Bad day at work. Gonna kill someone soon. Arr. *RANT ALERT*

[amnesiac]

I am seriously wishing I had the telekinetic power they had in Scanners so I can blow someone up into paste.

I work in the Brentwood Cheesecake Factory (in the bakery).

- I get to work at 5 to find out that the guy I'm working with today had broken his arm playing basketball. So that leaves me to close the store alone. Dork.

- The customers today displayed an unusual amount of stupidity. Let me list some things:
* Decaf Espresso shots. WTF is the deal with that? The point of espresso is the caffeine, dumba$$.
* Some bizzatch returned her cake b/c it had whipped cream on it. "I can't have ANY whipped cream on my dessert whatsoever!" What, are you SELECTIVELY LACTOSE INTOLERANT you stupid bint? There's like 10 times as much fat and cream in the cake as there is in the whipped cream...??? I don't get it. :|

Good thing I'm not a waiter. I would probably have put a fork in someone's eye.

So at 3am I'm finally on my way home on the freeway in the empty #3 lane going exactly the speed limit (no desire to get pulled over!!) and I notice some motard is awfully close to my rear bumper.

There are NO cars to the right, left, or front. He's tailgating me for no apparent reason so I slam on my brakes. Apparently this pisses him off and he tries to get next to me to flick me off or something. Why this little drunken freak in a 3-series BMW wants to mess with a VERY pissed off guy in a big truck is beyond me. I am soooooooooo tempted to pull over and make him familiar with my fist. Instead I just start to exit the freeway and when he does I pull back onto the freeway. Hehe.

Sorry I just had to rant SOMEWHERE and this seems like the perfect place. Coming home to my happy cat and a glass of merlot helps too.

G'night y'all!!

LMAO - way to vent man!!!

 

[loogie]

wtf is &quot;Arr?&quot; Everyone knows that when you say &quot;arr,&quot; it must be followed by matey. Its in the pirate handbook.

And as a voice of reason, since everyone else is applauding your bitching, shut the f$#@ up, you whiny bitch.

loogie grabs his fork

Wrong. I do tech support for a rather large ISP and I know more about ignorant customers than the law should allow.


Them: My printer stopped working.
Me: What did you printer company say?
Them: I didn't call them. It is a long distance call.
Me: I'm sorry about that but they are the ones who need to help you on thus.
Them: Well I will just call you back later and try to get a tech who can help me.
Me: There is no one here who can help you. You need to call your printer manufacturer.
Them: No, if I keep calling back someone there will know what they are doing and be nice and help me unlike you. *click*
Me: :Q

oh man, that is sooooo true... the other night, a lady tried to return a package of cheese that had the date February 2nd... WITHOUT a receipt... then she got REALLY pissed off when we wouldnt take it back... retards...

 

[loogie]

Bah, no luck today. I must search for better bait.

Ah, the American Idiocy! All of us are always too lazy to think of wiping the whipped cream off with a napkin, or a knife and then wiping it on our plates...

I used to wait tables, had to deal with people like that all day. &quot;I'll have the fettuccini alfredo and a diet coke.&quot;

 

[amnesiac]

I don't see anything wrong with that.. I personally think normal Coke is too sweet unless I really need a sugar high.. like now.. woo. Got to sleep around 5. Coworker called me up at 7 asking if I could take her shift. SHYEAH RIGHT.

Loogie- Your eye is the next target for MY fork.

 

[Croton]

hahahha
someone wanted a decaf espresso shot?!? WTF?

and the whipped cream inicident is so moronic!

i go to that cheesecake alot...

anyways, have a better day and don't put any 'special sauce' in the cheesecakes!!!!!

 

[ddiccico]

<< The point of espresso is the caffeine, dumba$$ >>

ok, time to address the espresso thing. I drink tons of espresso, and I can say it's not about the caffeine (in fact espresso has less caffeine than brewed coffee or tea). I've tried decaf, and though they don't have as much flavor as regular espresso, they are not too bad.

I worked with a guy when i was doing tech support, he had a conversation like this, troubleshooting an LPT port:

Him: &quot;We have to do some tests to make sure your computer can see the printer.&quot;
Cust: &quot;Oh, the computer can see it fine.&quot;
Him: &quot;How do you know this?&quot;
Cust: &quot;Well, it's looking right at it.&quot;
Him: &quot;What do you mean?&quot;
Cust: &quot;The monitor is already facing the printer, it still doesn't work.&quot;

 

[KameLeon]

ROFL @ Zach!!! :Q
I hope you made that up...

 

[guyver01]

i got y'all beat...
I was given a customer callback yesterday.. Lady was having trouble getting online... was cursing at us that it's our fault she can't get online.. her internet doesnt work.. yadda yadda..

So i called her and about 2 minutes into the call, checking WINIPCFG and NETWORK and determining that the PC isn't seeing the NIC card..

Me: Your PC isn't seeing the NIC card..
Her: I dunno why..
Me: What kind is it.
Her: How am i supposed to know... oh wait.. i have the box here.. Blah Blah PCI 10/100...
Me: OK.. when you put it into your computer, what color was the slot, if you remember..
Her: I haven't yet.
Me: I'm sorry, haven't what yet?
Her: I didn't take it out of the box and put it in yet, I didn't know what to do..
Me: STUPID BYACH!!! (not really... but i wanted to!!)

:disgust: :|

 

[Zach]

As far as I know it was true.. but everything's questionable when you are dealing with lore of the cubicle sea.. I had people like that sometimes though. Never that entertaining...
