Your bill is not a religous dispute

[TWOLF]

Before I left home early the other day due to illness I got a call from a customer wanting to know where her credit was. I looked all over the account and found nothing to show she was to get one. Nothing to major to find out what is going on. The customer tells me her daughter moved out of the coverage area and had to get new services with another company. Then tells me the sales office told her not to pay the billing because she was to get a credit(no note from office on this one) since she cancelled mid cycle and we charge in advance. I explained to her that we do not prorate the billing as a rule so that way in case she had used up her min she would not be charged for overage. The customer starts going off on me on how unfair this was and it was just not the Christian thing to do. People really need to watch who they are talking to because all I kept thinking was don't say it don't say your Pagan, it will only bring on an arguement. After 5 minutes of this she decides to hang up saying that she would did not approve of this and we should have done the right and Christian thing by crediting her. What I really wanted to say at this point was "Ma'am don't you know corporations are run by Satanists? Why do you think we make so much money?" Now where did I put the deal about the customer having an affair.

Sorry, easier to read that way.

That's okay, I'm still slightly medicated and not thinking about spacing and what not.

[mariamousie1]

That's pretty funny. The Christian thing to do? Where in the bible does it say "Thou shalt give people money for no good reason"?

[TWOLF]

I think it's in the part of (insert your carrier here) chapter 1 verse 10:And ye who subscibe to this most holy of services will be bestowed with credits forever more.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

That would be Matthew 5:42.

I read it just fine. Sometimes when I write my CS stories I space, sometimes I can't be bothered. I figure that people come on here to let off steam, at least I do. It is not an essay.

I have had someone re-type my story for me or point out a word that was spelled wrong.....don't know why. It's just talking crap about customers...which is great in any format!

[Bright_Star]

Thou shall NOT piss off the customer service worker who's only doing their job & who could care less if you're pagan, gothic or Christian. Can we get an Amen?.....LOL.

I dunno, but somewhere it says not to charge the children of Israel interest.

I'm the opposite to the point of being anal about it. I can read any form of writing. Believe me, being a moderator on an adult website and chat room (actually I'm now an admin ) you adapt pretty quickly to typing styles. My only complaints about anyone's typing habits is when the guy comes in to the chat andeverythinghetypesisallbunchedtogetherwithoutspa cesorpunctuation or another guy whose-space-bar-seems-to-be-broken-because-he-uses-dashes-for-spaces. At least the latter is legible.

To give you a clue about my anal-ness, I posted a blast from my past this morning. It is a long story that most likely could have been shorter had I just wrote it as I remember it, but no, not me. I have to get all the periods, commas, quotes, underlines, smileys, etc., just right, or at least what seems right to me. Then I go back and put in things that happened that I forgot on the rough, rough draft or add funny comments or name changes to make the story appealing without changing the actual events.

After I've gotten that all done to my satisfaction, I post it. Once I see it in the place where it falls on the board, I'll tweak it so that a smiley doesn't fall on the next line away from what it is emphasizing, add BBCode to make something stand out with bold, color or italics. The way I feel is that if I'm going to share a story, it might as well be as entertaining as I can make it.

That Limo story takes about 5 minutes to read. From the time I typed the first letter of the title to the time I was finally satisfied was about 3 hours. I've always written like this, even when I was in school. The only thing that would speed things up for me would be if could quit saying to myself, "Now where did the letter 'P' go?" I'm an old-school hunt and peck, one index finger at a time, have to look at the keys on every stroke typist. Still, as slow as I type, I'd like to have a penny for every stroke I've made on a key in my life.

Definitely!

Personally, I don't follow a particular faith, but if I HAD to put a name to my belief, I'd say pagan. It's the closest I've found so far. So, I just have to be very amused at people who do the religious rant thing.

I even had one lady that interspersed every sentence with "lord bless us" and "jesus save me" and "the lord provides" and.. the one that got me.. every number I gave her had the holy trinity in it, including her confirmation number for her payment. Had something like two threes and three ones or something, and when she asked my name again, even stated that (somehow) my name spelled a cross.

I was amused.

[TWOLF]

This is meant as no disrespect towards anyone, but I've found that people from the south will end the call with Jesus loves you or God Bless you. I don't know why it is.

[Jester]

I don't mind people believing in their religion, or even expressing such belief.

But someone arguing about their bill telling me it is not the Christian thing to do?
Or arguing a political point and saying this country is a Christian country?

As a non-Christian, these things irritate me in ways that most Christians just can't seem to understand. Sort of like trying to explain anti-black racism to a weathy WASP from Connecticut.....

I tried to make a comment about it to my family once, and they started telling me how badly Christians are persecuted in this country. (For reference: Aussieland.)

I just went silent. No point in trying to explain.

And back on topic:

I honestly don't know where people get this idea that it's 'unChristian' to charge for services rendered. Christ himself said that the 'worker is worthy of his support'. You see it in Matthew, 10:10.

In his letters to Timothy and to the Corinthians, Paul mentions this again. In 1 Timothy, 5:18, he says not to muzzle an ox while he is threshing, and that the worker is worthy of his reward. In Corinthians, it's in 1 Corinthians 9:9, and only mentions the ox, but if you read the surrounding passages it's clear that it's a reiteration of this concept.

[Pagan]

People really need to watch who they are talking to because all I kept thinking was don't say it don't say your Pagan, it will only bring on an arguement.

What I really wanted to say at this point was "Ma'am don't you know corporations are run by Satanists? Why do you think we make so much money?"

You have that problem, too, huh?

So that's what Bill Gates does in his off time!


And trying to chisel your way out of paying a bill is not exactly a "Christian" thing to do, either!
