Gripe thread

yep pretty much System.

I have spoken to many real estate agents and they said it isn't going to let up for months either i.e. in terms of how many people are going for places. some areas ain't so bad, but some are just nuts when you go check out the place...and also what they state in the ad, ain't what it is, which frustrates me moreso. Just stop lying ya mangy bastards

Ah, that always sucks. Honesty in advertising is so important.

Lizkins · Post by **Lizkins** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 11:33 am

i mean i know they are trying to draw you in, but saying double-sized bedrooms, when in actual fact you could just fit your bed and a bed side table and that is it, is just nuts! Who are they kidding?

man i could rant about this all day, so me thinks i should stop now.

this is doing my fucking head in.

you work your ass off sending quotes to client, praying that they'll accept and when they finally do the fucken supplier is out of stock of the product.

how the fuck am I supposed to do business?

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Thu Nov 30, 2006 1:46 pm

find another supplier, even if it's gunna cost you money for now..... the customer is more important and so is your reputation

unless of course they are the only supplier, in which case I suggest you contact the customer ASAP to try and negotiate a comparable product.

wtf, I have no idea wtf it's like to run your business.....

ignore me

l prefer "mangy", its funnier

actually, can't give myself bad karma by saying that now, as my agent is helping by putting in a good word to another agent to get place.

i think, that if you look and look and you finally find the house you want, its worth it to offer a bit more.

even ten bucks a week can put you in favour, and not break the bank...

i have done it a copule times too, or pretended to be pregnant (the third room is for da baby, oh how cute etc etc)

that works too

If you don't find the IDEAL place then sofa surf until you do. sucks to move in to a place that you don't feel is ideal.

GOTD:

Already clocked up over 40 hours of fieldwork and it is only thurs.

My neck is sunburned, my old broken bones are aching (change coming through methinks) I have blisters and cuts all over my hands, I am covered in dust and grime and toxic waste and I have to go and sit on a train and have people look at me and go "oh, a five-foot 45kg construction worker. I'm guessing she is Jackhammer operator or somesuch. She smells like ass." and I want to play poker or sit in Black Cat with a brewski or three but I don't even have enough energy to leave the office.

I cant wait for it, a few 'choice' alterations and its like a lifetime membership to the larfing factory!!

Now to a gripe.

This world.

Sitting at trafic lights and this old man, almost half bent over is struggling accros the road, and im mean S T Ruggling. the lights have changed and he isnt even a third of the way across the road.

NOT ONE PERSON standing at the lights, a massive intersection, not one motherfucker even suggests to move to help this guy.

So I jump out of the car, scream at a tram that is simply dinging at the poor old guy to stop, and help him across the road.

I hope to GOD (or similar) that if im in trouble, none of those people are anywhere near me cos they wouldnt do a DAM THING. Makes me fucking sick.

Makes you wanna cry

the shit fighting that would happen on my birthday would not be worth it. i had to calm my mum and dad down at my sisters birthday back in October, and then got calls from my mum the next day abusing me for taking sides, which i wasn't

i agree, adults????

still, at least i will prob get to spend it with just my boy and mates, which would be well super

Apple.

Sold me a fucked machine, apparently it was 'refurbished', but I suspect they knew it had issues and didnt look properly into fixing the problem before handballing it to me.

I took it in on Monday, called up last night and they still havent figured out whats wrong with, and I have a bad feeling they wont because it just randomly crashes when running multimedia apps like itunes, quicktime, and mostly cubase. Sometimes it crashes when the cpu is working hard, others its only on 10% capacity. Arrrgh...I just want a computer that works,...which you would expect for 3k.

Yeah its a G5. I'm just gutted I didnt realise earlier because it did have issues early on, apparently you can take it back within the first 14 days and they will replace it no questions asked. I've had mine for about 4 months now. I read a bit of stuff on apple discussions and it seems that some machines are just bad from the begining, and most of them seem to have the random kernel panic / freezing issues. weird.

Plead your case to the retailer in question ASAP mate. It'll do your head in otherwise and the machine should still be under warranty.
