wmw999 2,589 #1 August 5, 2003 Just venting. I'm trying to arrange tickets to Brazil for myself and my father, on slightly different routes. Realizing that time is money, I called 2 weeks ago. One time, the ticket lady sent back an email with some sample information; the email with the actual ticket information was delayed in my email (site problem -- there were a number of others, too), so I missed out. Did she email me again for confirmation? Nope. So when I figured out what had happened (i.e. when I got 5 week-old messages), I emailed again, wanting to make reservations again. I gave her my phone number, and asked her to follow up. I called her, to make sure she'd call. Did she? fuck no. I still haven't gotten the email she says she sent. I called back, and left a message, but hey -- why respond? Why do I still deal with them? Well, they do the most business with Brazil. Hands down. So they are the most likely to have the best prices with decent flights. While I'd pay a little more just not to deal with her, it looks like about $200 per ticket would be the penalty. That's a bit much... so anyway, I'm pissed. Because yet again, I have to call her, at her convenience, until she deigns to let me give her my business.

freeflir29 0 #3 August 5, 2003 Is there only one person at this place to deal with? I always just go with something my sister said once. "Ya know.....most people are stupid." It took me several years to think about the fact that when someone with a 155 IQ says this.....they are certainly speaking the truth. According to them......but it seems to hold up well in daily life for me too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca 0 #7 August 5, 2003 This is one of my greatest pet-peeves. I was leaving a restaurant today, and the lady in front of me, after glancing our direction when speaking with her friend, let the door slam back on me right as I got to the threshold. I enjoyed a brief fantasy of grabbing her by her neat little librarian bun, screaming in her face about what a rude bitch she is, and then beating her into next week... Yes, I may have rage issues, but it made me feel better. Chin up Wendy. Be saccarine-sweet, ask to speak to her superviser, and then get her fired if at all possible. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

askir 0 #16 August 6, 2003 I was pushing a cart at Ikea today and passed behind a woman about 2 to 3 feet behind her and she says "Some people never say Excuse me" I had had a bad day with two screaming babies, a stupid banker, two rig manufacturers who screwed up an order and UPS loosing a shipment, so I was not in the best of moods. I backed up and said in my loud voice "you had 3 feet, you need more? or were you backing up, if so it should be you saying excuse me, besides did you ever think may be the person behind you was mute and couldn't say shit!, I bet you are hoping that was the case now (I was yelling at the top of my lungs) or am I supposed to make room for your Aura?...but if it pleases you: EXCUSE THE FUCK OUT OF ME....BITCH!!! Her face was red and her eyes had tears...Normally I am not mean but boy she was the last drop of my bad day and paid for it. With my luck I'll see her at church on Sunday! Ahhhhhh that felt good, went home hugged my kids and was glad to have yelled at her and NOT my little ones (I never do) her Shepherd would tear my face of if I did anyway. LIFE IS LIKE A CIGARETTE, YOU CAN SIT THERE AND WATCH IT BURN AWAY OR YOU CAN SMOKE THAT BITCH TO THE FILTER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #17 August 6, 2003 Oh no... I hope that was not the same person (off Gessner) that my friend delt with when going to Greece. My friend is quiet but reached a point whereby her little face was all purple. I went there playing her Mom. (I am not that old, but I can pass) Anyway, I blasted that lady into the middle of next week. My friend had prepaid and had done everything she was supposed to. There were still no tickets and not much time to spare. My friend had left several messages, phone calls and then got no answer and then she was told the lady was not in the office, those kind of things. I thought it was a scam for sure. Later we had a lawyer (friend) deal with it and she got her tickets. But that is all. The lady was just mad at US, No gee I am sorry, kiss my foot or anything. I went with my friend to pick up the tickets so I could get the first blow in, but it did not come to that. All we wanted were the freaking tickets. Of all things, she was attending a young christian group outing. I guess I did my part, from where I sit I kept her from taking the Lord's name in vain. ~AirAnn~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
