Ho LEE fucking cock-wad!

[tripperfunster]

So, the phone rings this morning at 6am. SIX FUCKING A.M.

Normally, I set the alarm for sometime after 7am. I don't generally have to be at work until the afternoon, but the kids' have school, so we still have to get up early.

Lucky for me, I happened to have a phone on my nightstand. Normally, I have to run to the kitchen to answer it.

Me: Hello? (generally, when the phone rings at odd hours, it's someone drunk dialing, or someone has broken into our store and it's the police calling, or someone has you know, DIED or something.)

Man: Is Lance there?

Me: What is this regarding?

Man: Well, I uh ... I was in your store last night and I left something there.

Me: And ....?

Man: Well, I'm from out of town and my flight leaves in an hour and I really need to get this thing.

So, I pass the phone over to hubbby.

It turns out, that this guy had been looking for a kitten, and we didn't have any, so one of our staff had been calling around to different shelters etc to help this guy find a cat to bring back home (up north) with him. Long story short, WE didn't find him one, but I guess he found one late last night? Or maybe early this morning, and now he needs a kennel and his plane leaves in an hour.

Okay. I need to buy a kennel DOES NOT EQUAL 'I left something at your store.'

DON'T FUCKING LIE TO ME ASSHOLE!

To top it off, Hubby asks him where he got our number. We don't have our personal phone info on our business cards, and we certainly don't make a habit out of giving it to our customers. (for exactly this reason). Not to mention, that the phone is in MY name, not hubbys.

Turns out, this dick-face sat down with a phone book and STARTED CALLING PEOPLE WITH HUBBY'S (unusual) last name. So, not only did he wake me up and make me panic that something bad had happened, but he CALLED MY 88 YEAR OLD MOTHER IN LAW and woke her up!

And lied to her too, of course.

I have a cold, so once I woke up, the ol' mucous flow/coughing fits begin, and that doesn't make good sleep for anybody, so here i sit, AN HOUR BEFORE MY ALARM IS SET TO GO OFF, blogging about Mr. SpecialSnowflake Entitlement Asshat.

Fuck you Jerk-face. Without lube.

Needless to say, we did NOT rush over to the store and give him a kennel and complimentary blow job.

On a much happier note: I got a card from accioslash <3 and a sweet little package from xena_fox. Santa porn = SO FUNNEH!!

Also, my mom gave me a $100 gift certificate to my fav art store, and they had a rockin' sale Wed night. %40 off pretty much everything in the store. I bought like, $180 worth of amazing stuff and had to pay a mere $2.30 out of pocket. SCHWEET! Lots of cool things that I am usually too cheap to buy, like nice paint brushed and really high quality water colour paper.

PREPARE FOR THE PORN, PEOPLES!

So, how's YOUR day so far?

Wow, what an asshole. :P But yay art supplies!

[theficklepickle.livejournal.com]

He's giving somebody a kitten for Christmas? I hope he fries in Hell and somebody nice rescues the kitten.

[atdelphi.livejournal.com]

What the heck?

[moonflowerkc.livejournal.com]

You should tell your story on the customerssuck website.

[sra-danvers.livejournal.com]

Just monday my father called at 06,45h. from another city. He mistaked the botton. I nearly have a heart attack, like you said, calls at that hour use to be bad news, and he was about to take a plain.

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. I would have committed through-the-phone murder. Didn't you have a whistle or something handy? ;-p

Sorry you're not feeling well.

[stupid-drawings.livejournal.com]

Damn, that is fucked up! You win the award for most unfortunate retail story.

[venturous1.livejournal.com]

yay for art suppplies!!!! bring it on, Tripper!

and as far as arseholes go, remember there's karma.

[hecate-12.livejournal.com]

What an arsehole!

[verizonhorizon.livejournal.com]

What a crazy morning! I'm glad you told that guy to bug off (because he so tried to pull a fast one on you). How irritating!

Here's a pic of Kirk's reaction to your morning drama:

[synn.livejournal.com]

what an asshat. I do wonder what he ended up doing with the kennel-less kitten. Customers really do suck. it's a pretty safe bet that guy never worked in retail.

But hurray for art supplies!

It is only 1 here, but I am home from work \o/ because it is snowing, and NC does not know how to handle snow.

[euclase.livejournal.com]

That you bought $180 worth of high quality art supplies FOR PORN is why I love you to bits. :D

[kerosinkanister.livejournal.com]

I would have charged him something crazy like $500 if he wanted me to come down at that hour.

Ugh.

I don't think people should have to get up before 10.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

ugh. may he get fisted by Popeye.

[canonfodder123.livejournal.com]

That's not cool - I always assume it's the police if I get a call late at night, or the lottery people telling me I've won millions of dollars if someone calls early in the morning. If it's not either of those I don't want to know about it!!

So looking forward to the artz after your christmas shopping too!!! Can there be Snarry? Pretty watercolour Snarry?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes, the public's sense of entitlement knows no limits.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Art supplies, YES! I can hardly wait to crack the stuff open!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm not sure if the cat was for him, or someone else. I wasn't at the store the night before, so I don't know.

Either way, I wish that poor kitty luck!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Switch out 'heck' for 'FUCKING HELL???' and yeah, you've got my thoughts exactly.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I don't know that website. I visit customerisnotalwaysright.com quite often, but I'll have to check that one out!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

i know! Late night/early morning phone calls are NEVER good news!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I didn't realize what exactly was happening until my hubby hung up and told me. Believe me, i wouldn't have needed a whistle. That guys ears would have been bleeding from the expletives alone!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

ha! There is quite the competition for that award!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

But Karma is too slow! I need Fast Acting Karma(tm)!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, you'll get no disagreement from me!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

mmmmmm is distacted by Capt'n Fine .....

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, the guy is a FUCKING TEACHER! This does not bode well for future generations.

How's the snow now? I hear the east coast is getting PUMMELED!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Just doin' my part, ma'am. *tips hat*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

$500 and a kick in the junk!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

With sand, and no lube.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I'm working on a pencil Snarry right now! Then I have (insert odd, odd, odd, threesome pairing here) for a pinch hit for a fest, then a Spock/McCoy for an art trade (from Almaxaquotal's sister, btw!!) and THEN maybe some watercolour snarry!

[synn.livejournal.com]

good grief, those poor kids.

It stopped snowing on our area on Friday night. We got about 6 inches total (12 in. nearby), which is a lot for this area. However, the thing to understand is that the folks around here don't *do* anything about it. 1/2 of the main road is plowed (enough space for a car to go in either direction) and our apartment complex parking lot is still not plowed. People don't shovel their driveways or plow -- they just wait for it to melt.

ridiculous.

[antisocial-nerd.livejournal.com]

What a douche. SO SAD I missed that sale *pout*

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

hehe

[xenafox.livejournal.com]

I'm late but -

Early phone calls. Never good. The last 2 we got were from my drunk uncle, and guess who woke up to answer the phone? Me. It was years ago though. On the stupid side, we once got a call waking us up at 5 am because an idiot neighbor wanted us to bring her son somewhere later that day, some school thing. I believe my parents gave her epic shit.

Yay for the art supplies, and I'm glad my package made it! Did the ornament survive?
