DeltaZero Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Not my authority unfortunately.. He's in aldershot and has a delivery to make before he comes back. My boss has told me to sit tight and wait.. Thankfully I found a pub! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Cannonfodder80 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Back in work after a long weekend and I've had to put up with more childish in 12 hours than I had to over 4 days with a 4 year old. Some people really need a slap in the face, preferably with a brick Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 No alcohol for me.. Nice portion of chips though. Im back at the workshop finally.. M25 traffic sucks balls. As for the slap in the face.. I always find those people prefer a shovel over a brick.. Nice large flat object you can get good swing on.

scorch Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Bloody customers turning up at 16:59 with 15 minutes of enquiry and demanding it done there and then, not the next day. Yeeeeah, that may impact your future prices. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I find the attitude of customers a much greater multiplier of my courtesy than anything else. If someone comes in and goes "wipers, golf" I'll be polite but i'll not go out of my way to help you. Conversely, if someone comes in and goes "Hello/Good morning, I'm after some front wiper blades for my 2009 golf, any chance you've got those in stock please?" I'll be both much happier, much more forthcoming with the customer and much more pleasant to the customer. Equally, when the knobheads with Audis come in (we're VW and VW commercial only. not audi. not skoda. not seat. Just VW) if they're apologetic and polite - I get it, the nearest audi dealers are about 30 miles / 40 minutes away) I'll try and help. If they expect me to help them source a part we can't look up properly for a car we've never supported, order it for them, give them discount and deliver it for them, you may just find that it's an audi specific part and I'm very sorry, mr customer, but VW have never used this particular engine and so I can't help.

shmook Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Same. Be a *suitcasey* customer, get *suitcasey* service. Water off a ducks back to me. Ask nicely or behave and I'll bend over backwards to help. Unfortunately, most of the public are self-entitled *rickrolls*, no matter what job you do Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 It doesn't help his situation that he has 2 accounts, one in his wife's name to avoid tax. Also his wife will sometimes pop in to pick bits up. Occasionally wearing suspiciously large sunglasses despite it not being sunny if you know what I mean. Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Call that *suitcase* in. Domestic abuse is a *fruitcage* horrendous thing. I'd be ringing HMRC too. No sympathy if he's knocking her about. Edit, not saying this as a cop, I'm saying it as a human being. Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 What kind of *fruitcage* wit takes a toddler on a 10 hour flight to a bloody hot tropical country? The whine they moan they run around the place, when you get there they are a nuisance and they will not remember a damn thing when they are old enough to appreciate it. I had the back seat of the front leg room ones and there was a 1m gap behind me. The entire population of the plane was using it to walk their toddlers to keep them quiet (it didn't work). They kept bumping into my seat. The only upside was seeing one of them run full-tilt into the service cart. The metal on skull noise was delicious. On the plus side, I'm in Mexico.

Mike_West Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 So, my neck hurts for some inexplicable reason, and I'm supposed to punch in another bunch of stupid-*albatross* numbers nobody needs. Also, my mouse broke yesterday, but a 15-min trip to the mall at 9PM got me a replacement. A replacement that is slightly smaller, and I was used to that mahoosive brick with enough room to rest my entire palm on. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Filling in my tooth is giving me jib. Now to ring up the dentist and try not to sound annoyed as it needs repairing (I was told to give it a few days to see if it was just the gum). 'Hello, can you please tell me, why my tooth hurts more now, than when it didn't have a filling? Thank you'. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Call that *suitcase* in. Domestic abuse is a *fruitcage* horrendous thing. I'd be ringing HMRC too. No sympathy if he's knocking her about. Edit, not saying this as a cop, I'm saying it as a human being. She comes in with a shiner again and I will do. Realistically what can be done if there's no evidence and she doesn't want to say anything though? Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 ^Its a tough one. Personally, if she is coming by your work semi regularly I think it would be a good idea to keep a log with dates etc, then you take that the police and be like "I've been suspicious for some time, here's a list of recent incidents, do what you will with it" Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 What Skarclaw said. It will be investigated and even if she doesn't say much, a vulnerable person report will be submitted and put on file. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'll keep a note then. Incidentally, she was in this morning returning one of the bits he bought. Obviously he thinks we're a *fruitcage* library. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Nearly fell over. Realised at this point that the strepsils I have been on all day for my sore throat have killed my appetite and I havent eaten since 10am and have low blood sugar. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I take it as it was Friday night, you immediately remedied that with several pints of beer and a kebab? Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Sadly, it was remedied with a can of heinz ravioli, a cup of tea and a lay down. Link to post Share on other sites
