What is new in your little world?

this atrocity

never heard a billing error described in these terms before

must be symptomatic of our cossetted lives that we equate minor inconveniences with acts of terrorism and genocide

[xer0s]

All of the incredibly biased and completely predictable interhate is comical and sad all at the same time.

Cheers.

Could you explain what is "incredibly biased" interhate?

I might be nice to put this event in simple terms but it is more than a billing error to me.
I used the word absurdity earlier in the email so, perhaps injustice would have been a better choice, so as not to reference acts of terrorism and genocide.
Point taken.

[LawL]

Maybe "error" would be more appropriate.

I forgot to mention, I got a call from the original Manager and then the State Manager Tuesday.

Everyone apologizes but I still don't have my refund.
Silly buggers wanted to send someone for an hour and a half drive to deliver cash

My conscience said don't do it! How would I feel if something terrible happened en route.. Why can't they simply transfer (electronically) the money? They take it out easily enough!

I was getting upset so asked the (original) Manager call Monday.

I ask, what would you ask for in consideration given the chance for a stuff up like this? It is a $13.50 refund due last November that's never been processed. I need something sweet to forget

I am thinking dinner for 2, newspapers for a year*, more movie free tickets**

* Did I mention it was the state newpaper?
** Gave me two on my February call

How many hours have you spent trying to get back 13.50?

[YourGrandpa]

Apparently when you're retired you have all the time in the world to figure out ways to get free/discounted shit. It's seems almost like an obsession.

[syp0s]

I read your refund woes thinking you were just a random lunatic who thought the best way to get a refund was to approach normal human beings as if you were talking to them in the comments of a Youtube channel, but now I see it's for 13.50?

Jesus man, just let it go. Sometimes the fuckers win. Read if by Rudyard Kipling, specifically the third stanza, and reflect on your pettiness.

[mrd]

Yea I gotta say.. $13.50? Not even worth the energy. Time is money. I remember years ago I was injured at work and I refused to deal with the provincial injury claim board because they are fucking inept and I know that from previous experience. So I just completely ignored their barrage of letters, phone calls and forms. Missed out on perhaps $200-300 but I didn't have to waste time dealing with their labyrinth of corporate horseshit, which to me is worth far more!

[Ryoki]

You realise of course Whiskey is a retired gentleman and likely has more time than he knows what to do with.

[MKJ]

oh.

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

Some people are on a fixed income and can use any money they can get their hands on.

We can't all brush our teeth with caviar...

[syp0s]

No, but we can all choose not to use the Internet as a platform for unrealistic sanctimony and bleeding hearts.

Cry me a river and I'll piss in it for you.

[Porto]

I have my final exams. Finally I'm going to do something for school...

[Whiskey 7]

No, but we can all choose not to use the Internet as a platform for unrealistic sanctimony and bleeding hearts.

Cry me a river and I'll piss in it for you.

I was not looking for sympathy.

I will advise yesterday I got a telephone call again and was promised, yes promised they'd deposit the refund this day. This morning I checked my bank account and there it is, 23 weeks to the day late !!

See, it can be done overnight

Yes it is only $13.50, not even worth the energy and time is money for certain.

The point I was trying to make is, that despite my time & effort there are people in the world that simply fail at their job miserably.

Some one in this case is/was not doing what they are paid for. I won't stand on a pedestal but I will say I worked hard in and at all my job(s) and don't believe for a millisecond I let anyone down by failing not to do what I was employed for.

Oh and I didn't ask for extras

[syp0s]

Sorry Whiskey, I wasn't talking about you, mate. I was talking about PuFFNSTuFF and his utterly nauseating sanctimony. I should've quoted him for clarity. You didn't come across as looking for sympathy at all.

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

lmao

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

far too easy

[HM-PuFFNSTuFF]

Hey congrats Whiskey. Your perseverance paid off.

It's about the principle amirite?

[Whiskey 7]

Too right! I have always said, don't let the bastards get you down or away with it. It is the principle for sure. I didn't mention earlier but he thanked me for my effort and they have now modified the process that failed me. Some consolation for sure as no other soul should fall as I did. I feel better.

[syp0s]

far too easy

For you to be gotten to by my income? Clearly

sys0p accepts that seremtan lost a little debate some weeks ago now and is still a little miffed about it

Shame nobody takes Discover&r anymore

Perhaps if I were as shallow as you this would happen.

You should take some of the money you keep bragging about and find yourself a Henry Higgins. It's embarrassing how classless you are.
