What Stpid Thing Have You Done Today? - Page 41

Noooooo!

I was out of the office for a bit yesterday, when one of my co-workers dropped off a box of See's candy in the break room. I'm taking the real deal picked up at a See's store not that packaged months ago crap we normally get here on the bitter east coast and these local heathens ate it all before I returned.

Oh, no!!!!

Fortunately, See's chocolate isn't all that good so you didn't miss much.

Not something stupid I did - something stupid a Time Warner Cable customer service agent did...they entered a chat with my mother.

My mother sent me the transcript. I've witnessed many an encounter between my mother and customer service over the phone. She's skilled, but she's not subtle, her most effective tactic is brute force. And while she's far more tech savvy than the average retiree, she doesn't spend a lot of time communicating via chat, so her etiquette and understanding of the medium is lacking.

What she sent is about the most unhinged I've seen her. Yikes. Within 2 exchanges she escalated to "Spare me your platitudes!" And she thinks she looks like the hero.

I've gone out with my shirt on backwards.

Hanging out bottomless at work in the stall with room for others seems somewhat counterintuitive.

Been counting down the days until Gally registration, but I did not hop online the instant it opened up. Long story short, it sold out in 75 minutes, without me.

...and they apparently get very snippy when it is suggested that maybe a bigger event might be a good thing. Snippy as in "go start your own... good luck!"

That's based on what I saw on their Facebook page.
