Miscellaneous Rants (part IV! tee hee hee... oh no, part VI)

^ Hey unsq, Did you ever play Sim City 2000? Mr Samadhi & I became obsessed with it, he rocked the Kasbah at that simulation. We filled up the city with arcologies (the good ones), fire/police/ambulance and then all of a sudden we discovered the "Secret of Sim Earth". All the arcologies became rockets and took off to find life on other planets and $56 million dollars was dumped in our bank!

I felt excitement that was totally disproportionate to what we were doing. :D
 
Fucking Telstra customer "service" arseholes!!!!


Here's me, ringing up to get a line connected, so I can get Naked ADSL2+ (I connect the line, my ISP connects my net, then disconnects the phoneline).

But this arsehole is having none of that. Tries telling me that my ISP will be shafting me and there are plenty of ISP's (shock horror, BigPond) that don't charge fees like that and don't have any hidden charges. All I wanted was a line connected, but he decided he had to lecture me on economics. Telling me I'm stupid for going through someone else and not BigPond.

I tell him, "Look, I don't want BigPond, I want my ISP, since they offer 72gigs a month of ADSL2+."
Him "Oh, but BigPond is unlimited downloads with no other charges."
So I'm looking at it, and who'd have thunk it, they actually charge 15 fucking cents a MB after 12gigs.
Him: "Oh, no. You can get a special deal where we don't charge you for that. Instead we just slow it down slightly." (Yeah from 24,000Kps to 64kps)

So he wants me to pay $70 a month for 12 gigs. Or I can go to exetel and get 72gigs a month for $85.

So I told him to fuck off and connect my phone. He did and we hung up on each other.

If I thought it would do any good, I'd complain. Fucking cunts.
 
I seriously hate Telstra ^ Thats sucks bigtime. When I ring Optus I always give the Indian call centre workers shit about us winning the criket =D

I can't get ADSL2 here, but I wouldnt use it. I guess it would be handy if you were downloading huge files like movies.
 
I hate Telstra too, they are heavy handed arseholes with no idea of customer service,

Exetel rocks, good deals and if you can't sleep, you get even more download off peak.
 
I really hate it when you get to the supermarket check out and you load all your items onto the conveyer in the order you would like them bagged, then the checkout person takes items from all over the place and does stupid things like load heavy non-food items on top of tomatoes.

Ugh.

Yes, I'm so with you on this. I'm actually really particular about loading the food onto the conveyor belt - heavy non food items, light non food items, heavy non-perishable food (cans, jars, etc), dairy, meat, fruit/veg, bread and eggs. I can't stand when my fruit/veg & bread gets squashed.
 
Samadhi and Kat, I am on your band wagon on this, my gf takes the piss out of me for the way I load the cold stuff together, the fruit and veg together, cleaning products, well you get the picture. Then the check out chick decides you have it all wrong. I mean how long do you need to have been shopping to see them make the same mistakes all the time, bloody hell, I don't want my bread with an imprint of a jar in it, der . . . .
 
Funny story - some friends went to Fraser Island for a holiday, and each night they would take turns cooking. One of the guys decided to make chicken schnizel for dinner, grabed the breadcrumbs, flour, egg, etc and then fried them. A couple of people commented on the smell of the meat cooking - it was odd, but noone said much else, and they all ate dinner. Within a few hours, everyone that ate the food was violently ill.

After some investigating, it was found that the guy had grabbed a container filled with washing powder, thinking it was flour.... this raises a couple of questions for me:

A) Would you not smell that lemony-freshness when you opened the container?
B) Would the rest of them not have tasted the lemony-freshness when eating the Omo Schnitzel?

:\
 
OMG, at least the meat would have been clean?!?!?

Wouldn't it have got all suddy when cooked?????
 
I cant believe how he could not have picked up his error after noticing the texture and consistency of the washing powder.

I doubt it would have sudded when it was heated, it most likely would of turned into a glue crytsal substance

Also, after the first bite there would have been grounds for concern. Even more sudden would be the smell
 
I once put Kerosene in the batter in my car, thinking it was distilled water.
Shit like that happens. :\
 
You know, I am seriously sick of some people with their 'woe is me' attitude and their attention seeking status updates/blogs/posts. Seriously. Stop it! No one wants to be friends with a sulky whinger. There is only so much support you can offer before you get tired of listening to the rants! Man up and stop being so passive aggressive.




God I have missed this thread
 
Tight ass landlords. Lets see - no insulation in our roof so during Sydney's heat wave in last couple of weeks we have fried at home.
The steps going into the building - tiled and no slip grip and no hand rail. I took a tumble on them when it was wet and they still haven't fixed them. Guess they're waiting for someone to die on them first.

Thank God we are moving.
