When you call a customer service telephone number to deal with some account or order and ask to speak with a customer service representative, they often ask you, before connecting, to enter your account or order number, and then maybe some additional identifying information, like your DOB, your ZIP code, or the last four digits of you social. Presumably, this is so when the call is bounced to the representative, s/he will have your information ready to go on the screen in front of you.

But I would say 9/10 times, the representative then asks you to to repeat all the information you just got done entering. FUCK

When you order a Papa Johns with two or three other people and one guy just grabs a pepperoncini right out of the gate.

When at a buffet and people get multiple plates of crab legs. Then somebody gets nothing, due to their avarice. You fucking get one helping and let everyone have some. Then you go back for round 2 or 3...

come again

Didn't think I would need to explain further but here goes. Let's say your out at a Chinese buffet and they just put out a fresh pot of crab legs. Some asshole always gets two or three plates of it and leaves little for the next guy. Naturally, after four or five people abuse the all-you-can-eat privilege, a lot of people then have to wait for the next batch of crab legs to come out. Well, you're not just going to sit at your table and wait for them to come. You get a lesser food, like General Tso's Chicken, and then forget about the crab legs until your full. It should never get to that point if we all just took a little and didn't shaft anyone. This is something I've experienced four or five times over the course of my life. Never ceases to frustrate me.

I was confused too because I thought you meant 3 people from a table got crab legs and the fourth took nothing to be greedy.

by **Houshphandzadeh** » Fri Jan 21, 2011 19:59:31

ahhhhh

I thought you were talking about people in the same group. So one person got lots of crab legs but the next person was greedy so they didn't get any. Was thinking maybe crab legs were a surcharge or I don't fucking know

Words in the hotties thread.

And names of hotties in the random thoughts thread with no pictures.

When you're texting w/ someone, and they just stop and don't respond for the next 4 hours w/ a reason. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it's fucking rude.

Real life eqiivalent of just hanging up on someone.

I thought the whole point of text messaging was that they could be answered at leisure.

by **meatball** » Sun Jan 30, 2011 20:54:39

Yeah. Most of my longer conversations via text are interrupted. Life gets in the way. If you don't want interruptions, talk on the phone.

My hatred of "literally" has reached critical mass

I was thinking of saying "figuratively" all the time to the people who overuse "literally" just to see if they pick up on it. Moreso, just to be a jerk.

I guess yeah. Just having a conversation and then bam, nothing for hours. Whatever.
