YTA – There are privacy rules in place (if an accredited college)… they can’t just offer info out on the phone without verifying who the caller is. If you had given your ID, he’d probably also ask for your name and DOB.
Do you want anyone calling to ask how much you owe? This is why they ask for these things… and so they can be accurate with the information they give you. How do you know you aren’t the only kadinthekid who has attended that college?
Just do it online. Stop being an AH
You sounds bitter. Your payment issues had nothing to do with what they taught you.
YTA. People like you are why I’m burning out at work and exhausting my PTO.
You wasted your money not going to English class. What a hot mess! Why all the long explanation of type of college it was? Why not be prepared with proper ID or info ypu might need?
Why not do it on line if the phone connection was bad? ” I don’t want to”
You were rude, and yes definitely AH
YTA, and for Pete’s sake learn how to write.
YTA
You were rude and making everything as difficult as possible, took up their time to do something you could have done yourself (you just didn’t ‘want to’), and then after they helped you, you insulted them.
What part of this makes you think you *aren’t* an AH?
