Offline Thoughtless, inconsiderate waitresses.
The other night, after an otherwise enjoyable dinner out, Zag & I were ready to leave. Our waitress took our bill along with my credit card and proceeded to stop at the bar for a chat with someone she used to live near. “Oh hi Fred! I thought you looked familiar the first fifty f*****g times I walked by you tonight while I wasn’t waving someone else’s credit card around in the air in excitement. Tell me, as I irresponsibly flash this guy’s plastic around the room, do you still have that dog? Do you still stay in touch with Doris? Me? Oh, ya know, real busy here at the restaurant not giving a s**t about anyone’s private information and not really giving a flying f**k about who wants to get going – ya know, the usual.”
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Stretching the text so it’s bigger makes the site do crazy things.

That’s so 20th century Anna! They changed the beginning of the Star Trek opening, ‘ to boldly go legend’ eons ago……..It’s ‘his’story!!
Anyway there’s nothing (much) kind about man.

I hate when people seem to expect me to be a master at working technology. Like, I’m horrible at it, I may be online lots, but I still can’t go onto Microsoft Word once without deleting my draft and having to restart once or twice. I just hate how some people bloody expect you to be a master at technology

When PC police were going insane with their rules there was talk that history would be replaced as the term was felt to be too man-orientated.
Christmas was changed to Winter Festival so not to upset any Muslim etc. The large majority didn’t care and was more the fear of possibly offending someone that drove the change by those in charge. Idiots.

Offline Pushing us all onto a cashless payment system in the future. Apart from the USA’s security agencies wanting to keep track of every movement we make and every cent we spend:
- Faulty ATMs which are either broken, or dispense the wrong amount of money, or eat your card (and the bank then makes you pay for a replacement), or all three
- Broken online banking systems which say they made a payment then send an email saying MAYBE they didn’t then throw up random error messages when you try to check
- Hacked credit card and banking systems
- mmm’s complaint of people in lines at the supermarket trying to use 5 cards which are all over their limit or they forgot the passwords on them (which we are not allowed to write down and keep on us in case they get stolen – even though we now have dozens of increasingly complex passwords to try and remember)
- Some random automated regular transactions showing up on your card and you spend the next year and a half trying to stop them
- Charging a surcharge to use the miserable cards they are all forcing us onto
- People scanning your credit cards remotely to steal your id and/or credit card details
And yes, most of these have happened to me in the last year or so. And yes, there are more points I could make but I don’t want to get too cranky – feel free to add more.
Of course, the powers that be say everything works fine – don’t worry. Sure, but the fine print often says the user, by ‘agreeing’ to use this crap, is liable for part of the loss if anything goes wrong.
Makes me want to move to bartering! 🙂

Offline Cashlines that are out of order, especially on a sunday when you’re totally screwed as no bank is open to help you. And their customer service helplines that make you wait for 15 minutes only to be put thru to someone with the intelligence of a dopey chickpea who’s the dimwitted one in his family and doesnt give a crap about your situation and has no idea how to be of any help of note yet thinks he/she is is being useful by having a long chat to you.
And why is it that they have a prerecorded message saying they are experiencing an unexpectedly high number of calls. Surely if you knew the problem would arise to the extent of recording a message you could have hired more staff to at least help deal with the queues.

Aren’t your banks in enough trouble that they don’t need the added expense of more people answering their calls? Maybe they should have added that as a condition to the bank rescue!

It’s across industries. No one really cares about providing good customer service consistently, it costs too much.

Because you can only hire so many people.
Or you could provide a decent service to begin with so you don’t need so many customer support staff.
But then most large firms in world markets operate in virtual cartel or oligopoly conditions so they don’t need to care either way.
