Customer Service Worker Reveals They Can See What People Are Typing As They Type It—And Oh Dear

Customer service worker and TikToker @everybodyonstage left viewers stunned after revealing that people who work in virtual customer service can see what customers are typing as they're writing their messages—even the things people end up deleting before sending.

A creator on TikTok who shared he refrains from "blowing people's f**king minds" at work every day actually blew ours with the information he disclosed in the process.

Virtual customer service worker Greg Carruthers (@everybodyonstage) left viewers with their jaws on the floor when he revealed he can see what people are typing in their chat before they hit send.


Wait, what?!

Let's be honest. Ten times out of ten, we reach out to customer service when there's a problem...when we're frustrated...when we have no control over the situation.

Read: When we're angry and have yet to get a firm grasp on our emotions.

On such occasions, we may insert an expletive or two to drive a point home but in the brief moment before hitting "send," we think better of it.

Well, guess what. It doesn't matter.

Carruthers claims the person on the other end of the chat already saw your excessively rough draft.

He explained:

"I just started a new customer service job, and I'm, like, on chats all day long."
“And when people type in the chat, I can see what they’re writing."
“Sometimes they’re like, ‘f**k you,’ and I can see it’s coming."

He noted the reason behind this feature is so that the representative assisting the customer can be ready with a response, but the TikToker says that just once he would love to reply before the message is sent, you know, just to "blow someone’s f**king mind."

"So when they ask us a question, I see what they're gonna ask me, so I'm like forming a response as they type it."

He then asked, "What if I just..." and pretended to hit the "send" button.

“It takes all my strength every single day not to…blow someone’s f**king mind, make them think I’m a medium or something."
“Like, they’re asking a question to the ether, and I’ve answered it before they’ve even asked it."
"Now that’s customer service, baby. That’s what I’m talking about.”

A few even encouraged the TikToker to go ahead and prematurely press the button.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
