– mustache party is coming up on friday…i’m excited for the good beer, and i can’t wait to shave this baby mustache off my face
– i played darts for about 7 hours last saturday night with kim and brian…i don’t think i’ve ever been so sore from such an easy sport…my knee hurt, my foot hurt and i could barely bend my arm til tuesday…stupid, stupid, stupid
– i had some of the worst customer service about a week ago…i got a replacement credit card in the mail, and i had to call to activate it…i opened it before work, and i figured it would be an automated service to activate, so i would just take care of it then…i called the number, entered some info, and was told to stay on the line for a customer service representative…”no big deal”, i thought, “they probably just want to verify some info”…man, was i ever wrong…the guy gets on the line, and immediately launches into his spiel, trying to sell me insurance for my credit card, so if i ever become disabled or lose my job, they will continue to pay the minimum payment every month…ok, a) if i ever get disabled or lose my job, i’m rolling over on those fucking credit cards and declaring bankruptcy, and b) wtf, who buys that fucking scam insurance? still, i listen politely to his pitch, and at the end he says “i’ll go ahead and get you signed up right now”…hahahaha, nice try buddy, i say “no thanks”…and he gets all offended, and is like “no? what exactly do you mean?”…ok, i know the game here, they have a script they have to read to you, and they have to try to sell you like 3 times, no problem, i’m not a complete dick, i’ll play your little fucking credity-card games, Mr. Customer Service Man…so, i reply, “no, i don’t want to sign up for that”…ok, he tries again “why would you not want to sign up for this? its completely free for the first month, plus we will give you $25 to sign up. you can cancel anytime after the first month and keep the money”…alright, that is a good try, but i piss away more than $25 a month on dewski…”no, i don’t need that”…now he gets angry “sir, what if you become disabled, or lose your job? this program will be a lifesaver”…ok, 3rd time, you are done, and now i’m getting mad…”no”, is all i reply…”sir, may i ask you what reason you have for not wanting this insurance?”…ok, he is on #4, and i’m getting mad…”no”, is all i say again…”i can’t even ask you a simple question? are you that rude?”…ok, asshole you are out of here!…”no, i do not want this product”…finally, i get through to him “ok, thanks for calling….CLICK”…bastard just hangs up on me, i hope that automated voice wasn’t lying when it said calls will be recorded for training purposes…i’d definitely like someone to listen to that dickface
