+ventura_kids Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 No one would tell me where the complaint dept was. That's what I'd like to complain about. I must have looked for minutes. Now that I found it... I forgot why I was looking for it. Maybe UMC will remember. I'm sure I asked him a few times. Ventura Kid and Spider Dude Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? Quote
3fros Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 I'd like to complain about the Washington drivers that enter the freeway doing 40mph, while yapping on their cell phone and steering with their knees so they can drink their latte and put on their makeup while merging across all lanes of traffic so they can get in the left lane. First of all I'm usually the one stuck between them and the car they're merging in front of. They're usually driving a Yugo or some other small death trap. Why can't I just push them off the road and save us all a lot of grief. Second, I have just one thing to say about the cell phones, FRIGGEN HANG UP AND DRIVE!!! Third, why do they have to get in the far left lane? We even have signs saying "State law, slower traffic keep right" and no one pays any attention to them. Thanks for letting me vent. Quote

Rubbertoe Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 Whatever they are called, they're dadgum stupid. I'm the only car going down this crappy country road, around midnight - not another car for miles, and this stupid possum decides to try and cross the road in front of my car. So, I'm complaining that I had to spend the last 15 minutes hosing the blood and fur off of my right front wheel / wheel well. The NEW Toe Pages Quote

Rubbertoe Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 Yeah, I've been lucky with avoiding animals most of the time. I hit a deer a long time ago, and this was the only thing I've run down since then I think. I ran over a rabbit last spring, but it did one of those "under the car, but not under the tire" things where you see him go rolling down the road in your rear view mirror. My wife happened to be following me at the time, and she said he got up and hopped away after he shook away all the cobwebs. The NEW Toe Pages Quote
+Planet Posted November 24, 2002 Posted November 24, 2002 I wanna order a veeeeesssst! I can't! I also want to order some other stuff from the Groundspeak site and it still say there's nothing in my basket even though my order is up around $100.00. So I go to the alternative site and they don't HAVE the vests. I try this morning noon and night so I don't think time of day has much to do with it. What can I do? Pray to TPTB? Dear PTB, Please help little old me! Thank you, Planet. Cache you later, Planet Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right, But Three Lefts Do. Quote

Rubbertoe Posted November 28, 2002 Posted November 28, 2002 I wanna complain about people who start a thread, get a conversation going - which then turns into a bit of a pissing match, and then they delete the original content of their post, and close the thread to anyone else that wants to comment. Personally, I kinda liked the idea as stated in the original post, but now that he deleted it - nobody else reading that thread will know what they are talking about, or be able to form a fair opinion on it. If you start a thread and you don't like what it has turned in to, just walk away.... no need to cover your tracks or have the whole thing locked down. View The ToeCam Quote

Had the car tuned up on Wednesday - but battery was low so mechanic advised getting a new one before we left town. Took it to WalMart for new battery - whatever they did - they FRIED the electrical system! Car still in ##WalMart parking lot - no car, no weekend, no caching! No turkey except those that hooked up jumper box to my car! My mind keeps repeating - No caching this weekend, no caching this weekend! Can I sue for punitive damages for caches missed out on? Quote

+lostinjersey Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Thank you for calling geocaching.com. To order merchandise, press 1, to log a find, press 2, to list a new cache, press 3, to repeat these options, press 9. "Well I want to place a log in the forums and theres no option for that. Let me press zero to speak to customer service." BEEP! We're sorry but that is not a valid selection, please try again. Thank you for calling geocaching.com. To order merchandise, press 1, to log a find, press 2, to list a new cache, press 3, to repeat these options, press 9. ETCETCETCETCETC!!!!!!!1 The only thing worse then Fricking VRU's are the ones that think zero means terminate my call. As if I didn't know to nhang up if that's what I wanted. and the one we have at Verizon is probably one of the 10 worst out there. Well actually, any telecommunications company VRU probably ranks among the 10 worst, a bit of irony I always savor when people complain to me about "how many buttons" they had to push. www.gpswnj.com Quote
Rubbertoe Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 It pisses me off when people give me attitude in a thread, when they don't really need to. I mean, dadgum - I find it funny that they took a bug 1700 miles in the "wrong" direction, considering the bug wants to go west to Hawaii... I made a little post about it, and when I saw that they were getting upset - I just kinda made light of the situation, letting them know that it wasn't that big of a deal to me, and ended the post with a smile. They still come back with their pissy little "well, we will have to avoid your bugs" comments. e@tm3pLs,kThNx. Deform My Head! Quote
+leatherman Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 How did you log the bug when you picked it up, if you didn't bother to get the tracking number? The littlest things you say can be considered inflammatory. If you do not extend your expectations unto others, you will not be disappointed by the stupid things they do. Mokita! Quote
Rubbertoe Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 I was hoping the next time that Leatherman followed up one of my posts, that he would be disagreeing with what I said... cuz I made this up for just such occassion: Click to view the ToeCam (spelling edit) [This message was edited by Rubbertoe on December 04, 2002 at 08:34 PM.] Quote

Rubbertoe Posted December 9, 2002 Posted December 9, 2002 I wanna make a somewhat serious complaint about fairly innocent threads being locked down, just because they are "off topic" and not relating to geocaching. I'm not sure if Jeremy was just in a bad mood or something when he was reading through the threads - but I didn't see any harm in that little "elite" thread. And, as for being off topic... I'd bet at least half of the posts in these forums aren't exactly about geocaching. Yeah, I know... they are "his forums" and he can "do what he wants" and all that - but I just wanted to say I didn't really see the harm in that thread, that's all. And tnx, planet, for the belated b-day wishes. The Toe Pages Quote

I go to take out my half a chicken cutlet & it's still connected at the bottom so I try to gently pull the bagel apart & it tearsm in half and now I've got one half a bagel sandwich with this extra piece of bagel bottom, and the other side has almost no bottom so the mayo & lettuce is dripping all over my hand and it's a giant oogy mess and the chicken will probably fall right out onto my lap or worse the floor.
