Even with a C54 boarding pass, you could ask to preboard with the little kids. That would have allowed you to board much earlier. Just FYI for future flights on Southwest.Quote:

It does. It needs an enema too. I'm glad I don't live on LI.Quote:

Show towels! I have this thing where I like to trim the towel tags off of ALL towels. I don't give a fuck whose name is on the towel but apparently my wife does. I do this in hotels also. Anyway, my wife spent some serious money on new towels and (we have separate bathrooms) I went at trimming the tags which were made to flop out so you can see the designers name when the towels are hung up. She was, and still is, pissed because she now thinks the towels have lost their "value".Attachment 481324Quote:

Thomas Randolph got it right: fooleation.
One of the dark side of social media that no one talks about annoys me... The culture of community acceptance/celebration of objectively negative traits (weight, ADHD, poor financial decisions, etc.). Its comforting to know that there is an influencer who makes videos and online community who you recognize with, but it doesnt make you any happier if the trait you all share fundamentally makes you unhappy.
Also, arthritis fucking sucks.
the phone tree when calling health insurance customer service
why the fuck do i have to spend minutes stating my member #, name, DOB & confirming for the goddamn phone computer if you are just going to ask me when I get you on the phone?
and why have the fucking phone tree at all? the reason someone is calling is that they can't solve something via the automated processes online...meaning they want to talk to a human, not get sidetracked by the phone tree trying to dissuade any human interaction
ffs
:nonono2:
Basically all customer service businesses are like this nowadays.
Guys cut them some slack, obviously their call volume was higher than normal that day.
Well, it's partially because there are far too many people who refuse to do things the efficient way and instead want their hand held. That's why first-level tech support is usually "did you follow the instructions? Is it turned on? Have you restarted it?" etc.Quote:

You're so called 'hand holding' is called customer service. Fuck the businesses that want to pay their executives way too much many and look for anything not nailed down that they can eliminate. Fuck that. The post office is both an apt point and not an apt point. I agree that certain basic criteria from your list should be met before stepping in line. However a) it's not supposed to be profitable, it's a government function that is supposed to make our lives better and b) using their website to find basic shipping cost information sucks donkey dick. They don't list the prices outright. You have to go through a series of annoying questions to get information that would be easy to publish in a table. It's a fucking visual phone tree. That doesn't make it better or easier.
Some IT consultant told them that a natural language form was better (is it more money for the company? Irrelevant!) so it had to be better right?
At least he was able to get through, eventually.Quote:

Chef's kiss is when you get that after holding 45 + minutes (LG looking squarely in your punk ass direction lol). #Lifesnotgood
I usually have the phone sitting there on speaker and I’m doing something else, and then when it makes any sort of sound that isn’t the Muzak (or whatever), I scramble to the phone and it’s happened where they hang up.
My mom was telling me that the customer service for Consumer Cellular is actually really good. I told her it needed to be since the average age of their customers is probably around 80! :)Quote:

Re: shipping rates, how do you make a table with axes for weight, dimensions, starting and ending ZIP codes, declared value and whatever the other questions on that form are? Some of the questions (like return receipt) are straight cost add-ons that would be easy enough to list separately, but most of them are more complicated and affect each other.
I suppose we should mention the "thank you for continuing to hold, we'd like to pretend we care" recordings that break into the Muzak and make you think you're about to talk to someone.Quote:
