Things I Loathe Thursday
In honor of my pink eye clearing up for a day and then reverting back to the state it was in two weeks ago, I have deviated from my normal Thursday posting to complain.
Pink Eye
Seriously, I don't get it. Kids get this shit all the time and it's no big deal. It generally clears up in about a week and that's with all of their constant eye rubbing. I've been on medication of some form since last Monday and haven't touched my eye at all. So when it started looking and feeling semi normal again on Sunday I was so excited. I kept up with my eyedrops and finished the last of the pills the doctor gave me last night.
I get up this morning and my eye burns, is neon pink again and wattery. Can I have a bionic eye and be done with this?
The people who call the Customer Service line
This is another pretty big one. Everyday I get between 2 and 20 phone calls (and occasionally emails) from dumb asses who bought stuff from us and want to return it, or people who don't understand that when our return policy says 90 days it doesn't mean 3 years. These people have caused my blood pressure to rise and constantly make me question how much stress it would take for my brain to start leaking out of my ears.
Seriously, who the fuck just clicks the purchase button on Amazon without reading the listing? Do you just stumble across a picture and say 'that picture looks good! I'm going to buy that. *click*' If that is how you do it, then don't call me and bitch when you get something that was refurbished, because the listing says the word refurbished in bold letters just like that, at least 6 times.
And while we're at it, No. I will NOT send you a shipping label, give you our UPS account number or send you cash to mail your product back to us. Had you read the listing and our return policy you'd know that the CUSTOMER is responsible for return shipping. So, fuck off ass hats.
Long Winded Explanations of Fairly Simple Matters
If I ask you how to look something up, in a program I've never used, get your ass to my desk and show me. Don't send me an email or call me (which is way worse) and give me a disertation on the history of the program and brag about how you helped design it. Frankly, I don't care. I want my question answered sometime this business day.
Also, please stop giving long winded, incorrect!, answers to things. If you don't know what you're talking about, just walk away or observe quietly.
Dishonourable Mentions
Lack of April fooling, Car insurance going up for no reason, gaining 3 pounds despite working out and changing my eating habits, feeling like dookie about myself, getting my ass kicked at Warhammer by a 12 year old (to be fair, it was my first game, but still!), Sunday drivers and allergies.
