Things that piss you off

[Dana Scully]

Spoiler: possible tmi

So I was driving my brother home from family dinner and he asked to stop at this herbal supplement place, apparently to buy some herbal viagra shit because he heard he'll have a boner for THREE WHOLE DAYS and he's "planning on having so much sex".

And I was like uhh okay? Have fun with that. Really didn't need to know but whatever, it's his life.

And then he tells me about this long time friend of his who just broke off her engagement a few days ago and that he's, to paraphrase, going to tap that this week because he's always "regretted not sleeping with her".

And when I pointed out that it's really soon to try and sleep with her after considering she just broke off her engagement, he just says "well I don't want to have any regrets."

Oh my god, who gives a fuck about your regrets? You say she's your friend and she's probably going through a pretty shitty time right now and all you can think about is how you wanna fuck her? Really?

argh just

insert inarticulate mixture of rage and disgust here

Am I a bad person for being amused by his stupidity?

03:39 AM and the night shifts this weekend has fucked with my head so bad I can't sleep. Guess I'm gonna have to see a movie or something and try again later. Damn.

You should really let him know what happens to your penis if you have a boner for three whole days.

Spoiler: Doctors have to drain the blood out of it with huge needles.

On second thought, maybe you shouldn't

That's even better than kicking a guy in the balls when he won't take no for an answer. With any luck this girl will tell him no so he'll have blue balls and a permanent coat-hanger.


OT: Toddler in my bed again. I couldn't stand the wailing.

Family decides to order a pizza because the stove/microwave still aren't working and mom doesn't want to cook anything.

Get the wrong pizza delivered.

Mom calls back pizza place saying she didn't order this pizza. Lady on phone just says we got what we got because of a coupon we used, even though what we got is definitely not what was on the coupon. Mom tries to explain this, gets frustrated and the lady hangs up on her.

Sister phones back. She asks what kind of customer service is it to hang up on your customer. She says it was "getting abusive" (even though not a single cuss or hostile word was uttered). Sister asks to speak to manager. Lady says she is the manager. Sister asks to speak to the upper management. She says not there. Sister asks for the number. She refuses to give it. Sister asks when they'll be there. She says she doesn't know. Sister starts yelling at this bitch out right.

She hangs up again...

w.............................hat.

Aaaaa the pizza place called BACK post on hold as the exciting drama continues..................................................

Too lazy to go find the right post to respond to, but I was misinformed about that Paterno thing. Pennsylvania state law very clearly states that anyone that has information about rapes that have been committed is legally obligated to turn it into the police, and there are apparently other national laws along the same lines. (This was in the Zirin piece I linked to as well, but somehow I missed it the first couple times I read it). So yes, Paterno broke the law. For some reason he isn't being charged though, which just goes to show that powerful people are immune to the law.

Additionally, even if he was blackmailed, fuck 'im. Once again, anyone that would place his own career over the welfare of innocent children is complete and utter scum. The only way that blackmailing would absolve him of any responsibility is if people threatened to harm other children if he went forward, and I'm having an incredibly difficult time thinking of a plausible scenario where that would occur.

Well I couldn't get the game tonight because of reasons is just among one of the things that's grating at my nerves. I've been in such a bad mood all night. Dunno why, just am. So what I was looking forward to not happening just makes me fucking annoyed and there were issues at the bank and blah blah idek.
Annnyway I'm going to the store at 10am instead to get dis game but now I have to put more money immediately into my account because lol I'm a dumbass and other shit

Okay if that was you that ordered the pepperoni and mushroom, I read it back to you as pepperoni and sausage, and you said yes, and that's why you got that

But I've only once hung up on someone, it was some guy who insisted that he didn't want to have to pay as much as we were charging AND he was getting a discount. I wasn't going to lower the price anymore so I just hung up.

Raising your voice at a person serving you over the phone doesn't really help things anyway. Sure, it's cathartic for you, but a person cares less and less for a customer who gets louder and louder.

Especially when it's over the phone

I'm pretty laid back when it comes to admitting whether or not I am in the wrong. I only expect people to practice same courtesy. It's not even about customer service at that point, it's about calling someone out for being a generally shitty human being.

tl;dr version of the story - she punched in the wrong coupon which made us end up with the wrong order. It's not a big deal, mistakes DO happen - but when you're being a belligerent asshole about it, you shouldn't expect people to play nice. If you work in the service industry ESPECIALLY, and someone informs you of making a mistake, it's generally just a big no to answer with hostility.

All in all, if you treat others like shit then expect to be treated like shit in return

 

[Hisako]

That's fair enough.

I tend to apologise and consult a manager if I need to make a discount offer for whatever to make up for it; I tend to be apologetic and polite about the issue by nature regardless of whether or not the customer is full of shit

I will zone the fuck out when a customer starts to rant, though. I honestly can't give a shit about a customer's problems past the fact that I've inconvenienced them in some way by making a mistake. I go fix that mistake, and leave it at that.

That said, I will probably empathise moar if they're nice about it

Computer is being a dick and it's taking it 30 mins each time to load up. This is ridiculous. xD

 

[Lumina]

Yesterday was "Lose everything" day. Lost my cellphone, my computer crashed and got like 10000 college works to do. Hopefully my mom took it well instead of her usual yelling. Ob and almost lost my golden earrings....

 

[Madame Mayor]

I had to quit my less good job. Which isn't a bad thing, but it was good to have on weekends. After one busy day I was having a panic attack which wtf seriously body you can't handle a busy coat check? *sigh*

The guy I've been speaking to from the company I'm sure will be nice about it but I hate waiting for responses to emails like the one I just sent explaining that I can't work anymore and about paying me for the shifts I did do.

Pop ups that muck up the browser you on when you've got a pop up blocket so you have to close them and then firefox deceides to restore your tabs automatically rather than ask you so it happens all over again. Bleh!

You know that sinking feeling you get as you're writing an exam and realize you only actually know the answers to 20% of the questions and the rest you're just guessing on?

Yeah, that.
