Nothing oxymoronic about that. I had one just this morning. (Runs and ducks for cover).

That’s cause you’re in Ireland. North American customer service is generally great compared to Europe, and compared to Taiwan and other places in Asia, well, don’t get me started. :sunglasses:

Yeah I’ve heard that. Over here customer services is the layer in an organisation designed to keep the managers free from having to deal with customers. According to people I’ve spoken to, in North America, customer services is the part of the organisation that is designed to keep the customer happy. I’ve even heard it is a concept which permeates the company from top to bottom ! A novel idea. I think it would work in the UK & Ireland, but nobody’s tried it yet.

Criminal lawyer.

No, wait… What’s the opposite of oxymoron?

United Nations …

Jeff,

The oxymoronic counterpart to a criminal lawyer is the “civil lawyer” who practices “civil litigation” and files a “legal brief” one inch thick.

Then there’s soldiers killed by “friendly fire” or fighting in a “civil war.”
