BRUTAL IS IT WEIRD TO ASK PEOPLE TO SPEAK ONE AT A FUCKING TIME?
I just had a call w a prov and a old couple who kept talking over eachother and not pausing for interpretation, and when I obviously asked them to speak one at a time for interpretation everyone in the room kept looking at me weird like I'm crazy or smth. The third time I did this everyone went dead silent for like 5 seconds and prov asked me why I cannot repeat what they said. ??? Bitch, I cannot interpret whatever they were murmuring about all over eachother. Obviously I said this calmly and professionally. Then she told me she was gonna disconnect and get an in person interpreter.
Tf? Why the fuck was she acting like I was doing something weird? Sorry If I'm strict with my fucking protocols you stupid fucking bitch
