[zorra_chiflada]

how fucking shit are customers!? what fucking pieces of shit.
those of you who can put up with it and keep your cool, i admire. and i'd like to apologise on behalf of the human population for the cunts.

I told someone to go down the road where it was cheaper and bring me back something.

[zorra_chiflada]

oh god, i hate when people complain about price. maybe if you weren't such a fucking piece of dirty shit i could knock a few dollars off. but you are. so you can pay MORE. sucked in. i win.

I might join up. Are they ready for a Lo_Lyfe type character who wants to share tales of his mega-penis?

no, they are strict as. they don't let you join with free email accounts, and new users sometimes have to post for 3 months before they get approved and their posts start showing up.

girlie: yeah i am, i mostly use the food/tv/current affairs sections though, i find the makeup and clothing sections a bit boring, and full of tiny asian girls who can afford million dollar handbags and 20 pairs of size 6 jeans and it drives me nuts. i post under the name "startenhash" there. and no, the name has nothing to do with drugs, it is based on the old telstra missed call service *10#

some people are cunts. it upsets me sometimes how people can be so fucking rude, nasty and aggressive in their day to day lives.

i don't deal with it much in my proper job since most journalists want something from me and members of the public don't really deal with myself, but at the library it is a bit nutbar. some people can just get so precious when it comes to books and essays and fines and waht not. also, libraries house some of the eccentric people on earth. true fact.

one classic case actually actually threatened me a couple of weeks ago - "are you trying to start a fight with me?" "uhhhh. no. you just can't have this copy of undiagnosed mental illness at university when you blatantly should be a special needs student until you pay your fines".

it's alright though. i say the right things, if they get narky i can just get a supervisor who will say exactly the same things i have already said, thus making the reader feel really stupid.

people have been escorted out of the library quite a few times by security. some people are SERIOUS. SERIOUS about education. hahaha. one guy called a colleague of mine "a fucking aids-spreading fag". he was banned. whitey.

Question: Which war would be more messy?
Customers vs people who work in service
or
Smokers vs non-smokers?
There have been pretty harsh comments on this board in the last few weeks about both...

what about the ones who ring you at nine at night asking how was you're service at qwik fit? They only ring to sell you insurance. I hate that (n)

It's a double edged sword if you ask me!

Because I'm in a 'Dumb Person' job, I like to befuddle people with my stupidity. I ask the customers if they've ever made up an animal, or tell them our tonic water arrives in increments of 1.5 litres.

most of my customers (people who just spent at least half a mil on a condo or little tiny home, most of them retired and so therefore home ALL THE F'ING TIME who expect perfection in their newly constructed homes) are nice. i'd say one in ten are rude and angry and speak at me instead of to me. they get all pissed off and fly off the handle and its my job to talk them down. they think i dont know anything (even though i've been with this company for 6 years almost, and i've heard just about every story/problem/issue there is).:mad:

i enjoy talking to the nice ones though:D

[paul jones]

I worked at a place a few years ago and in the same office were the customer complaints people.one day i heard this bloke shout 'JUST FUCK OFF!' to a customer.he was sacked on the spot.:)

[little j]

my ex-coworker (remember her? the crazy drunk one??) anyway... one day she was talking to one of our customers who didn't speak very good english (which many of them dont) and she yelled "LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH" and hung up on him.

still didn't get fired.

[Dorothy Wood]

most of my customers are nice, but they're still annoying. I used to deal with a lot more angry people at the old frame shop I worked at because we were basically swindling people and keeping employees on that were incompetent.

sometimes I have to remind myself that framing is not common knowledge...but it still gets old answering the same questions over and over. or having someone come in without artwork, trying to figure out how much it's going to cost or what frame to use. BRING IT IN! your memory of a color or size is more often than not, wrong. trust me. I am a professional.

another thing that's annoying is that some people are all like, "oh, I know the owner, please have him take a look at this", so I'll call him and be like, "so and so brought something in" and he's like, "who?" and I go, "you know, that one lady" and he's like, "yeah, just pick out something and tell her I thought it was fabulous". :rolleyes: I mean, yes, he's very talented, but he hired the people he hired for a reason. gahh.

also! interior designers are the worst! discounts! indecision! dropping stuff of and never coming back! bad taste! needy! arrogant! :mad:

[icy manipulator]

i really have to control my laughter at some ppl's accents. hearing an asian trying to say triple ripple is bloody hilarious. i do hate tho when an order gets screwed up because someone's accent is so bloody hard to understand. it's hard to say "LEARN TO FUCKING SPEAK ENGLISH!" without coming off as sounding completely racist

[hitmonlee]

hehehe i feel bad for laughing but it always amused me when accented asians would order "coke" at hungry jacks. never could get the pronunciation on that one just right.

customer: so, my bill is kinda late
me: yeah it looks like its almost a year late
customer: yeah and I owe a lot
me: we could set up some kind of payment arrangement
customer: are there late fees on the account?
me: yeah
customer: why?
me: because you're late
customer: can you reverse any of them?
me: no
customer: why not?
me: because you're late
customer: well I feel thats kind of on you....
me: .....how do you figure?
customer: you were mailing it to the wrong house
me: and how is that our fault, exactly?
customer: well, I didnt know I had to pay it
me: what did you think your house was being heated with?
customer: I dunno, I thought it was the electric bill
me: ...well, it wasnt
customer: can you take payments over the phone?
me: yes, theres a fee for it
customer: well how the hell am I supposed to get you money if you charge me to pay you?
me: the mail
customer: that'll take longer
me: well, seeing as your bill is over a year late, a few days extra wont make much difference



and yes, this is actually how I talk to people on the phone.

People are quite funny...it's interesting at my work because it's supposedly supposed to be more "high end", because it's with the fine arts and shit. But people are still people, which means they are cheap and jerky.

My favorite thing is that the cheapest ones are the most picky. We get a lot of folks coming in with vouchers for tickets, or students getting 8 dollar tickets (the symphony/opera costs up to 60 bucks a seat, so they are getting a good deal), and they will actually attempt to get the best seats possible. I'm like uh, no, you're taking the seats I'm giving you. They're fucking free, asshat.

Some guy the other day attempted to talk me into giving him a discount (which actually isn't hard to do, almost no seats are sold at full price), for no reason at all. He just kept being like "so that's the best you can do for me huh..." And I'm like, uh yeah, hasn't changed since you just asked me that.

Today some lady brought in her season renewal form and she had some bloody hangnail and there was blood all over the paper :( She didn't even say anything.
