I work in customer service, taking orders over the phone and such. I Really don't understand
why people are rude to us, I can't help but think of the old adage, "Don't bite the hand
that feeds you" to me being rude to the guy whos writing down what you order doesn't make sense.
For example (I work with pizzas) oops, it was hot sprinkles, not half sauce? oops. I bet that
burned. I can understand people complaining for a genuine reason, something wrong with the pizza
or it was late or such, but people ringing up and complaining, then talking your ear of...

Don't you just hate it when people call Microsoft, Windows, and Linux derogatory names? Well, I
do. I think it's just useless, because calling them derogatory names won't get them
to improve; they'll just sue you or something. Here's a few of the examples of "nicknames"
of every company that I've heard over the past year: Windows: Windoze, Doors (don't really
get this one), Losedows ("lose", opposite of "win"), Faildows ("fail", pseudo-opposite of "win")
Microsoft: Micro$oft ($ meaning money-centered), Microshaft, Microsqu...

Okay The other day the new jersey office of the Nations Weather Service put out a servere thunder
storm warning for my area. No big deal really, But when the storm did get here, it was nothing. 1
little rumble of thunder and some rain, no wind or hail. I have lived in new jersey for 9 years and
Never have I seen our NWS get a storm right! When I was growing up in Mississippi, They would
put out a Thunderstorm or Tornado Warning or even a watch, They had it right. There would be one of
the two if not both. Up here they just love to cry wolf, if the weather looks eve...

This is my first ever Venting. Normally, I post in the vent..to actually calm down people or to give
them the solution(if there can be any). Well, BSNL is the biggest telecom company in India (B.S.N.L.
In INDIA Is like British Telecom in UK) and I've got an ADSL connection with them. The reason
for my anger is the frequent disconnection of the internet connection. It is so intermittent that it
disconnects almost 10 times in a span of 15 min.!(SAINT_MIKE KNOWS IT TOO!) I cant do any
thing properly on the internet..be it chat, email or what ever. I had to down...

This is referring to my cell phone problem...the LCD screen being cracked and supposedly getting
repaired! I had to pay an estimate fee of $50 but they never told me they were going to use
it for LONG DISTANCE calling to order the screen. I remember them saying it was for the screen and
repair because the screen is usually $50-$70 (+repair fee). And I'm so mad that I
can't get my money back. Maybe I'm being a child about this, but you've got to see this
from my prespective (ok maybe not...)! I just feel, they could of e-mail Rogers...

Grrr this just ticks me off, been without internet for 4 weeks, only because of a stupid mistake at
my provider. They cut me off, because they thought I was behind with payments for like 4 months,
allthough my bank account stated otherwise, they didn't believe me, not even when I send them a
copy of an overview. After wasting like €50,- on phonebills (they have a number wich costs like
€0,20 per minute and put you on hold for like 30mins) and 4 letters, they finally brought me back
online. They even dared to charge me almost €30,- for plugging me in, thats when they...

Norton Internet Security This me is venting Today all my programs that uses that uses the internet
Were not working for example the browser wouldn’t pick up on the connection So I rang my internet
provider to see what the problem was there way no problem at there end so they asked me if I had any
anti virus programs I said yes they asked me to disable it so I did and wow the internet was back on
so they internet provider told me to call Norton and tell them what is happening so I did was on
hold for about 30min Got to the operator and was telling them about my issue we...

--note-- There's an introduction to this post here --/note-- In the past four weeks, there
have been some issues which could be acceptable if they came one after another - but it's
horrible like this: 1) After I've been on vacation, my boss' substitute told me that the
system we use to verify the hours we've worked says that I'm 64 hours (that's worth two
weeks of work, roughly) behind schedule; I told her that this was definitely not the case and that
everybody would have noticed if I hadn't shown up for two weeks. She insisted that...

I got a laptop for graduation and the internet wouldn't work. I take it to the store where I got
it from. They say: "yes, the internet does work" I say "um, no it doesn't." "It does though."
"But when I called you guys, the guy on the phone said that he sees this problem all the time and he
had a software that could correct the connectivity problems" They say "Um, I've never seen this
happen and we don't have that software" "But he made a specific point of mentioning, 3 times if
I remember correctly, that he was so tired of people coming in with ACER ...

Doesn't it just gall you when people are inefficient at their jobs? I received a phone
call from a woman at BMG music with a 7 free CD offer about 10 days ago. She wanted me to select a
free CD over the phone so she could send it right away. I inquired about the cost of shipping and
handling, which she said was $2.00 on this special offer. Hmm, not bad thought I since it was
usually around $3.00 or so. I asked what CDs were available to me for free choice and she said
name one. I did. She said she would send it to me with my new membership pac...

-- information on german legal stuff for those living outside Germany -- A couple of years after
Germany got an army ('cause the US and UK thought Europe would be easier to defend against the
bad bad Communists with Germany having own armed forces; that's somewhat ridiculous since
according to most scenarios back then, Germany was more likely to become a nuclear battlefield than
a conventional one; France opposed a german army - after all, France had been invaded thrice in 70
years by Germany), the Draft (every male German has to serve) was amended to the "Grund...

weeks. On...

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!!!!!! I HAVE VALIDATED MY WEBSITES WITH THE W3C
VALIDATOR AND THEY DON'T WORK IN IE/AVANT! They work fine in Firefox and other
netscape-browsers including opera. But not IE and Maxthon!!!!!!!! I
am going completely crazy with making 85% of the web view my pages properly. Valid
CSS/XHTML/HTML/JavaScript with optimized connections and IE cannot display the webpage. Gosh!...

Okay, so you are on the computer one day, gladly increasing your posts on Trap17.com or playing your
favourite online Role Playing Game (RPG), and suddenly, you receive that eternal error from your
browser and from Microsoft..." has encountered an error and needs to unexpectedly close" So you,
yelling with all of your gut out, "WHY DID IT HAVE AN ERROR WHEN I WAS AT A WORLD HIGH SCORE?" for
example...honestly, Microsoft has tons of bugs and the websites we visit are not to blame (well,
some of them are...). What is the meaning of this? Honestly! I was typing up an i...

so we moved about two months ago. just like 50 meters acros the street. and when we moved it took
the phone company 4 days to give us a like for the phone and our internet was nowhere to be seen. so
they said ok on november the 22nd you will have your internet line. so i call nearly evey day to
make sure they got it right and today they say. "oh we lost our applications form somehwere. we will
try what we can to get you internet as soon as possible." well if for them soon is in another month

I sent out a 36 dollar's money order over a month ago for a IRCD shell and it still hasn't
arrived /mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /> i know that 36
dollar's isn't alot to most people but for being unemployed it really is alot , ive asked
the provider if they have recieved payment and there answer was no .. so im guessing the mailing
service has lost the money order and honostly i don't see any chance of getting it back grrr so
mad! It's only going to the US from Canada , it should of been there 3 week'...

NetGear - supposedly a well-known brand in Netwroking Devices, specially broadband modems and
routers. Well, I'm going to reveal to you all, how horribly bad their after-sales service is.
So, I have this NetGear DG632 ADSL modem-router connecting me to the world. The product works all
fine - except that it has a lousy web-based configuration interface which refuses to come up at
times. Just keeps loading and never comes up... anyways, that's not the problem.. The router
uses the standard NAT and Port Forwarding to forward various service requests (http, ftp, ma...

Here's the story... (almost a soap) My old pc died like 2weeks ago, when I ordered one over the
internet. They delivered it rather quick, within 5 days but the problem is... It worked only the day
it came. It began with the blue screen about vxd components and now not even 7 days later it
won't even boot properly, it won't even boot at all! Now I got to wait till they bring
another new system (free) wich will take almost another week. Argh! So after this is over, I
will just go to a store and buy my stuff there, on internet only god knows what they...

All right, here's the thing. I'm making a topic that's not a moral or ethical issue o_O
Anyways, if you don't know what I mean by the title, I mean when you see people overusing the
word "pwn" or "0|\/|6 U R |_4|\/|3 l0lolol!!!1!!one!!!"
Bad rendition but anyways. I know this is the internet and people have the right to type any way
they feel and that's fine; but haven't you ever talked to someone over the internet and they
just use it twenty four seven without stopping to type properly so your eyes don&#...

I've been on a BBS for a few years now and everything has been cool up until a couple of days
ago. This guy, who I don't even know- I don't think we've ever even been in the same
thread- sent me pictures of himself and... parts of himself. And then he asked for me to send him
some of me! "I want proof that you're really a girl", he said. /blink.gif' border='0'
style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /> So I wrote back to him and said that I
wasn't a girl, but a fake account of the most annoying guy on the board. I hope that worke...

Okay, so I'm chatting with my friend on AIM. I stand up, and I go to the bathroom. When I get
back.. It's a crime scene. My poor 500mhz computer has been killed by Instant Messages.
