The Big Four

Apparently not that successful, if you have to haggle about prices and browbeat employees doing their jobs.

Devil's advocate: actually, that could be how he got to be a billionaire: by haggling and negotiating and screaming until he made lots of money.

Just because he's successful, however, doesn't mean he's right or a good person, which he clearly isn't!

Dead?

Correct me if I am wrong. But in movie was it not the consultant who turned up to be the dead one?

[chainedbarista]

my reply would have been:
ME: No! I... AM.... FORSAKEN!!!

LOL!

I wonder how that legal strategy works for the blind and the near-sighted....

hmm, maybe i can get a discount if i take out my contacts and claim i'm nearly blind.

Many times, this is how they got rich. A friend in high school hated going to dinner with her father (who had a healthy 6-figure income) because he'd cause a scene and get thrown out so he wouldn't have to pay. >_<

Boo
Me: Grocery shopping and minding my own business.
Strange Lady: Walks up to me It’s ok, dear.
Me: I’m sorry?
SL: You’ll find your way home soon.
Me: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
SL: Oh, dear! You don’t know! Oh, it must have been violent!
Me: Ok….
SL: Dear, I hate to say this, but you’re dead.
Me: Wait, what?
SL: I know it’s hard to accept, but you’re dead. You’ll find your way home soon and your murderer will be swiftly punished upon his death.

Me: Ok… I guess I won't need to finish shopping for food then!

[telecom_goddess]

holy crap....yeah being told you're dead beats any other shopping shenanigan I've seen on here by far.

[Captain Trips]

The first one? The one who lied about her child being dead? Well, I have opinions on that. Many of you know that my son (yes, his name WAS Timmy!) had died around six months ago. And she tried lying about something like that just to get a fucking discount? (I have been told that some adult language on this site is okay.)

I sincerely hope that this woman gets strung up over a slow fire, and is given sulfuric acid as a lotion to sooth the burns! That way, she can truly understand about one percent (0.01) of the pain that my wife and I have been through. I really do, and I'm sorry about that - I don't wish to violate this sites rules against advocating violence. But to lie about the worst possible pain a person can know? (I speak emotionally, of course.) That is just low. And she has no idea of how she's insulting those of us who really HAVE lost our Timmy's.

Here's my grief-blog.

Apparently not THAT important.

I never said she hung up. We went back and forth like this for another twenty minutes before I just transferred the call to my boss. She was busy with someone else at the time.

And Mikkel hit it right on the nose. Oh, and Number Two did call back, but my boss took the call. She told him what he could do with his billions and billions of dollars as professionally as possible. Number Four called back to, but boss just deleted his tour package and told him to jump off a cliff (professionally, of course).

[auntiem]

Please tell me that Number Two had a cancellation fee - and that it was more than the refundable change fee.

It was always a pet peeve with me when people would say they hadn't read the cancel / change policy. I always asked if they had before making a deposit and declining insurance. Never failed, if there was a problem, they hadn't read it - even though they told me they had.

I agree with Captain Trips' punishment for that horrible "woman". People like that should have their punishment designed by the people who have suffered that kind of loss.

[Pagan]

The LieutenantSL: Dear, I hate to say this, but you’re dead.

No, no I'm not. I'm an Immortal and in the end, there can be only one! *Pulls out sword*

RG: You know, I haven’t seen your sister around lately. Every time I show up, I see her running off somewhere else.

And I think I see why....

If it wasn't, they would have booted my dumb fucking ass a long time ago.

I don't wish to violate this sites rules against advocating violence...

Wishing something upon someone is fine. This site does not condone actual violence against people, nor allow its members to do the same. Most of us have wished various kinds of torture on various idiots we've dealt with, or heard of from others here who have dealt with them. So you're fine.

[infinitemonkies]

Um, as the wife of a scientist, I can say that unless a scientist is a Nobel Prize winner, they are treated like shit by their PI/university/company, whatever they deserve.

Although even some of the scientists I know, who get treated like shit, act like this woman, and by that I mean they are total elitist jerkwads.

"Back off, man, I'm a scientist!"

[Captain Trips]

"Back off, man, I'm a scientist!"

"Are you sure you're using that thing right?"

[zzapp the witch]

OHMYGAWD the fun I would have had with the *you're dead* lady! Epic. I wish someone would come up to be and tell me I was dead. So much work I can only get done when I'm dead!

[Nurian]

The last one reminded me of this:

* Nat: Hey, Rappaport! I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: Rappaport, what happened to you? You used to be a short fat guy, and now you're a tall skinny guy.
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: Rappaport, you used to be a young guy with a beard, and now you're an old guy with a mustache.
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: Rappaport, how has this happened? You used to be a cowardly little white guy, and now you're a big imposing black guy.
* Midge: I'm not Rappaport.
* Nat: And you changed your name, too!
