You know what really grinds my gears...

Postby AuthorTony » Sat Aug 08, 2020 9:57 am

I typically wouldn't care, but it was still listed as "shipping soon" at 11:30 last night and almost certainly won't arrive today. If the price had gone down 30 minutes earlier they would have automatically price matched.

Edit: Decided not to return the original as I'd have to do a UPS drop off and the nearest one is in a pharmacy. I've been avoiding going into place due to covid, so I'll pay the extra 23% and whine like a pissbaby. :lol:

Last week I ordered a blu ray on Amazon for 32.09. It's supposed to be delivered today and I noticed the price has since dropped to 24.99. I connected with chat and asked them if they could adjust the price since the movie hasn't even been delivered. Nope. Can't make price adjustments.

So, I'm returning the movie when it comes and reordering under the new price.
That was just a lazy rep. HUCA, IMO.

Can't you schedule a UPS pickup from your home?

They charge you for the pickup unless it's a free return coming through Amazon.

UPS store wasn't an option. You don't even have to pack up your return. Scan the QR code and give them the item you are returning. Bam, that's it. The UPS store packs i up and ships it.

It was, but the nearest UPS store is around 26 miles away. I've accepted the $7 fleecing and moved on. ;)

People that dig huge holes on the beach. What is the point? Why do people feel compelled to do it?

people who post fear-mongering things on BookFace without fact-checking or using a shred of logic.

I'm afraid you can't say "big c**k" on the air. That's a no-no.

But I just said "pus-sy".
Yeah, she just said pus-sy!

Well, pus-sy's okay. It's the way you say it. "Big c**k" coming out of your mouth is just not good.

Wait a minute. I can't say "big c**k", but you can say "big c**k coming out of your mouth?"

That's right.

That sucks!

Did you just say "big c**k coming out of your mouth that sucks"?


First thing that always pops into my mind when I hear Match Game. :lol:

The stories behind that show... there’s a documentary out there and it talks about they would film a bunch of back to back episodes, breaking for lunch where they had tons of drinks before resuming. That’s why the later in the week episodes were bawdy for the time. And it’s crazy to see them smoking on set.

Welcome to my world, Ronnie. I had a 10-12 the other day and at 9:15, some bozo put a 10-10:30 down with me when we were the only two people in the meeting! I've started to not even respond to idiots like that

I mean. If you are going to be so inconsiderate to send a meeting invite like that, why should I be considerate enough to even respond? I'mma leave you hanging

Well, technically NTP's response is a non-response. I do that all the time. If you "Send Response Now", expect a phone call/text/email/IM resulting in a surprise impromptu meeting.
