To all you dumb asses that buy expensive shit like lawn mowers, pressure washers and the like, and then throw away your receipts; Please stop calling the customer service center and demanding that the company replace your faulty product for free. The fact that you have a serial number means nothing. You could have bought the thing second hand, found it on the side of the road, or stolen it out of somebody’s back yard. You might, to put none too fine a point on it, be LYING to us. And while it would be a wonderful world if we could all just assume everyone is telling the truth, any company that operates on that principle will quickly go bankrupt. So if you drop several hundred dollars on an appliance that stops working after a year, the fact that it is indeed cheaply made chinese crap does not change the fact that YOU are the shit-for-brains that threw away the receipt. And screaming your head off at the poor shmuck sitting in a cubicle answering the phone will not change the fact that you have to PAY to have it fixed. Grow up, suck it up, and keep your damn receipt next time.

🙂 I love people like caveat emptor.I’m one of those people who throws away receipts, because I have learned a trick to fooling Customer Support (those phone answering drones).Yes, you can lie, and it requires a nice, creative story. Remember, Customer Support usually records conversations, so lie effectively and remember you can always record the same conversation via your cell phone!For example: “I’m sorry. I wish I still had my receipt. I bought it online and picked up the item in store, but some white trash bastards broke into my house in Dartmouth and stole my f_cking laptop which had the e-receipt on it. Can you help me please?”Works everytime! Plus if people in Customer Support like caveat emptor give you difficulties, you can always go above them and explain the same situation to their manager, and add on that “I’m so sorry to have to speak with you, but Customer Support wasn’t being cooperative, and it’s not my fault my pc got stolen, otherwise I would have the receipt still. I can get a police report if you need it to prove my laptop got stolen. Can you possibly help?” Managers will do whatever it takes to keep a customer.As for caveat emptor, get a real job if you don’t like helping out customers. It’s customer support, not customer sabotage.
Having done my stint in Call Center Hell, I can tell you, Alex, that customer sabotage is exactly what the job is. The company isn’t paying these “drones” to give shit away. The drone’s job is to avoid giving the customer anything. The drone’s job is to absorb the customers’ wrath so the higher ups don’t have to deal with it. In fact, they get penalized for having too many “escalations”. As for speaking to the manager, I don’t know what kind of customer service you’ve been dealing with, but it doesn’t sound like a call center. In a call center environment, people don’t get promoted for making the customers happy. People get promoted for saving the client money. The thing is, Alex, most of these “drones” really do want to help the customer. But they’re not allowed to. If they give the customer anything beyond what they are absolutely required by the letter of the law/contract/warranty/whatever, they, the drones, get in shit for it.
I use to work for a company that would provide service and returns for a customer with just a serial number.They kept a solid database of serials and user names associated to them. This was a very large PC company that sold devices prone to theft and data loss.That being said this company does set a precedent that customers will expect, so a customer calling expecting this service is not neccesarily their fault.However, this system is expensive to set-up and maintain.So while it enhances customer service, it is not logical or practical for all companies.Plus companies saves money by not honouring receipts. 🙂
I actually agree with Caveat Emptor. If you buy something and lose/throw away the reciept why would you expect to get your money back for it? Especially after you used the thing for months or a year or so. Alex is exactly the kind of person Caveat is talking about, the kind who will lie and scam to get free stuff from corporations and think that’s not still stealing. The receipt is your proof that you bought from them, so hang on to it and don’t expect some dog-ate-my-homework sob story to work everytime. Some people are just takers and a business has a right to protect themselves from that kind of person. One other thing I have noticed (as someone who actually does save receipts) is that the ink has a convenient tendancy to fade over time, disappearing completely at about the 1 year mark when the warranty is up. This isespecially true for Future Shop receipts, so making and keeping a photocopy isn’t a bad idea.
I once had an expensive TV go caput within the warranty period. When I bought (and stored my recipt for) it I registered my warranty online, complete with name, address, phone, vendor info and, so it happens, serial number. Despite online registration I had to produce a copy of the receipt. I had it. It was no big deal but WHY did I need to produce it again when I’ve already registered my warranty? The “customer service” line was more concerned about their copy of said piece of paper than they were about fielding my complaint (of inaction… it took 3 months and a complaint for an exchange… 3 MONTHS with no TV!). caveat emptor, where are you on the totem pole?
I’m a drone, Kay. And I’ll tell you why the company made you produce your receipt. It is because they were hoping you wouldn’t have it. Alex, if you have figured out how to do an end run around customer “service”, then I salute you. What people like you fail to understand is that people like me WANT to give you what you want. We HATE the companies we work for. We KNOW they are screwing you, and we feel dirty for being a party to it. Unfortunately, you can’t eat integrity, nor can you pay tuition with it. Some day I will have a “real” job. And when I do, and I can afford to buy the cheap chinese crap myself, I will read my warranty statement, and I will keep my receipts and do whatever else I’m instructed to do. Because I KNOW that shit will break. And I KNOW when I call the customer “service” line, the drone-on-the-phone will be forced to try to deny my warranty claim. Not because he’s a prick, but because that’s what his employer is paying him to do.Oh, and good luck if you ever try that stolen laptop story with MY manager. The prick wouldn’t care if your receipt accidentally got buried in your grandmother’s coffin when you laid her to rest last week. No receipt, no warranty.
Alex, it might not be your fault that your laptop was “stolen”. It’s also not the call centre’s fault you failed to make a hard copy of said receipt.I’m glad your scam works for you but one day you’ll likely get burned on it.
If you have the product for several months then why SHOULD the company reimburse you. How are they to know that you are using the device properly. You could be throwing silverware in the microwave or using your lawn mower as an engine for your go-kart. There are way too many possibilities for them to honor potential scam artists. Now if it crapped out after less than a month then you hopefully had proof that you owned it. The only time I can see where you won’t need receipts is same day breakage. I had a hydrolic jack that for some reason had NO fluid in it, needless to say within twenty minutes I went back to the Canadian Tire for replacement (didn’t have stupid canadian tire money the cheap bastards). Where was I going with that.. Oh yeah, stay in school…
Why are there dumbasses out there that expect a company to honor a warranty policy TO THE LETTER but also expect them to overlook the expiration period or proof-of-purchase part of the warranty? Fuck you. Its because of those dumb shits that companies have to charge a little bit extra for product across the board.
i guess that’s why you work the customer service department. here’s a bolt of wisdom for you….legally, you do not need the reciept.thermal printed receipts fade long before you may need service either for replacement at retail point of sale or warranty service depot. any packaging will do, or piece thereof, in fact..a serial number will do, it will just take the retail outlet a bit of effort to find when that batch came through their system.stick to the wasted, blank mind numbing smile and do what you are told. or if it is beyond you, get a supervisor, personally I assume the person behind the counter or on the phone cannot help me, get me a manager and let’s both get on with our lives. better sending the kiddies off on break and drive up the countries gnp.
David, you don’t know what the fuck you are talking about. There are probably dozens of regular readers here who currently work or have previously worked in call centers, and we all know you are full of shit. I assure you, a manufacturer who wants to screw you over has more and better lawyers on retainer than you do. Here’s a little nugget of wisdom for YOU, Captain Smarter-Than-Everyone. There is no such thing as customer service anymore. Everything is outsourced to call centers, and the person who answers your call is the ONLY one who gives the least part of a shit about your problem. The supervisor is the supervisor because he/she has proven that he/she can be counted on to put the client’s interests above the customer’s. Your best chance of getting what you want is to be really nice to that vacantly staring phone drone you are so dismissive of. Because they will often go out on a limb for you, but not if you treat them like dirt.Asshole.
this was a good battle, but legally, david is right. A receipt is NOT needed. In many cases a printer in the register could fuck up, blob ink or whatnot. Even though they put the receipt in the bag, the information may be unclear. Now, stating that one must look to see the information is accurate can not be expected since the employee, in many cases, tossed it in a bag. Also, in many cases, the receipt only shows date of purchase, in the case of lots of prodcuts it doesnt state the warrantee expiration date. Now, in the case where a warranty is actually purchased, a date and an expiration date are usually put on there and are set in stone. The best thing about this conversation is that we clearly have a case of an employee that doesnt care about the people that he serves, but rather just get through the day and make sure he/she gets the pay check. Knowing the legal part of the job apparently doesnt matter, as it appears the customer service rep thinks they are the know all to end all of when the fuck we call. To that, fuck you caveat, people like you are the garbage that i encounter and defeat EVERY time because you dont know the policies that you think are law which in fact many times are illegal or not correct….. example is the receipt thing. Prime example, if the cashier put a receipt in with a cold beverage (which happens) and the beverage has condensation, the reciept could tear, or whatnot….. legally, that isnt the responsiblity of the customer, its one of them thing.Now to david. while you think going to managers is the best way, that isnt the case with many companies. Take for example bell/aliant, you couldnt be more correct about them, those pee ons that think they know policy and shit seem to have an interpretation of what goes on, and most the time they are wrong. Managers there CAN and will help you, but for the most part, most products (as oppose to services) have managers that cant do shit for you. the one thing is this, regardless of what caveat is saying, legally, you dont have to produce a receipt. The same reason you dont have to produce a reciept is the same reason a store doesnt have to produce a receipt when something is defective prior to leavin the store. While they may have paper work, it goes back to the company HASSLE free, and fixed or replaced. No questions asked. The same courtesy is extended to customers.
I’m standing up squarely behind Caveat Emptor on this one. I was one of those “minimum wage dweebs” about 6 years ago. I used to laugh at the superior assholes calling me stupid bitch, brain dead lackey, and so forth. Ha! That’s Doctor stupid bitch to you, asshat. Fuck off, David. You’re a tool. Oh, and if you’re going to condescend to the articulate Mr. Emptor here, you better brush up on your writing skills, because you sound like a first year psych dropout.
gee go figure miranda is using the language or grammar thing as the basis of insult. Like was said on here before, “you are being anal when you resort to suggesting grammar makes someone stupid” hey, i was a phoney jockey too at one point, but that doesnt change the fact that many of them seem to think they know policies…. and try to pass them off as law. In fact when shit is taken to small claims courts, the stuff that these people try to pass off as gospel is incorrect for the most part.A prime example was when bell took over aliant. I was excited to hear they had $1 unlimited incoming. They made it sound so great on the phone. What they failed to say was that you lose the 5 cents a minute after 8. So i was dialing away and not realizing that it was costing me 35 cents. i took them to BBB, and all the shit that the phone jockey passed on, about how it was my responsibility to dig in for this information, it was ruled in my favor. It was the responsibility of the operator to inform me of the ramifications of adding a new feature.
Homie, I know I’m going to regret engaging you, but you are dumb as a bag of hammers. The call center employee has NO CHOICE about enforcing the company policy. Caveat Emptor is doing his job. It’s not his fault the company he works for has unreasonable policies, and he doesn’t have the authority to override them and do what he thinks is right. He has to follow the policies, or he will LOSE HIS JOB. Why don’t you go work in a call center for a while just to get the inside scoop on what these people go through in a day? Wouldn’t that sort of research be right up your alley?
Actually, I don’t think stores have a legal obligation to accept any returns or offer any refunds. They do it as a customer service and each store draws up their own policies, which they may subsequently be obligated to adhere to. Same with warranties i would imagine…I don’t think a company has to guarantee their product at all, although it is better business if you do. Either way, I have had more success getting my money back by being nice over being sneaky and underhanded.
miles, in many cases, it isnt the store that should be called or dealt with. Most products have an acutal warrantee. Even though we choose to not delve into who is actually responsible to adhere to our issues, be it the store or the manufacturer. A reciept is still nothing that really proves anything. Example……. if i bought a DVD player from Sony on June 1st 2008 and was given a 60 day warrantee or what not…. then bought the same model and make of dvd player on December 1st, the store has no idea which player would be covered by warrantee as the actual unit number doesnt appear on the recipt. Ya dig?
again miranda, i said i did work in a call center, last year of high school. The point i was making (which appears to have slipped you) is that when a customer has made a point that is law, regardless of what the employee thinks, or regardless of the interpretation of what they might think, you are going to get variances of the rules and regulations from employee to employee. Bell is a prime example of that. Call them up and say, “Why cant i make a call even though i have 25 cents left on my pay as you go?” You will get different responses from different people. 1) “our policy is that you have to maintain a balance of 1 minute for a day time call”2) “your phone will be active only after eight when your rate is 5 cents a minute.”now, i wasnt able to make any calls after 8 but the second operator offered what he interpreted to be the case.Another example. I had a balance of 5 cents. I could use my unlimited texting and the internet. While i was on the phone arguing with the guy that was telling me what alliant’s old policy was, even though he only worked for bell, he went to tell me that i needed to have “a balance that would permit me to make one minute call during day time hours and that would be 35 cents. No other services will be available untill you attain a minimum balance of that”He went on to apologize and reiterate that this is company policy. After 5 minutes of making sure he was sure about his policy, i told him to look at my account, there was an incoming text, thus proving that what he said was policy, wasnt reality. I had a balance of 5 cents, and i text myself from my girlfriend’s phone. I am not saying they are all dicks and unhelpful, but some of these phone jockeys are head strong.
Oh great, its Homie’s comet… Too bad this one didn’t come back only every 75 years.Whew…. *big slow sigh*….
My point was that no store or manufacturer HAS to offer anything, but if they do, the policies might vary because they make up their own return policy/warranty. If they want a receipt, hang on to yours. If they want a serial number, write it down. If they want you to register your product, register it. If you don’t have what they want, don’t expect to have your desires accomodated and don’t go yelling at the poor guy on the other end of the phone for 30 min because he can’t do anything for you. Cell phones, cable companies, internet providers, banks and credit card companies are a different sort of customer service nightmare. They just try to confuse you into compliance.
Homie, I never invoked The Law in my original Bitch. All I have to work with is the company policy. If a customer thinks company policy is in conflict with The Law, then he better get a lawyer and take the company to court. And I think the company probably banks on the unlikeliness that anyone will actually do that. I AM sympathetic to the customers, because I KNOW this particular company is screwing them over. I routinely stick my neck out to interpret those policies as loosely as I can, because I don’t agree with them. But there are some things I CANNOT get around, and one of them is the receipt requirement. I, as a Phone Drone (really gotta thank Alex for that one!), CANNOT ignore or override the policy because I don’t agree with it. When you open the owner’s manual for this product, on the very first page, in BIG ASS LETTERS, it says KEEP YOUR RECEIPT. PROOF OF PURCHASE IS REQUIRED FOR ALL WARRANTY CLAIMS. So chewing my head off and calling me names for 30 minutes over a rule I didn’t make, can’t change, and have no choice but to apply is not going to put me in a concilliatory mood.
If you want to get technical/legal, this type of transaction is covered by contract law. If both sides intend to make the deal, that’s pretty much it. There are certain provincial limitiations where a cooling off period applies, but not for most consumer purchases. You bought it.. You own it. Returns are only offered in the context of good customer service, which BTW still exists.
*Hag of Bammers*
Moral of the story: Keep your receipt. End of story.Is this bitch done yet? It’s getting as boring as an M. Night Shimalayan film.
as you go through life, you hit snags…call center…no thanks. when you ultimately call bell in montreal to bypass aliant non employees whom know nothing of policy or the law hang onto the contact number and the number. actually, once you have gone that high, they will on their own encourage you to hang onto their number for the future. there is a reason why the front line employee want to be’s have failed you, and they do want to know about it.i have a personal banker with office and home numbers, same for aliant, microsoft, ibm etc.deal with the front line if you want, but they do not have the authority, or ambition to help you, simple as that.you are dwelling on what you know. you know what you are taught in the two week call center customer support course. today you are aliant, tomorrow, well, you could be bass shoes…assume you know nothing about anything that counts. certainly you know nothing about consumer law, it has a very great deal to do with the reciepts issued to the consumer. for caviat, i make it a rule not to date waitress nor anyone else with no ambition or obvious smarts. the leaders of our nation coming from call centers? i think not.
HAHAHAAHHPresident Obama,former Convergy’s employee of the month
What a pair of fucking clowns. Losers. Maybe you can track down gimpy and form the Triumverate of Douche.
No-bama, no no no.
David, you’re pretty naive if you think no one in the service industry or call centers has ambition or intelligence. That’s how ambitious people pay for their university education so they are not burdened with debt when they graduate. What a douchy thing to say. I know plenty of successful people (doctors, businessmen, engineers) who all worked their undergraduate butts off in call centers and coffee shops.
HAHAHA…..word up to Qwerty. This server has 2 degrees and working on a Masters. And most servers (like myself) I ASSUME, make more money than your stankin’, uppedity know it all ass. You should date one my friend, they may buy you a brain.BTW: Tip your server accordingly 🙂 🙂 🙂
david = secretaryhe who shall remain nameless = warehouse assistantgimp = water delivery guy
The smartest, most interesting, most balanced and successful people I know have at some point worked in a call centre or restaurant.
Actually, this douchery sounds a little familiar to me….don’t know if it’s the same david or not….but they seem cut from the same clothhttp://www.thecoast.ca/Elist-1732.112113-5281.113118-p17557.112113.htmlhttp://www.thecoast.ca/Elist-1732.112113-5142.113118-p17557.112113.html
listen qwerty, i didnt say that i agreed or disagreed with David about people that have worked in a call center. If you noticed, i said that i had already worked in a call center…… 2 actually, and one was market research. (not the annoying fucks that call you at home however). I am pretty successful in my field and have no real regrets about working in one of them places. However, i do know that the one that i worked for, i still have to deal with about 5-6 times a year. I remember the policies and see that they are interpreted different by certain people, and that there is certain people that really shouldnt be on the phones as they made it a pissing contest with the caller.
Ahahahaha what a fucking poser!Here’s a tip, douchie – if you want people to think you’re rich and/or successful, don’t go on like that. It’s a dead giveaway. I hope you don’t think you have anyone here fooled.hahahahaha!!!
@Miles, this ‘david’ character is nothing more than a pompous douchebag with elitist aspirations
Jesus, I’m going to regret this…That’s a good point. Many call centre employees are deliberately rude and cantankerous, with huge issues and egos and take it out on the customer. Not all, but some… typically the lifers.
i never said i was rich, i am successful however. I am fairly high up in my industry, albeit one that many people dont really know exists. But i have got a decent clientele and what not. Many of the names that are my clients have been mentioned here in posts within the last month, but the very people that dont like me. But whatever. That really has nothing to do with anything.I like how if someone says they are successful, or they are rich, that means instantly that they arent. What kinda stupid ass logic is that? Stating ones wealth isnt something that needs to be a secret…… or is something that is a necessity. Who cares if someone says they are rich? Why doubt them? How silly is that? I say i am black…. do you contest that? No. You take that as fact.Sometimes i think you just type to hear yourself speak.Either way, i am not knocking call centers, i would never walk into one without spraying a clip from an uzi as i hate the pricks now that i no longer work there and think they could be a touch bit more polite. I do realize that some seem to think that 2 week training course game them zen jedi super powers, but there are some nice ones that listen and will ask others if what the customer said is valid.
Who are you “clients” Homie? The chick with the roomate who fucks too loudly, the dude who shoots up in the parking lot, and that guy in the SUV who almost ran over a jogger?
no sir. I work in the music industry. I have a job that many do not really have too much knowledge of. Either way, that is enough about what i do.
I was just kidding homie…I don’t really expect you to tell us what you do. I just got an image of a 6’4″ black guy in purple tights with a big “H” on the chest…probably a cape, fighting injustice and inequity wherever it is to be found on the cranky streets of this fair city.
New trollympic sport: Guess Homie’s job.Music industry. Oft-mentioned clients. Mysterious industry.Are you a performer? (hot or cold)Are you paid hourly, salaried, or is it piece work?Are you required to wear a bluetooth headset? If not, do you wear one anyway and make people guess whether you’re talking to them or the person in your ear? (I know, it has nothing to do with it, but that JUST happened to me and I just kind of stared a the dude.)
speaking of super heros….are you like me and think that heath ledger wasnt so much great as that was just a brilliantly written role? I really think many differnet guys could have played that, but with makeup and the fake that we compare his Joker to Jack Nicholson’s Joker, makes heath’s performance seem that much better?
no, i am not a performer, however i was for MANY MANY years. I no longer perform. I dont wear a silly assed blue tooth. I am not paid hourly or on salary. I am self employed and run my own business. No, i dont run an indie record label. I work from my phone and from home. I rarely go out anymore.
I thought the same thing. He was brilliant in “Lords of Dogtown” though – totally unrecognizable. Great movie, however, and great character.I heard Crispin Glover might take over the role of Joker for the next Batman movie, which I think would be both brilliant and deliciously risky and controversial.
Hmmm… promoter? No, too obvious… Chocolate Rain guy from youtube? No, too… something. Are you Master T?
they should retire the Joker with the whole Dark Knight series. Just think it is not really appropriate since the next guy is going to have non stop comparisons to Heath. Can you imagine the interviews?I did not see the Dogtown movie. I did however get roped into seeing Brokeback Mountain. He was good in that, but Matt Damon can replace him in anything. (the things i had to do to keep the girlfriend happy)
or Mr. T?
Check out Lords of Dogtown. It’s totally cool, and based on a true story.And check out this if you like to laugh and were alive in the 80s:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uwuLxrv8jY
Remember, Homie also reads other parts of the coast as part of his job…..professional music blogger?
well, you are in the area when you say promoter, but lets leave it at that. I dont promote things in clubs, i dont promote anything, but they are clients sometimes as are others in the music indstry. Funny, i knew master t when he was an intern at City Tv, long before much music existed. Did you know muchmusic, supposed to be a rival to CBC’s first all video show, Video Hits with host Samantha Taylor? Just found my autograph from her and thought i would share that. To show you my age, i was around before Much Music, I was around before City TV was Channel 7 in toronto. I was around before City Tv became Channel 57. I was around when City tv, was Channel 79. The only way you could get it was like live 15 miles from the station and had a tv with a knob that went to 81 and you had to have rabbit ear anteena. My favorite shows on that network back then? Hillarious house of frankenstein and Rocket Robin hood.So if that hints that i am nothing that is too clubbish anymore.
MR T! That’s it!
Homie Pities the Fool.
brilliant editing on that brokeback thing…..I love how people have the time for all that……but this is more my generation…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNJN8r1YamYim old enough to have dressed and done that.
I used to love Hilarious House of Frightenstein. I tried watching it a few weeks ago and it seriously creeped me out. Master T came to my high school. So did Erica Ehm. I loved Sook Yin Lee, she was cool.So are you a manager?
did you see the cameo by the dectective on Law and Order in that clip? Look again and you will spot him.
Whoa… I don’t even know what to sayHere’s one for the fans of Obama, and of people with WAAAY too much free time:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65I0HNvTDH4
manager isnt really what i am… but sorta. Erica Ehm, man. I could tell you stories about her and her nightclubbing days. When i used to Dj back in ontario, she would show up with her college nimrod friends….. MAN could they drink. The biggest loser from the much enviroment was Monica Deol. She thought she was royalty. The best much personality i worked with and was all balls in at charity events was BradFord How. That guy donated his name and position to anything. Great guy. I wonder where these people are today. JD roberts is John Roberts on Entertainment tonight. Funny that Hillarious house of Frankenstien referance. I get stoned and watch that in digital every so often. Fun Times. Cant believe i loved that shit. Hey, I was on Just Like Mom back in 79. That was the beginning of it all for me *giant eye roll*. Have you seen any of the Original Hammy hamsters anywhere on TV? I wanna show him whole episodes, but youtube has them all mashed up.
Ok, so….I know it’s getting close to the witching hour and all and it’s almost a full moon, so strange things might happen….but, are Qwerty and Homie actually getting along? Or is Qwerty just trying to get Homie to let his guard down so he will reveal his true occupation? Tune in this time next week when you will hear Floyd say “Gimpy, fuck off you troll”. Drink your ovaltine.
Legally there are several factors.One the party must clearly be asessed of the terms and conditions, meaning that they must read that boring end users agreement.B) The contract must be fair. Meaning that if it is too one sided then it is in fact unenforcable and becomes nullSigma) the contract must have clear exceptions and be worded suscinctlyRalf) good luck with the courts should shit hit the fan…Pity the fool.
you a DNTO fan, Qwerty?or catch any of Sook Yin’s reportage in Beijing?i like her
i told you that i never make this personal. If you dont agree with me, i am okay with that. From OP to OP, each person gets treated like they are new. I have no personal qualms with anyone and really do not get kicks out of name calling the same person in multiple threads. I pretty much ignore the bashing.Now, back to the youtube.I do not know if you have seen 2 girls and 1 cup, but if you put it in the search on youtube, you will not see the actual video. but if you watch like 5 of them, you will see that they all have the gross out reactions synched up to the music. After like 5 videos you will want to see what the video that they are actually watching…. and then you will laugh at yourself and find the reaction videos that much funnier. Now i am not reccomending you watch the actuaal video, but the youtube reaction ones are hillarious.
I hope you know me well enough by now Homie to know that you also shouldn’t take anything I say personally. I hope you don’t take my teasing as feuding. I’m just goofing around. And 2 girls 1 cup is gross. It’s fake, but still gross.
@caveat emptorI’m not telling you what the mechanics of it are, I have illustrated what the legality of it is. (again, reading for comprehension, it’s a job skill, really…but you go with the skill set you got).if more people insisted on pursuing their inherant rights, the issues would not come up at all. commercial enterprise will resort to least possible effort every time. customer or client can change that. typically, the proper paper sent to the person that can help you is more than sufficient to resolve the situation. whom that paper comes from, well, that’s there choice. an easy way to get through the day, or the other way.you have a call on line 4, whenever you’re ready, that is. attitude certainly will limit your future prospects, keep the situation you have, even if it seems to be a bit much for you. you may never rise to such a position of importance ever again. hopefully.
and btw since you have me started, getting around the call center is simplicity itself, if you are prepared to make the effort. calling Bell/Aliant in Montreal for instance bypassing the local minimum wage dweebs produces results that you can only dream of.
Caveat, don’t mind david. He’s just a little cranky because his period’s late.David, don’t worry. You can’t get knocked up from taking it up the butt. And I’m sure you won’t be a secretary forever. Hold on to your dreams of being someone, little man. Hold on.
Your condenscending tone doesn’t hurt my feelings at all, David, I deal with people all day long who think they’re better/smarter/more important than me. I know they’re wrong, for the most part, so it rolls off my back. You know David, you refer to these managers and supervisors as if they were a higher order of life. But consider this: Call centers are almost entirely staffed by university students. It’s a perfect job for a student, if you can handle the dehumanizing attitudes of people like yourself. These minimum wage dweebs you are so contemptuous of are the people who will be teachers, scientists, engineers, and so forth in a few years. These managers that you think so highly of, on the other hand, are people who have chosen to make a career of working in a call center.
SSSNAP! Well said!I used to work in a restaurant when I was in school, and my supervisor was pretty much the prototype for the dude in Office Space. Fast forward 10 years – he’s still a supervisor in a restaurant.
Oh, and btw. I wrote the original bitch right after being screamed at for 30 minutes by some maniac who wanted a brand new $400 pressure washer in exchange for his two year old one with absolutely no documentation of any kind. And he wanted someone to drive out to his place in rural Alberta to “get this piece of crap off his property”. So I was blowin’ off a little steam there. I am usually a lot more sympathetic.
no i dont take ya serious,but i dont know dude, my old job was a nightclub dj, true story dude, a girl asked to put a cork in some door guy at the club’s butt, when dude was about to finish, she pulled it out and dude shit himself. He ran to the washroom embarrrassed, he came out and she was playing all in it…….. weird, but hey, some people like that nonsense. Weirdest was a guy used to pay a stripper to pee in a beer glass….. i do not need to tell you the rest…. of course this shit was VERY rare in strip clubs and they arent like that any time i had been to ralphs thank god.
That shit story is compleatly gross..*get’s popcorn*Please, continue?
when i worked at a strip club in london ontario, there was a guy that paid a chick a grand to squat over a glass coffee table and bust a dookie, while he was underneath watching. I got paid a hundred bucks to wait in the next room and make sure she was safe, but there was no FRIGGIN way, i was standing and watching the show. Most calls for stags were great, that was the weirdest thing i had ever been privy to being within 20 feet of.
Holy fuck………………Did he eat it?()_:)
i really couldnt tell ya. I can tell you that it was about the grossest thing i had ever heard of. She went and washed up, i stayed in the living room and we never really talked about it that much after. Still great friends like 10 years later. IN staying with the thread here and how people in unexpected professions can be something, much like call center jockeys that can become doctors, this fine young lady that is clearly ashamed that she took a agrand for shitting on a coffee table is second or third from the top in neurosurgury in one of the more important hospitals in toronto. What people do for money when in university.
haha, reminds me of a friend of mine who, in his youthful zeal and penchant for easy money, was hired to do (or shall i say POOH) the same thing. the client, naked & prone on the floor under a glass coffee table, eagerly awaited the steamy turd, whilst vigorously stroking his member.i have NO idea what happened next… i didn’t have the stomach to ask.
yeah, i wanted to leave out the part about dude under the table and the strokin, as i thought i might have crossed the line at that part…*snicker snicker*its funny, different thing arouse different people. I cant really knock anything nowadays as i see the hottest chicks with guys that really look outta place with em… (as in my case), i see guys that love REALLLLLLLLLLLLY big women, guys that love pee play, guys that love breast milk bein shot up on them. That shit is weird, but then it is no weirder than the people that think up shit like Hostel and Saw. Different things pleasure different minds. I am pretty passe about that stuff now. It is too much to watch, far to much to participate in, but like a car wreck, ya cant turn your head when you see good poop stories on the internet…Long live 2 girls 1 cup
what the hell at the glitch in this site between 1 am and 2 am? Ya think someone would have fixed this shit by now?
Holy Fuck Homie… Just Like Mom..?? That used to be my favourite TV program… We had the original Sony Betamax to tape the show while I was in school… I remember this one episode, there was all these little 4-year old boys on with their mother, and there was this one 6’4″ nappy-headed kid who looked a LOT older than the others,,, that must have been you.So anyway, with your watersports fetish here, I suppose when you go tinkle, you must be Just Like Mom…
BTW a couple of weeks back, there were some comments re the old urban legend that Jerry Mathers from Leave it to Beaver grew up to be Alice Cooper…So I think its time that we started a myth for the new milleneum, that Buckwheat from the Little Rascals grew up to be He Who Shall Otherwise Remain Nameless… So Homie if you see something to the effect of Fuck Off Buckwheat you Troll….!!!!, you’ll understand the reference….BTW Homie, Gimpy, and Tech… All three of you trolls were posting here several times between 1 and 2 AM last night, and you guys fucked it all up… You know better… Now smarten up…!!!!
OK last post for me this AM… Did anyone catch the Trollympic event last night…?? Parallel Uneven Personalities…Gold Sliver and Bronze (in order) to the three aforementioned…

man floyd, of all the regs, i would figure you would be the one to realize this “troll this” or “troll that” would be tired, but if you would like to keep the jokes coming like they are fresh….and yes, i was on the show, to put my age into real perspective, i was on there before Fergie Oliver was the host….. the original host was Steven Young or something like that.LOL @ my mom having to eat cookies with mustard and ketchup in them.
What kind of doctor are you Miranda? : )
Actually Homie, turns out the troll thing is not that tired. A recent Internet study (I forget the name but you can look it up) showed that posting board participants preferred troll hunters to trolls by a margin of 14 to 1. (thats 86.77% for you statistics types)… So there Fact Boy…!!!BTW standing by while your poor mama eats cookies with ketchup and mustard, you are one sick dude, buddy, one sick dude…
I’m a physicist, Lilac. I worked in a call center while I was doing my Masters. So much for David’s theory.
That’s nucular physicist, right Dr M..?
That’s kinda cool. : )
