Imaginary complaint

They also seem to think that the media won't do any fact-checking about this sort of thing.

Now I'm pondering what life is like for a consumer-affairs type reporters. The crackpots they must encounter...

Probably the same reason they call (or threaten to call) the police--some seem to think the media will gladly act as their personal bullies.

Why sucky customers think that their story is news worthy... I do not get.

[taxguykarl]

Why isn't that a surprise?

Update: Nothing, nada, zero. XD Well, cept that one of my co-workers has a mate who works on the local paper and apparently this woman did try and sell her story. But no-one was interested; her "story" ended up being filed straight into the bin, and everyone in the office had a good laugh.

[BroSCFischer]

Zero is a number, and, to her, that's somehow enough.

Well if you want to get technical, zero actually isn't a number, it's a "place holder".

At least that's what my chem teachers and professor taught me.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Lol, could be any of those. xD Anyway, we've heard nothing back... so far.

Nah, she asked the nearest customers to help her, and then wouldn't believe them when they said they didn't work there.

[Pixilated]

This is the kind of person that reporters tell, "Yes, ma'am, that's very interesting. We'll let you know if we decide to do a story on it." Then they "lose" her phone number.

Then after she's safely out the door, they tell all their coworkers about the loony who just came in and everybody has a good laugh.

Seriously, no paper worth anything will even consider that to be newsworthy. You don't like the help (or non-help) you got at a specific business? Don't go back.

[Seshat]

OR the 'refusal' came in the form of "Certainly, ma'am. Just let me finish ringing up this customer, then I'll be out."

[EricKei]

Well sure... every single person that she encountered working there -- which equals ZERO workers -- refused to help her. Zero is a number, and, to her, that's somehow enough.

I get the feeling that when the guy manning the metro desk looks at the caller ID and sees HER number come up, he can only think, "Her again? Why me!" while reaching for that bottle of scotch squirreled away in the bottom drawer.

She sounds senile. Or she might be mixing u guys up with someone else.
