    "Closed pending review"

    Review of what? Not annoyed enough to actually try get an answer hence the TA.

    That when I see Bon Jovi on Sunday night it won't be with Richie Sambora.

    I was only thinking of this when I got my tickets. A shame .. :(

    I know the thread you're on about Deebles...it seems like those who wanted it closed have whined and bitched about it so much, it got closed for "Review". Even the second one was subsequently closed...

    People whose names are spelled the non standard way.

    Only just started in a place and had to mail one of the D4 girls on the floor, email was first letter of first name and whole surname. First line of her email I said hi and her name and she jumps up and shouts down the office in a derisory tone "is that really how you think you spell <name>", I said "yes, that is the only way I have seen it spelled." She replies "God almighty, its spelled ****". I said "no need to get bolshie with me because your parents cant spell"

    Or lads called Marc, when you first meet them, even socially they say, "Hi I'm Mark, with a c", I always say "Cark?"

    I found the skittles! :D

    I keep seeing someone post the same "inspirational quote" pics every day about how they don't care what people think. If you have to post them every single day YA DO CARE!

    One more for the road. I’ve just seen my bf cut raw sausages with the same knife he then lobbed into the packet of butter. Reckon I’ll get about 5-7 years, might be let out on good behaviour.

    Absolutely sickening 🤮🤢


    I've had a headache since 6am this morning 😔


    Also my Skittles appear to be missing 🤔😛

    Had a recruiter(Oliver James) reach out on linkedin wondering if I had time for a quick chat about an opportunity she had, I said sure.

    Then I see a message notification on my LinkedIn tab, so I go to message to see its the same recruiter saying you may see a missed call from me and can I ring her back when I am free.

    I had my mobile on my desk about 5 inches from me and it never rang and there are 3 "missed calls" from the same number in a one minute period and its her direct dial, I never left the desk.

    I fired a message back and said I have decided not to proceed with Oliver James, please remove all my personal data from your files and dont contact me again.

    Get this the dickhead then proceeds to send me a passive aggressive email. "I am a little confused as to what happened perhaps you would enlighten me or maybe you dont want to hear about the wonderful opportunities we have", if it wasnt my linkedin she would have got a very unprofessional response.

    Really tempted to screenshot with back story and tag her company.

    Customer service agents who don’t read your query and tell you what you already know, or answer with an unintelligible phrase, something like
    'We're unable to do that as that would be a pro rata issue.'
    What do they expect back? 'ah ok, pro rata, that’s fine so, thanks for that'.

    I was walking the dogs today and a small black car was coming towards me. They were going slow as it was a road that joins a main junction, so I noticed the people in the car. What I presume was the Dad was holding a baby around a year old on his lap :eek:

    I was gobsmacked but kept walking when I heard a beep. Being the nosy culchie I am, I turned around to see what was happening and a Garda van going the other way had stopped beside them. The Garda was talking to the woman driver through the window and I was hoping they would get a fine or something but I think it was just a warning as both vehicles took off after a minute.

    As the black car drove away I noticed it had a 191 reg. Ffs if you can afford a bran new car you can afford a baby seat. No excuses.

    Everyone knows the answers are rain and 7!

    No. 42. Always 42 for all of them. :cool:



    My very big TA for today (not Vodafone-related, but let's just say I know understand why it's called Talk TO Vodafone, as opposed to Talk WITH Vodafone :rolleyes:) is that the square of coffee/toffee cake I bought at lunchtime and that I managed not to eat until now was actually quite greasy, quite non-descript, and thoroughly disappointing. What a let down.:(


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,020 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    My other TA for today is when people ask you a barrage of questions, but then don't actually wait to hear the answers. Like, do you want to know, or not?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Shemale


    When you ring a place as a customer and the automatron tellls you to type in your account number, then you finally get through to someone and they ask you for your account number.

    I have a working voice coupled with a long long history of working on the phone, to the point where i hate to use it at all.

    So when I have a question about a service or purchase I tend to email for answers, so far 100% of the responses are incorrectly responded to or im given the phone no to call!

    why have a chat/email address if customer has to call in the end?

    The phrase ''on so many levels '' and the tendency to exaggerate while being very vague .


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Rosie Rant


    Today wasn't exactly my day! The shower went f*ckety. Then, when I was rinsing bowls, I absolutely drenched the dress I was wearing and had to change. It was absolutely soaked!

    Then when I was changing my dress I was zipping up the zip on the side and accidentally caught some of my skin in the zip.

    Later, when I was shelling hard boiled eggs, I cut my thumb on a piece of egg shell. I need my bed!

    I was on holidays recently. This disgusting old man, after eating his breakfast and about to leave the breakfast room, decides to blow his nose. Spends several minutes honking away. Then piles up the used tissue on his plate before leaving.

    How disgusting are some people.
