Nimrods.....

[jonnyGURU]

This guy bought an OEM Athlon CPU and didn't use it until two months down the road because he was waiting for his motherboard and heat sink to come from another vendor.

He claimed it was dead. I told him that it was past the warranty period for OEM CPUs, but I'd do the exchange anyway due to the circumstance if the CPU was not damaged and still had the warranty sticker on it.

I received it and it had a chip in two of the four corners of the die so, needless to say, I didn't do the RMA and emailed the guy back. In warranty period or not, I'm not going to replace a CPU damaged by a customer.

He said that I agreed to exchange the chip despite being out of warranty and that was it. I told him that I didn't understand why he would expect a company to warranty an out of warranty CPU that had been damaged by the improper installation of a heat sink not bought from us.

Needless to say he went ballistic with an all caps email saying he was going to tell the BBB and AMD and my next of kin that I'm a horrible, horrible person...

What a crack head.

If someone sees this person on Anandtech, smack him upside the head for me. :|

God, you are such an ass...





















Customers can be gay, next time don't help them at all... Keep your ass out of the fire...

there is a small town in Minnesota called Nimrod. the population on the sign read 69 and the sign was stolen numerous times. they changed the pop to 71 and it hasn't been touched since.

Yay! JonnyGURU is back with his rants??

As for the jackass customer, you were just doing your job and the guy was out of line for going off on you like that. However, reading what the customer did, I'd feel really really frustrated myself if I did that. Ugh that sucks.

 

[vi edit]

Ask him if it would be alright to borrow his car for two months and returning it with a dent in both drivers side quarter panels. Free of charge rental of course.

behold the power of atot... try as you might to escape, this internet black hole will suck you back in

You almost have to feel bad for this idiot customer... he waits two months for some crappy vendor to get a motherboard in stock only to see the prices of all the rest of his components fall... then he breaks his now out of warranty oem cpu and has to buy another one. As Bugs would say: "what a maroon."

 

[Red Dawn]

This guy sounds as if he would do anything to cause you grief. An edit here might be in your best interest.

 

[Rent]

We all know that all caps means serious business...

You offered him way more than he ever deserved. The guy is a idiot expecting to even get the exchange in the first place.

 

[fatalbert]

damn customers

LOL!!!!

Yeah... That'll fly.

 

[Soybomb]

Hehe don't you just hate the customer somedays?

This was one of my favorites: (dial up isp tech support email)
"Will the additional lines cut down on the number of
times I am disconnected when I am on????
I would rather deal with a busy signal sometimes
rather than get disconnected about 20 times in an
hour, which happens quite frequently during peak use
times. I pay the same and my prices will go up like
everone else's, but because I am on the edge of town,
my signal or whatever is not as strong so other people
closer cut me off when they sign on!!!!! That may not
be exactly how it goes, but I am sure I am very close.
Seeing you are raising prices, and my service is not
as good as service others receive, and by the way I
only live about 2 miles from the center of the town,
maybe I should be charging you for all the time I have
to spend trying to get reconnected every time I get
cut off. My time is valuable also"

LOL its funny but its also sad, because they're serious

btw any good bike buying tips? My father wants to buy a "good" bicycle just for fun to ride around, brands pricing, anything is useful!

glad to see you back jonnyGURU

 

[Geekbabe]

Good to see you back , missed your rants, I swear some of our customers are related !

 

[IGBT]

Yea..It's amazing. Somebody can be drop dead wrong, caught lieing, stealing, or damaging goods and if they feel they are in the wright..everybody else is wrong for taking exception to their errant behavior. Typical liberalism.

 

[Viper GTS]

Listen to me, asshole, the CPU came that way out of the box!

I'll have your job for this!



Viper GTS <-- Talked to the resident GURU once & didn't see a rant about himself... That's a good thing, right?

 

[Sundog]

[Tiger]

Must be spring.

Wow. I now live about a mile off I-69. If you cruise around in the summer time, there are always signs missing at off ramps and such.
