When I am pondering a purchase in the grocery store, I try to park my grocery cart (I always get the biggest one available even if I am only getting one item) perpendicular to traffic flow. That way I can ensure that no annoying people walk in front of me or behind me while I take my time reading ingredients, trying to work out if the larger size is truly more economical, and consider the costs and benefits of name brand vs generic.

:D

This is truly the deranged behaviour of a supermarket terrorist. ;)

I've encountered a total of 3 people at local market that decide to walk down isle, talking on phone loudly, and no mask. All a stare down will accomplish is getting in a fist fight. 2 of the 3, were super dirty, mean looking uneducated men. Here in Ky, thats alot of the population i'm afraid.....

Change "Ky" to "La" and I could post the same thing.

Man, i do love my state. But we are last in every measurement that involves quality of life and treatment of animals. And i'm not kidding. Except for Lexington, and Louisville, about 95 percent of the rest of the state is a very poor and proud people. Big trucks with the large muffler in the bed with a 5 gallon bucket over the pipe when parked, is about the norm for that population, LOL:roflmao:

Pop ups on my phone that arrive at the precise moment I am trying to tap something else and am taken to a place I do not wish to go. It’s even worse when it’s for a call that I purposely didn’t want to answer and it immediately redials.

Yet another beef with DirecTV's customer service. I got an email last month saying Center Ice will automatically renew unless cancelled prior to the start of the season. So I called to cancel my Center Ice pkg back on Jan 1, two weeks before the season began. Today's bill shows the first installment is being billed.

Spent over 35 minutes with the CSR, who must own the slowest computers in the world. We were waiting for my account to load, waiting for the request to load, more waiting for the verification of the request to load, and finally the last 15 minutes waiting for a supervisor to OK the whole thing.

I told her I'm at work and can't be spending any more time on hold waiting for her supervisor, etc, especially when the mistake was on their end, not mine. Of course, they finally said they will issue a credit some time in the next two billing cycles (months). Which means I will have to pay the current $41 overcharge and hope they come through with the credit on their end. It's amazing how payments are instantaneous but crediting a customer takes months. :banghead: :rage:

At least she didn't try to sell me yet another movie tier, which is their usual modus operandi. :rollno:

Well, another month goes by, and the same DirecTV billing error still occurring. What's that saying...Same BS, different day? :smug:

They're still charging me for something I cancelled back on Jan.1, but the good news is I only had to spend 20 minutes on the phone this time versus 35 mins last time. Despite being reassured that the issue has been resolved (again), forgive me if I can't help but think I'll be spending some time on the phone with them next month, too. :rage:
