Title: Crappy service in shops
Post by: Nick on August 07, 2013, 01:10:39 PM
I go to the right department and hunt around. Can't find it. Eventually locate operative and ask for item. "We don't sell that anymore," she barks.

I hunt around and find it!! I take it to her to pay. "Yes, you do," I say.

She gathers her colleagues round who all declare their astonishment.  noooo:

I head to the next department. I point at an item on display and  say that I need two of them. She checks the stock noooo: "Sorrym we only have one in stock."

Me: "That's OK, I can take the one from stock and this one too."

Her: "No, that is for display."

Me: "So why display something that is out of stock? I will take both."

She refuses and I demand to see a manager.

He lets me buy both items. Operative scowls.

Incredibly, this was in John Lewis, a shop I also had a nightmare time in last month in Southampton.  evil:

Had that as me avatar once upon a time at that rather awful pace where the mods hacked all the accounts - funny thing was they couldn't see the joke in that Overdue account spider payment story (http://www.27bslash6.com/overdue.html)

Parking spot
A few weeks ago, some guy in a shitty bmw parked in my 'reserved and paid for' parking spot in a small lot. I printed out an A4 (helvetica demi bold 12pt) note stating that this was a paid for parking spot and not to park there again. A couple of days later he parked there again. I printed out an A3 (helvetica black 42pt) sign stating 'Reserved Parking, Do not park here' sign and used spray adhesive (3M®) to mount it on the wall in front of my spot. When I went to park in my spot the next day he had written in texta, after "Reserved Parking', the words 'For Wankers'. About three days later I saw his car parked in the street so I printed out a poster in A2 (helvetica black, 92pt, reversed) with the word 'Fuckhead' and applied it with spray adhesive to his windscreen, ensuring (as per instructions) I sprayed both materials to be bonded. The disadvantage of course is that I am too scared to park in my spot but he is also too scared to park there so I will class this as a draw for the moment and find a new spot.

The book is brilliant.  Will probably save most of it for the next time Mrs K is in a clothes shop where there's no free Wifi

Book starts with the Party Invite story

Dear Darryl,
I understand the importance the resurrection story holds in your particular religion. If I too knew some guy that had been killed and placed inside a cave with a rock in front of it and I visited the cave to find the rock moved and his body gone, the only logical assumption would be that he had risen from the dead and is the son of God. Once, my friend Simon was rushed to hospital to have his appendix removed and I visited him the next day to find his bed empty. I immediately sacrificed a goat and burnt a witch in his name but it turned out that he had not had appendicitis, just needed a good poo, and was at home playing Playstation.
Someone probably should have asked "So the rock has been moved and he's gone... has anyone checked his house?" I realise Playstation was not around in those days but they probably had the equivalent. A muddy stick or something. I would have said "Can someone please check if Jesus is at home playing with his muddy stick, if not, then and only then should we all assume, logically, that he has risen from the dead and is the son of God."
If we accept though, that Jesus was the son of an Infinite Being capable of anything, he probably did have a Playstation. Probably a Playstation 7. I know I have to get my offspring all the latest gadgets. God would probably have said to him, "I was going to wait another two thousand years to give you this but seeing as you have been good... just don't tell your mother about Grand Theft Auto."
Also, is it true that Jesus can be stabbed during a sword fight and be ok due to the fact that he can only die if he gets his head chopped off?
Regards, David.
