The complaining thread

BB, I would be so mad!!! She has obviously never really loved a cat before because then she would know that it doesn't matter if the cat is bald or bright blue.

Is it me, or did this portion of this thread remind anyone of the movie "Soylent Green"?

Besides being BEYOND annoyed at a member of another forum.., I get the most frustrating customers EVER at work.

This lady 'bought' 3 AT&T phones a month ago, and 3 days before her 30 days, she's comes in to say her phone is glitching and she needs a new one, yadda, yadda. Well she doesn't have the box, so she's going to come back tomorrow, except she doesn't but comes the day after. Turns out it was her 31st day, but we made an exception because last month was 31 days. But then we see the phone has scratches and once again make an exception even though we Really aren't supposed to.
So we switch it out for a flip phone and she goes on her merry way, saying she hopes she doesn't have to come back *knock on wood*.
Well, guess who comes back? For some reason the texting doesn't work on this phone and we can't figure out why and AT&T can't figure out why and our new employee is a flake and gives up the phone to someone else who didn't know he was on the phone because he was 'trying to be nice'. And Then by the time we get back on the phone with AT&T, she has to go because her groceries are melting, and we 'did the best we could', blah blah.

*sigh* So then 20 minutes later she calls back and says 'So I can trade my phone out tomorrow, right?' "Uh, no ma'am." 'But it's only the 31st day.' "Sorry Ma'am, we can't." 'But it's defective!!' "You'll have to take that up with the manufacturer, ma'am."

To top Everything off, not only we all the phones she 'bought' free, but one of them had a gift card so she got money back!! Oh, and I mentioned to her to cancel with AT&T today if she was unhappy 'Oh, I'll just do that later' *face palm* and I make sure to Specifically ask her if she wanted insurance before she left and she denied.

I so wanted to say 'You get what you paid for, and you paid nothing lady!!'

Lol, I would laugh so hard if you actually knew who I was talking about. xD

Seriously? Wow. I don't prefer the tortie coat either but since I know that, you know, personalities matter more I certainly wouldn't do that! Yikes, what shallow people. :/ (And even I, who don't prefer those coats, LOVE the blazes down the noses. It's freakin' adorable.)

seriously right? Thats ok. I think the Tortie had more personality then she could handle anyways. Definately not what i would have considered a good match.

Lets just say I wasn't exactly happy with it. At least she wasn't trying to cordinate the cat with the drapes...

Probably had more personality than her. That will frighten stupid people off.

I honestly don't have anything major to complain about...

I don't care for my job, can't stand it really - but it pays the bills while I acquire and get certified for my new skill sets that will pay me much better for less hours of doing something I enjoy. So I suck it up, smile, do the best I can while there since it is all part of the master plan to restore and live on a old wooden sailboat with the cats.

Honestly, it probably wasn't a wise choice to change careers (more like abandon a career and figure out what the heck I was going to do over the next couple years), get a new job that has nothing to do with the old or new career and take a bunch of courses in the "Great Recession" but what the heck - I figure it's residuals from my midlife crisis, never did things the easy way. Plus all of this has taught me to live on a fraction of what I used to make

oh -

One of my favorite movies ever. Next time you see it watch the death scene for "Sal". The only person on the set that knew Edward G Robinson was terminally ill (he died a couple weeks after filming) was Heston and he was really crying those tears for his friend.

I have worked a week straight at a cat shelter and I REALLY need a break.

It seems that 1/3 of the cats vomit hairballs every day and another third vomit their food every day. 2/3 of the cats have diarrhea constantly. At least one in each room has explosive diarrhea which I am stuck cleaning up...and by explosive, I do mean explosive.

One of the cats sprays everywhere, most likely because he has a urinary tract issue, but the shelter thinks he is just being territorial.

All the cats have one or more things wrong with them - whether it be obesity, dry fur, major dental issues, underwieght, or the problems mentioned above. It drives me crazy!

They feed the cats all dry food, a mixture of Kirkland and TOTW, so at least it is decent (not Friskies or something like that). But IMO nearly all the cats "problems" are food related, and it would help so much just to feed each cat 3 oz of canned food a day. But no, apparently canned food rots a cats teeth, makes them obese, and eating canned knocks a few years off of a cats life span There is a reason I can only stand that job once a week.

Maybe you could print off these and hand them out at the shelter??
