TV Licence - What did he just call me?

So basically I phoned TV Licencing a few minutes ago to explain to them that I was behind on my payment and that I would be able to pay off the balance within a few days.

Everything was fine, until the end of the call.

I am assuming that he thought that he had already hung up, as he proceeded to say in a loud voice "Wooo, Motherf*cker"

I am just astounded that he said this while I could hear him.

Anybody else have similar experiences with them.

I don't see the point in complaining, as I doubt anything would be done about it.

    Obviously, you have a case for substantial compensation. :)

    For all you know he could have spilt a hot cup of coffee in his lap while on the phone.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    Now there is a man who enjoys going to work
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    I had this we didn't have a dessert delivered with a pizza, it was new place we had tried. One girl went to check the car and the other girl who I first told was talking to someone else 'The woman on phones lying saying we didn't deliver the desert but WE did can I just put the phone down?'

    Cue the other woman coming back on and saying she'd found the other bag in car.....obviously didn't realize we could hear her still...
    People don't know what they want until you show them.

    Indeed, the poster concerned seems to have only read the thread title...

    Why would I phone and say I don't require anything from them, when I have two TV's and therefore do need a licence?
