      Rant 2

      People are idiots, I sold Tommys old Batman pedal bike on ebay last week, the buyer paid straight away. I had specified collection only, and have messaged the buyer three times with my address and phone number asking when they will be collecting the bike.

      This morning I receive the following message…

      "Hi,

      Not got the bike yet, can you let me know when it will be posted"

      Seriously....... 😠

                    Customer to a work colleague yesterday:

                    " I'm sick off that man bumping into me! He does it every time I'm here"

                    WC: "Well I'm sorry, but that's just Eddie"

                    C: "Is there something wrong with him?"

                    WC: "He has only got one eye…"

                    C: "Oh, oh....."

                    C: "Well... I think it's disgraceful that he's working here"

                    C storms off.

                    More from the wonderful world of retail.

                          True enough, but that constant irritation at the unending stupidity of your fellow human beings can wear a fella down.  I know that when I left the retail/service industry, I became a nicer, more relaxed person.

                          Still basically a dick, though- just less of one.

                                Is this how you spend your time away from the job, too?

                                        So I went to Austin for my summer break. Everything was dandy till my mom asks me "How many jeans did you bring" I replied with "one". She gave me a lecture on how dirty my jeans were -_-. I will endure this for my IH's

                                          Well, arabit, clothes, and that includes jeans, are meant to be washed on regular basis.

                                          Would you wanna wear a T-shirt, say,  3 months without washing?

                                          Your Moms right, as always.

                                            At least he was in Austin.  Wearing filthy, smelly jeans and looking homeless fit right in.

                                            (And before anyone gets offended, I like Austin; it's a fun town.)
