Complaint Dept!!

Recommended Posts

Why is it you try to be nice and politely hint that someone misspells the word "realize" in their signature line, they still leave it at "realise"????????

 

I mean, have their brains gone "green"? A little "short" minded, perhaps? icon_biggrin.gif

I don't like when people don't read all 250 some posts before posting here. Its not right or fair to the rest to us.

 

Also I think that Halloween saftey is something that everyone should have every year.

One more while I’m complaining about work….

 

A couple of weeks ago I had to sit though safety training where I was told “ There may or may not be substances in the work place that may or may not cause reproductive harm.”

After patiently listening to this I asked the trainer, “Are there any of these substances in our work place?”

The answer, “Maybe.”

Got this in an e-mail. Good way to handle that stuff, don't you think? icon_wink.gif

 

I suppose some degree of commerce would grind to a

halt if telephone solicitors weren't able to call

people at home during the dinner hour. But that

doesn't make it any more pleasant. Now Steve

Rubenstein, a writer for the San Francisco

Chronicle, has proposed "Three Little Words" based

on his brief experience in a telemarketing operation

that would stop the nuisance for all time.

 

The three little words are "Hold on, please." Saying

this while putting down your phone and walking off

instead of hanging up immediately would make each

telemarketing call so time consuming those boiler

rooms would grind to a halt. When you eventually

hear the phone company's beep beep beep tone, you

know it's time to go back and hang up your handset,

which has efficiently completed its task. This might

be one of those articles you'll want to e-mail to

your friends.

 

When you get ads in your phone or utility bill,

include them with the payment. Let them throw the

stuff away. Think globally; act locally.

 

When you get those pre-approved letters in the mail

for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages

and junk like that, most of them come with postage

paid return envelopes, right? Well, why not get rid

of some of your other junk mail and put it in these

cool little envelopes! Send an ad for your local

chimney cleaner to American Express, or a pizza

coupon to Citibank.

 

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just

send them their application back! Just make sure

your name isn't on anything you send them. You can

send it back empty if you want, just to keep 'em

guessing!

 

Let's turn this e-mail into a chain letter!

Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will

begin getting all their junk back in the mail. Let's

let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and

best of all... THEY'RE paying for it! Twice!

 

Let's support our postal service. They say e-mail is

cutting into their business and that's why they need

to keep increasing postage. We can help!

 

Cache you later,

Planet

Stores that put out Christmas stuff in October. What the hell? There's the plastic pumpkins right next to the dancing Santa doll in Walgreens. And look, boxes of Christmas cards. Better stock up now, I wouldn't want to forget.

 

Now where did I park my car??????? monkes.gif

People who post what amounts to Cartoon porn on the message boards. (And I am not talking about avitars). Do they not understand that we have children who look at this site. I really did not need to hear my 15 year old daughter go "Cool, a Penis on the cache site". Some people just dont think!!

Back to the clown phobia. I was in a store Saturday that had lapel pins. One said something like "afraid of clowns". I immediatly thought of my brother, who is deathly afraid of both clowns and sea creatures but they didn't have a button for that.

I'd like to complain that in a great thread as this, there aren't as many complaining as should be.

 

Come on people, you live dreadfull lives! Life stinks! Your dog doesn't like you, he's just there for the free food! Your wife hates you, she's just there so she can live next door to her boyfriend! Come, rejoice in what this glorious world has to offer, and let's complain! icon_biggrin.gif

 

Always proof-read carefully to see if you any words out.

Don't you hate when you think you don't know something but then find out you're smarter than you thought. At least I think I have this image thing conquered, lets see if this works.

 

Don't you hate it when people complain about the church, but the church wasn't really hiding it all along? As shown by this poorly designed church window.

 

(fingers crossed hoping image link works.......)

Better call me that Waaaaaahhhhhmbulance. This isnt't working. I am not UBB inclined I guess. Tried the image UBB button but it looks like Angelfire is putting a "rloadblock" into my URL, what ever that it. oh well. So much for that joke.

I'd like to complain that this has never happened to me!

 

That pic is as disturbing as the churches of late...

 

[EDIT] You had that pic here once! Won't it work using the UBB code image button below the post window???

I think it's Angelfire, which I'd like to complain about since I'm right here. Along with Geocities, Tripod, and all them other crappy web space providers.

 

Anyway, make an image tag to "http://www.bytethebullet.com/geocaching/images/church.jpg" and it'll work

I hate when you spend over 500usd on a GPSr and the darn thing doesn't work for what you bought it for. Not to mention the emotional turmoil that is necessary to figure if it should stay or go. Well I figured out that my Garmin GPS V is going to be on its way out. It is a sad day for me because I like many features of this unit but it is just not reliable under tree cover. There are reasons for that which I posted in the Took the Plunge thread. Looks like I am going to stick with Lowrance and pickup an iFINDER. Oh well for the autorouting but hello cheap and unlimited memory.

I just thought some people might be interested in this.

 

It is true, I have not logged any caches, but I have great interest in this sport. It seems like a great way to take the family out and see places you might otherwise never go. I do not have the $ to buy a GPS® right now, but rest assured in the coming months I will, and you will see caches logged shortly thereafter. If you have a GPS unit to loan me, I promise to log a cache the day I receivie it

 

Cache you later,

Wow, my first day on the forum and I made it into the compalaint thread. I feel so honored.

 

While it is true that I am in need (my wife tells me it's a want, not a need) of a GPSr, the reason I stated for not already having one is MONEY. I seriously doubt that UMC will want to sell me his Garmin V at a price I would be interested in... I am holding out for a Legend, and should be able to get it soon. There are a few Caches within a ferw miles of my house that I am thinking of looking for even before I get my GPSr, so maybe I'll be part of the "in" crowd soon.

Well the way I see it is that if he/she wasn't complainging then they have no business in this thread. icon_wink.gificon_razz.gificon_biggrin.gif

 

Speaking of which I can't stand when people come to the complaint dept thread and don't complain. icon_razz.gif

You won't feel real important until you make it into a thread of your own like this one.

 

Of course, you might have to wear something like this to do it:

Don't you just hate it when someone finds the perfect gift for Rubbertoe and doesn't get it for him?


 

I got it for Rubbertoe. Except it didn't end up being a button. I had stored the information in some dusty corner of my brain and in less than 46 hours it had mixed up the medium.

 

It is a sticker, about 2" by 4", pink black and white with a clown face and says "Can't sleep...clowns will eat me".

 

So Rubbertoe, if it isn't too scary for you, email me and I'll 37cent stamp it and it will be winging its way to you in the morning. Otherwise it goes to little brother this weekend. I forgot he was coming to Seattle so I could take him sea creature caching!!

OK I am going to complain about UMC's avatar. It is too twisted for me. icon_wink.gificon_wink.gificon_wink.gif I have been tramatized for 30 years. Ever since that day in Honors Bio class in high school when the teacher showed us the movie that the parents obviously didn't get to preview for the curriculum.

 

It was called "The Red Kangaroo" and UMC's avatar pose was one of the many kangaroo karma sutra poses shown that day. Anyone else "forced" to watch that one???

I'm just mad that since I found out about Geocaching like 2 weeks ago, that I can't make a career of it!! Caching has consumed my every thought for 2 weeks now. When I'm at work, I just watch the clock SLOWLY tick by while (in the down time) I read the forums and print off the cache pages to my next adventures. Now I don't like my job, it's hard to get any sleep, I'm scratching Poison Ivy all over my legs, picking splinters out of my hands, massaging sore muscles, awaiting lab results of the West Nile virus that I know I must have by now. dadgum I'm mad!!! icon_wink.gif

I TOTALLY DESPISE THEIVES!!! ANOTHER CACHE RIPPED OFF!! WHAT REALLY TICKS ME OFF IS THAT I HIDE MY CACHES SO THEY ARE REALLY DIFFICULT TO DETECT. WE EITHER HAVE A THEIF IN THE MIX, OR SOMEONE CANNOT TAKE THE TIME TO RE-HIDE WHAT THEY HAVE FOUND. ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO HAS TO SCREW UP A GOOD THING. SEEKER BP

You'll get over it. Once you are consumed by the R.A.S.H. it will only get worse. Within a few more days you will have the closest 100 caches programed into your GPSr. You will be a frequent visitor to the Dollar Store, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, McD's and anywhere else you might find cheap stuffing for the rubbermaid containers you are now purchasing in bulk. You will start carrying a large 3-ring binder with cache page print outs for about a third of your state.

 

Your gear will grow to include a second GPSr, a compass, new more powerful flashlights, Blaze vests for caching in hunting season, FRS radios, a PDA, a new cachemobile with 4WD. The list goes on.

 

My complaint is that we don't have cache breaks at work. My boss just doesn't understand that I need time for my addiction. Afterall, smokers get cigarette breaks on company time.

I love these... the preaddressed envelopes with the magic words "Postage will be paid by the addressee" Simply tape this envelope to a brick and return it. They are paying postage by the ounce. icon_cool.gif

 

Now how do I handle SPAM. there doesn't seem to be any effective way to stop it. icon_mad.gif

Trudy, It's happening!

My car is filled with plastic bags of stuff for geocaching, I realy do have the three ring binder, The Bryno has the Topo maps in his GPS and I have the street maps, we're dueling GPSrs. Luck had it that I bought the 4WD in March and took this up in April or I'd be selling the darn thing. I've even contacted another Geocacher to go with because my friends and family just don't understand. My second shift relief is here now, must go caching now....

 

Cache you later,

Planet
