  It's Michael, really. (@gmpoet_) reported 3 minutes ago

  @Microsoft should hire me so I can fix whatever bullshit @Skype foreign currency scam is going on. It's ludicrous that I can't delete my Skype account THAT I NEVER USE BECAUSE SKYPE SUCKS without deleting my entire MSFT account (which I mostly never use).

  Hey @Skype your chat feature for tech support counts down my position in queue, then sits on “1” forever. How can I get support through chat? I didn’t switch focus to other windows. Wasted a lot of time on this.

  When your job uses both @Skype and @MicrosoftTeams it's a lot like when you change cable companies and the new company literally rips out any of the old existing connections just to make the other company's life hell if they ever have to hook up service again. #GetYourOwnSandbox

  @Skype your support the #IranRevolution by offering free calls at a time the internet has been shut down in the country was greatly appreciated. Alas it was too short lived, while the revolution and crackdown continue. Any chance you'd like to renew your support?

  They never give you a phone number for customer service and they don’t help anyone. The lazy customer service just locks the accounts to avoid doing any work. I was using @Skype paid services & now you won’t get a penny out of me. @Microsoft if you give a damn, @SkypeSupport

  @Skype I don’t have Skype on my iPhone yet when I accept Skype on my MacBook, it keeps trying to connect to the camera on my iPhone. Why and how do I fix this? It’s annoying.

  @Skype your services have been down for almost a week? I can call my friends and family on their land line or mobile using my credit. I have now missed my mum's birthday and my parent's anniversary This is unacceptable!!

  So, it's been a long time, but when did @Skype become a combination of expensive to use, completely unintuitive, and broken?
