Nah, these are live agents. Usually they go through a few different people before they get to me, which means they have to lie or talk a good game to not get filtered out. Wastes so much damn time….
focus.

Ha, their doing it wrong. I'd cold call the guy high enough on ladder to have a secretary.
Sec: Hello, Mr. Verybig's office, this is Molly.
Me: Hi Molly, actually you are the person I really wanted to speak with. I'm Wooley12 and wonder if you could help me? Whom should I call to speak with that would be in charge of rewarding your salespeople with a travel mug or custom gold ring?
Sec: Sure, I love to help people and you made me feel important. That would be Ms. Notasbig at 555-555-0002
So I call and leave a message on Ms. Notasbig's voice mail.
Hi, I'm Wolley12 and Mr Verybig's office told me that you would be the person to talk to about travel mugs and gold rings for your top salespeople.

I've sold lots of other stuff. From classic sportswear for the Rubenesque figured women and camera straps to Kodak. Sold the Bills their XXV Superbowl losers ring. My final sale before hanging it up was tee shirts ordered by a mountain guide while he was climbing Mt Rainier.

At least that's what he told said secretaries. Remember, this is back in nineteen dickety-two when such things were considered acceptable office culture.

Anybody else catch how just about every major corporation out there has changed their logos to be all rainbow during Pride Month? Yeah, that's fine. I really don't care about that. But what's NOT cool is how they conveniently left their logos alone in the Middle East and elsewhere. My point being that if they TRULY cared about the LBGT cause, they'd leave it as is EVERYWHERE, and if those countries have a problem (which they will), then said corporations should have the balls to tell those countries to go fuck off. Ain't happening, which proves their compassion is 100% phony, and that's what I find annoying. Especially since they're bombarding us with how rad they are for supporting the cause all over commercials, LinkedIn posts, Twatter, etc. They are SO nauseatingly sanctimonious about it in their art-piece short film commercials. Walk the walk, guys!

yeah, this x100. all the corporate rainbow-washing is such a thinly veiled cash grab, especially when you look at many of these companies' continued donations to anti-LGBT+ politicians and causes. the duplicity is astounding.

you would have liked my Uncle Marty. He sold everything that could be sold. Barrels of eye glass frames. Cheap cookware sets--he'd go into a bar or gas station and sell his "last samples" of $250 cookware sets for $25 which was a fair price. Lalique in his prosperous days. He eventually did very well cold calling machine shops and selling machine tools. At the time all machine tools were sold in person. He eventually had a boiler room full of guys selling--totally legit.

I think the dude infront of me at the drive up banking is taking out a loan. JFC. He's sent the carrier back and forth 3 times so far. Lobby is open now too.

If he is taking out a loan I hope you aren't planning to withdraw cash, because those machines only hold so much.
I ordered a bathrobe today from Amazon. It shipped and they charged my card the next day. It's suppose to arrive by July 22. From China. Not just made in China, shipped from China. The fact that there were identical robes being sold on Amazon by a bunch of different companies with weird names and spectacular reviews in odd English should have been a clue. I guess I figured Amazon kept it in stock here. Anyway, maybe it will show up by July22, although they didn't specify the year.Last edited by old goat; 06-15-2021 at 09:35 PM.

My lab was going crazy this am….go downstairs and the neighbors dog (mini mutt) is on our front porch (right at the front door)…..taking a crap.
Not sure what we all did to him…..but that was a statement shit……a direct attack on our sovereign household.
Hopefully my lab is planning her revenge….
That was literally a “shit that annoys me”.

Why are you in the drive through? It’s almost always faster to use the atm or go inside. Plus you’re not wasting gas.

In normal times, waiting for it to come from China wouldn't be a problem--it's a bathrobe, not a heart valve--but these aren't normal times. But maybe it will show up this summer. I'm sure they can find space in a shipping container for one bathrobe.
As far as your butt--post pics and let us decide. With the shorts on please.

Customer service phone lines at banks. Jebus, when did they get so shitty? Please hold, let me transfer you, I can’t do that here but this other number can, your wait time is over ten minutes (repeated for 45 minutes). The nearest branch is 1500 miles away, so I have no option but to call. I’ve been a customer of theirs for almost 30 years; I expect concierge service with a bow on it.
