TA that I didn't say something to her at the time. Thus will wreck my head now ಠ,_｣ಠ

I remember being with my mum years ago. It was a shop that has since closed (think it lasted a year). It was one of those interior type shops that were all the rage pre recession. Bare in mind this was in a rural town also.
My mum and I are country stock but decent and average looking ladies! We're not riff raff nor are we horsey type so I'd say your big standard customer you'd expect in a rural town where the shop was located.
Like that story, mum enquired about throws for the sofas. Picked them up, asked had they any more.
Me wan in the shop said yes but they're expensive. She then back pedalled saying something about she didn't want to infer that we'd mind them being expensive.
I was thinking in my mind, you're some dumb sales assistant (I'd actually say she was the owner probably because those small shops are usually run by the owner) to sell something you perceive as expensive and then try to dissuade customers from buying.
I can't actually remember if my mum bought them but I thought the b*tch was so rude. I'm older now, I'd probably have put her in her place if it happened today. Hehe.

I'm generally very assertive and feisty, I don't take **** from anyone but today I think I was so taken aback that I needed to process it. Incredulous in this day and age to speak to a customer like that. Funny thing is I genuinely would have bought them regardless of price.
I have insomnia and will do whatever it takes for a good night's sleep.
I just know that this will keep replaying in my mind if I don't address it.
Almost looking forward to it now ðŸ˜႒

Nothing “poncey” about a nice pair of Dubarry Admiral or Sebago Docksides, R.

Nothing exclusively “Trinity” about them either, would have been fairly common in UCD as well.

Be right back

You should go back in with 800 thread count sheets from another shop and do the whole "you work on commission" thing on her!

Big mistake, big. Huge!

Touched a nerve, Emmet?

I’ll admit I wore them at one stage. One my regrets in life.

This is actually more than a TA upon reflection. I was in Brown Thomas on my lunch break looking to buy high thread count sheets which are really expensive but I see them as an investment. Sleep is so important.
Anyway, I ask the lady do they have any sheets with 800 thread count and she looks me up and down and says "well yes but they're very expensive".
What am I, Julia Roberts?!
I was actually so shocked I just shook my head and walked off but I almost feel like going back in and asking her why she felt the need to belittle me the stupid stuck up bint ಠ,_｣ಠ

See, I'd be a total bitch, after that. I'd buy them elsewhere, go back with them still in the bag from the other shop, then ask that woman to be shown those sheets again. I'd insist if necessary. She would have to. Then, after having seen them, I'd say "Shame you didn't show these to me when I asked you the other day, I ended up buying them elsewhere. That should teach you never to judge a book by its cover - for instance, you look like a nice person". Then I'd turn around and leave.

A refund from amazon for an undelivered parcel. I checked the tracking and it said "delivery not attempted due to damaged parcel"

Reason for refund on email: customer return.

Don't know why it annoys me so much!!!

That's a really good line and rare that you'd get to use it but today, after learning it just five minutes ago, I finally get to use it

Celebrities and the people who go ga ga over them.
They say we aren't religious any more but I beg to differ: we have merely swapped Zeus, Jesus and Osiris for actors, pop stars and reality stars.
Two good examples would be the Johnny Depp and his wife thing, I heard too women going on about it for ages like it was someone on their street they were taliking about..WHO GIVES A ****!
Matt Damon in Ireland was another one: Look! It's matt Damon carring a Supervalu bag :eek::eek::eek:. He's just like us mere mortals.
Then people trying to guess what he has in his bag :mad:
Celeb culture stinks, and don't get me started on no talent twats like the Kardashiandroids, Chelsea and Essex pricks.

Reminds me of the time a stuck-up cow of a customer asked me for advice and was very quick to interrupt and ask was there no one else working to advise her... :rolleyes:

Department manager came up anyway and recommended the very same thing that I had suggested ..... Her face....

That's why I was so chuffed for Rosanna Davison and get husband this week with their baby news. Yes they're beautiful and not short of money but unlike the fame wh*res on social media, they're actually very down to earth people. She spoke so honestly about their journey to parenthood and the heartache of 14 miscarriages. Now they're pregnant with twins after using a surrogate for their first baby.
Take at look at the Instagram pages of former Love Island 'celebrities'. I follow a few just to enjoy cringing at them. Posting videos of lip pouting, ass twerking, hair flicking etc etc. Shallow cretins.

The office bragger

Hours in the office are long for me the past few months, 10-11 hour days with 30 minute lunch breaks but I get overtime so all ok. I am glad to be working of course and every minute I work is logged.

A senior manager was hired in a temporary contract for a few weeks to help write procedures. He is leaving next week to take up a new job. He was to be with us 3-4 weeks at most on a temporary contract.

My TA is the bragging
- Travelled the world, telling me about 5 star hotels and business class flights
- Buddies with Sheiks and Arab royal families.
- Has the ability to get Formula One drivers into Bahrain nightclubs
- Met Diego Maradona, chatted up Beyonce and other celebrities
- Drove the Sheiks personal cars like a Buggati at close to 400km per hour
- Billionaires begging him to spend weekends on yachts
- Earning 300k a year in a PAYE job last year he tells me but you are a temp contract in our lowly office

Now the guy is senior like head of department level and no doubt is on good money. I also believe he did indeed do a lot of travelling but this level of bragging is ridiculous and only intends to big himself up and make the listener feel like a loser

If I said NASA was sending me to the moon I think he would tell me he would be the 1st man on Mars

American food blogs. You go and search for a recipe, and click on a link to visit a site. There you get their life story; how they discovered the recipe, and what they want their kids to do in college. Finally you scroll down through 20000 words to get to the recipe, and discover they are using the preposterous imperial and cup system.

Grinds my gears.
