I don’t know much about the context of this recording, but I can relate to both the caller and the CSR.

Luckily for me I was never in a situation where things got this bad.

All I know about the recording is that it was featured in Bandila before. But if anybody out there knows more about it and the events that happened before or after it, I’d appreciate a heads up.
