Fire away...let's hear it!
I'll bite. A couple of weeks ago I ordered 7 Dell pc's and 7 Dell 20" monitors for resale to a current customer of ours, the US Military Academy at West Point. The pc's showed up here fine but the monitors went missing. I tracked the shipment from FedEx and they showed they had been delivered. Not finding them anywhere in the office, I checked the recipient signature which showed an unknown (to me) name. After calling FedEx, it was determined that they were mis-delivered to another company here in the building. So, I walk over to the other company where it turns out the receptionist was the one who signed for the 7 packages. She walks me down to their IT person who informs me that he had already distributed all 7 monitors to workers within the company. Aarrrgghh! He then tells me he thinks the boxes are still around and he can box them up and get them back to me. My response was, no, that doesn't work. We are re-selling these monitors and the USMA is very strict on the boxes being delivered having not been opened before and must have the original Dell packing tape intact. I remained calm but, questioned why nobody had read the labels on the boxes or looked at the packing slip. His reply was they get so much hardware in that it wasn't questioned. After that, I had to speak with the president of the company to resolve the issue. This is a 10million dollar a year company. I'm sure she wasn't happy having to deal with the issue. We finally resolved that they would order the same model of monitor and have them drop-shipped to my customer. When she brought up any price differences, I said, "Whoa! I don't care if they cost you double what I paid. That's not my concern. My customer just needs the same model monitor that they ordered. I've already paid Dell". Again, I was calm and polite but, pointed out that they really should read the delivery labels and packing slips. Still, I was pissed at this company and FedEx! Guuurrrr!
Yikes Steve! What a joke! :facepalm1: :lol8:
I bought the new hero that came out today, Zyra. Then I had to buy some new runes to finish out my AP stats. Ended up spending 18,000 points. Emptied my bank. Been playing all day at work and haven't won a single game. :cry1:

Obama is in town this afternoon "politickin'" (as my Dad used to say) and traffic is snarled like a SOB! :angryfire:
Firecrackers again tonight........ :facepalm:
Driving to Boise, Idaho today -- every bridge was under construction after we crossed into Idaho, and every bridge in Utah made my truck + 5th wheel catch air and damned near change lanes.
About 80 miles before Boise, we ran into a "Oversized Load" truck that took up both lanes of US84 and we were down to 40mph for quite some time. Finally found an exit to hit a Flying-J for fuel and ice cream cones, but 30 minutes later, found ourselves behind that same damend "Oversized Load" again.
Finally arrived in Boise, but had a KOA reservation in Meridian. Even though it was 7pm, we hit EVERY LIGHT coming into town. My transmission temp was approaching 225F, and the outside temps were above 100F (while they were only in the 80's in SLC).
Get to within 2 miles of the KOA, then suddenly, its 4 lane roads, but the navigation system takes a SHIT. We have to backtrack at least 4 times to find the correct route along a 1way road into the campground. Get to the campground, only to find that mine (and every other RV in the area) sits very HIGH on the LEFT (drivers side), so we need to level before we can disconnect. By now, its easily 105F outside, I'm tired, pissed and have had enough direct sunlight int the face.
We get the 5'er setup, disconnect the truck, then immediately set out for dinner. I search for a nearby Texas Roadhouse (its' 9minutes away.. but in Boise roads = 30 minutes away). We get there, to discover that the parking lots are designed for SMART cars ( and I have a huge Dodge dually). We go in, place our orders, when suddenly a group of ~8 high-and-tight wanna-be's walk by my table at least 5 times. I think they saw the military stickers on my truck and believe they wanted to "introduce" themselves, but didn't.
Get back to the 5'er after dinner, to discover that our AC + water heater blew the fuse, so inside the 5'er, its still a toasty 98F.
..still sweating the balls off typing this!
Damn Brute! :lol8:

How about spam texters? How do you get rid of them? We put our phone on the no call list, but text are still coming in. We have a minimal plan and get charged for texts.

The multiple people who got into my lane at the gym while I was swimming laps to do "water aerobics" thinking they could push me out of the pool because they had a class that started in 20 minutes.. And those same people for getting pissed off when I asked them to either "swim laps or get the.... out of my lane" :angryfire:

The police officer at the light 'directing' traffic who saw him do it and did nothing about it (so it continued) pissed me off too....
^^^Sometimes I just wanna kick big fat truckers right in their diabetes.
He was driving a Dodge. What do you expect?
Oh $hite...Ice is gonna throw you under the bus for that comment :lol8:Quote:

Before noticing the "diesel" part, I would have guessed that it was Ice.:lol8: His Dodge is even red. Doesn't it sound like something that he would do? After all, Ice does have fun by going into the store and trying on all the underwear before putting it back in the package. :haha:Quote:

Jdgibney, are you sure it was a diesel rather than a Hemi?
(PS, this is all in good fun; I am friends with Ice).
not positive, just going by the sound (sounded just like my ol' diesel pickup), too angry to find out for sure:angryfire:Quote:

I didn't get a ticket or anything else, cop just told me to knock it off. After that I'm under the impression that's it's not exactly against the law because they are just a safety measure to help direct traffic and are designed to be hit.... unless the cop wanted to be a real asshat and try and ticket you for exhibition driving or something....
i HATE THAT i FORGOT TO TURN OFF CAPS LOCK.
aND i RESENT HAVING TO "GO ADVANCED" EVERY TIME i WANNA POST PIX. :twisted:
I get if you're trying to get into a lane, but this gumdrop was already in our lane, I don't get too mad by idiots driving, but I wanted to introduce his teeth to the pavement.Quote:

So yesterday I went to the AT&T wireless store at the City Creek center looking for Iphones. Here's how it went down:
I walk in, and was casually approached by some young kid looking put out that he had to do his job. All of his dialogue was delivered in a monotone voice, and very curt.
Him:"can i help u?"
Me: "Ya I'm looking for iPhones"
He nods in the direction of some corner of the room "They're over there" (He almost sounded like he wanted to say they're right f***in' there!)
Me: "can u tell me about them?"
Him: "well they're smartphones so it's like having a computer"
I stare blankly expecting more.
Me: "Alrighty then....thanks, I think" And I leave.
Today I went to the Verizon wireless store in the Gateway. I was approached immediately by some sweaty, panting fatty. "Can I help you?"
Me:"Ya I'm lookin for iPhones."
He leads me over to the iPhone display and asks for my name, which he jots down on a clipboard.
Him:"Ok, just give me a minute, and I'll be right back to help you."
I stand there and wait as he walks behind the counter and starts restocking an enormous rack of smartphone screen covers. After his restocking duties, he begins helping some other guy who just walked in the door. After 15 minutes of this nonsense I turned and walked out.
Geez, getting a smartphone is like sourcing drugs...you ask around and everyone just shrugs and plays stupid. :fitz:
