Most Vile Woman EVER. (longish)

[reformedwaitress]

I just wonder how the early settlers managed without air conditioning for the first few centuries.

Didn't you know? It's global warming. Yeah, that's it. It never got about 60 degrees until we came along with our horrible SUVs and such.

Yeah....that's why the ice all melted and the dinosaurs died. The evil early man and his big SUVs.

Dishwasher? I just throw 'em out and go buy more!

Seriously, I've come close to recommending that before. In all fairness to this one woman, we did take about a week and a half to actually repair the unit (the dishwasher required a part that the tech legally cannot keep on his truck so it had to be ordered), but you'd have thought she had no running water. The tech said when he went back to repair the unit that there were dishes piled up everywhere. He couldn't tell if she was lazy or let them all pile up to make a point to him.

Doesn't it always seem like the ones that procreate are the ones that shouldn't be?

If she would have been mocking me over the phone, I would have ended the call right then and there. It sounds like she was not all there mentally either.

[Ackee]

Techies did well

At least they didn't fix it when they got there. I'm not sure I would still be on the phone after the first set of expletives though.
You sir, have the patience of a saint.

I have only one question. If her "babies" are old enough to live on their own why can't they call themselves?

And since when does a nose job require AC to heal? Will the new nose melt or something from heat?

I find this amusing. I live by myself, about 15 min away from my parents' house. I pay for everything with my own money, and I call the office if I need something in my apartment repaired. My dad has stepped in twice, once to basically threaten the office when they refused to replace my busted down AC, and instead kept sending a tech out to "fix" it, and a second time after I had just had surgery and was staying at the parents to recover, he noticed that the balcony door lock wasn't working while he was there feeding my kitties, and called to put the service request in.

Parents like this drive me nuts, as the kids will never grow up or learn responsibilty when they're babied their whole lives.

And the stroke comment? I woulda hung up right there. My ex-bf had a stroke at the ripe ol age of 20, and even though his short term memory wasn't worth $hit he was still far from a useless moron.

Apparently they don't call it plastic surgery for nothing.

My dad does that too, I had my car in the other day and he called them up and grilled them about every little detail and for a price breakdown.

He scared me to death because he called me and told me they pushed the car out of the shop because he threatened them, I believed it until he started laughing at me.

Back to dishwashers

...we did take about a week and a half to actually repair the unit ...but you'd have thought she had no running water. The tech said when he went back to repair the unit that there were dishes piled up everywhere. He couldn't tell if she was lazy or let them all pile up to make a point to him.

My family of 5 actually had to live without a dishwasher for over a week when I was younger - and Mom didn't believe in every meal at McDonalds. We spent time after every meal with a line of people rinsing & drying dishes for that whole time. I still remember that week, but I survived, and I'm sure they would too.

On the subject of Dishwashers....

In college, both in the dorms and in my first apartment, there was no such thing. I've dealt with many a roommate who didn't know how to wash dishes, and we had ways of dealing with them. (Top of the list was putting the dirty dishes in their bed, under the covers, followed by taking away/hiding the dishes). My biggest thing was always to rinse my dishes, even if I didn't wash them, so that when I did get around to washing them, there wasn't moldy/crusted on food still in them.

What, did she expect him to load 'em all up when he finished fixing the thing?

Will the new nose melt or something from heat?

Gee, maybe that's what happened to Michael Jackson

My family of 5 actually had to live without a dishwasher for over a week when I was younger

When my parents redid their kitchen several years ago my mom spent the whole time cooking in the living room on this electric hot plate/slow cooker-pot combo thing she has, set up on the table behind the couch, and the old microwave on the piano bench...there was a lot of soup and grilled cheese that week. Did the dishes in the bathroom sink.

When they did it back when I was in 4th grade my dad and a friend did most of the work, so we stayed at a nearby campground in our popup camper for a week. Only downside was the public bathrooms/showers, but when you're 9, who cares!

[Gawdzillers]

So her husband had a stroke and she called him a name for it?
Bitch.

The tech said when he went back to repair the unit that there were dishes piled up everywhere. He couldn't tell if she was lazy or let them all pile up to make a point to him.

About 3 months ago my toilet started over filling and leaking out of the hole for the handle. Right into the cat box. Poor Remmy. Anyway, not the point. Point is, I'm a seamstress and a design student. When I'm in mid project, my living room looks like a weaving machine suffered severe digestive pyrotechnics. My kitchen and bathroom I keep squeaky clean for many many reasons. Mostly because my neighbors attract bugs.

Again, anyway. So I called out the building tech to look at my toilet. I apologized for the mess in the living room, but he had no trouble walking through without stepping on things. The very next day I got a note on my door from the landlord about how because of recent bug epidemics I needed to keep my kitchen and bathroom clean. EXCUSE ME? So the technician ratted me out for having fabric and scissors and patterns on the carpet where I was working. I've since fixed things myself. </additional hijack>

What a horror show. At the FIRST "f-bomb" I'd have hung up on her. These people need to be given the message that they cannot be permitted to talk to us that way.

required a part that the tech legally cannot keep on his truck

what part to a dishwasher would be illegal to keep in a truck?
