Hello I would like to cancel my flight to BKK because of the flood.
Answer yes however you can only get the taxes back.
Me well it say i can change my ticket for free.
Answer "not you cannot do that let me read you your ticket rules"
Me not don't read me the ticket rules! Give me to a supervisor.
Answer " no" i don't need to give you supervisor, i can handle this.
Me I want a supervisor, its on the internet the flight can be changed.I continue to banter back and forth trying to get supervisor for a few minutes.
Answer let me check.
4 min wait, yes you can change your ticket
Me Oh wait so now you see why i want to speak to a supervisor.
Answer I am sorry.
Me OK i want a supervisor
Answer NO I can handle this
Me UGH I give up.........

this is stupid, obviously LH needs to change this policy and let customers cancel tickets...
LH has agents, who are very very helpful (and experienced) and others, who are just plain stupid.

Golden rule: Hang up and redial
