The person who answers call obviously does not know he is being paid for service he provides. I called to request a form. He rudely hung up on me twice!

Hello, the man that repeatedly answering the phone calls is extremely rude to the point he hangs up on you several times. I've called more than 6 times today to get through someone else and he hangs up on me every time. He even answers the Spanish speaking calls then says he doesn't speak Spanish and hangs up. The first time he was very frustrated answering my questions he did not want to bother to help at all 'courteously'. as it says on the automated call and drops call after saying everything online. He refuses to let me talk to a supervisor to further my explain my call. And will hang up every time! Someone needs to know the type of service that is being given to people just wanting help or information.
I have tried multiple times to get an answer about something I needed help with the first time the rep hung up on me then the second time he was very hateful and then started screaming at me literally screaming ' I dont know' loudly for all my coworkers to hear then hung up . I am very frustrated with the way things are being handled and I cant get any assistance
Buenas tardes para hacer cita y sacar seguro social?
Omg! Seriously? Apart from this Past Monday? I've been Hung up on 4 times, that THING that answers the phone IS Extremely Rude and Doesn't let You finish explaining. I placed an application online Monday and I spoke to this Guy and tells Me he's going to set an appt. for me and hangs up on Me, so I thought maybe a mistake but NO, this Guy is just this BAD. Something Needs to be done about him SOON. Personality It's hard enough going through all I have going on and to face this? Unacceptable!
I have tried all day to fax a withholding paper to your office and am told there is no answer. I’ve tried calling the Odessa office to see what else I might be able to do or if you have a drop box outside the doors that is checked for forms dropped off. Unfortunately no one has answered a phone call even though I’m told that someone would be with me monetarily. You help would be greatly appreciated.
