Dell. 3 times they promised a hardware swapout on Monday. So I stayed at home. Never turned up  

O2. Stupid bloody woman, simply because I couldn't quote my last statement (despite answering about 5 other questions right, she wouldn't talk to me, or get a supervisor call me, or let me cancel.  I firmly suggested where she could stick my phone  


As my collegue (who has witnessed my tantrums with various companies this week) said, you have to expect poor service, and if they do what you want, treat it as a bonus.

It does seem to be the norm these days, having to deal with all these incompetent arses on the end of the phone, only after having to endure the flippin automated part first

[TheBoy]

But according to the automated system, my call was very important to them

Been a good week for me so far, Monday quiet, Tuesday quiet & today had to photograph Kelly Burgess page 3 girl, life can be hard sometimes

Its because we are being taken over by big companies. If it was a one man band it would be much better service.
In their minds , they dont care if they piss off 100 people , as they would have already got another 1000 on board probably. Very sad but true!

In fairness to both companies, a little perserverence, and I ended up dealing with people who seemed to care, and both resolved my issues (one way or another).

Its just the odd ones. You should take a leaf out of my book and never get angry !

As a rule, I never do in such situations - losing temper is admission that you lose the debate in my book.

In the case of Dell, I didn't lose my rag, but the idiot had nowhere to go, so he just had to accept a 35 minute dressing down from me. Poor sod. I think he was nearly in tears

In the case of O2, tossers, she stonewalled, wouldn't deal with my query, would transfer, wouldn't let me cancel, wouldn't let me talk to supervisor. I swore at her, and immediately lost the argument. Not my finest hour  .  However, the number of heads that appeared about the partitions (large open plan office) like little chads, showed that I still had the ability to shock the people in the office

Yeah i agree , some people have worse empers than others.

 Ive always had a fiery temper , better now than i used to be so hopefully in a few years should be as relaxed as a valium addict. Hey , the regulars might even start to speak to me again by then, lol

Well, im 29 , when i was 18 i was an idiot, always fighting and so forth. Now, the stress of own business and 2 kids (1 of which is a right swine, lol) im calmer but still irate sometimes.

So hopefully when im 40 i should be a saint!
