Yin thread
there's some serious Karma coming at b3ta after you lot have revealed what a bunch of moaning turds you can be. I propose a yin thread to counter out your carping.

Starting with this; to the lovely person I spoke to this evening 6 minutes before your call centre closed, thank you very much for putting up with me, being funny and professional and letting me off my (deserved) late fee. Just so you know, I asked to speak to your supervisor so I could tell her you were a pleasure to talk to and a credit to your company.

Feel free to include your own stories of being curteous, reticent and accommodating in the course of your interactions with other people, who no doubt have their own complicated lives to deal with. Or, why not just use this as an opportunity to go and have a nice cup of tea and think about going to the park.

(or just bumsex me, I don't fucking care you bunch of cunts)

Where on earth are you getting this anger from?
I've been reading this QOTW for ages now and the stories haven't been more moaney than you'd expect from a question about complaining. Most of them make me smile, or giggle, or go, "ha! That got them!". There's quite a lot about sweets which is ace as I love sweets.

Close the tab B3ta is on, wait until Friday, and then read the new one! Or suggest a happy alternative in the right place. Or just stop moaning! XD

I might be projecting
I look at tweetingtoohard.com on links earlier and I only just put the breadknife back in the cutlery drawer...

I wish to complain.
At the lack of complaining.

i like this idea
As well as my honda accord kamikaze approach to complaining mentioned earlier in qotw i also go to great lengths to highlight extremely good service. I once drove 200 miles to buy a phone for my wife. Only one left in stock was on the other side of the country. I got there five minutes before closing, made to complete the sale and realised i had forgotten my wallet. left the shop and then realised i couldnt pay for parking. Went back to beg for spare change. Without skipping a beat the salesman pulled a fiver from his pocket, wished me a safe journy and said he ould get it back from me when i returned for th phone. I wrote an email to charles dunstone as soon as i got home to big this guy up. I make a point of doing this whenever appropriate (although some people get cagey when you ask for their managers contact details)

I think you mean a yang thread

hmm
I think we might be about to get into one hand clapping in a forest.

Yin is the dark side of the mountain (as opposed to the sunny side) but is also the cool and calm, as opposed to the fiery and aggressive.

The mandelbrot of metaphors, if you will.

Personally I think that a little figure of a man nailed to a plank has infinitely deeper shades of meaning.

Since I remain defiantly old age
when it comes to new age nonsense, I'll concede you know more. But as far as my limited knowledge goes yin is more often associated with the negative, the dark and calm.

A few months back
we bought a 4-pack of chocolate caramel wafers. www.tunnock.co.uk/caramelwafer.html

I noticed that on the wrapper it mentions that they're still the same size as always. So I emailed them and congratulated them on not going down the same road as Wagon Wheels and the Cadbury Cream Egg and slowly reduce the size hoping no one will notice.

They were very grateful for the comments and after asking for my address, they sent me a box with about 20 in. Free sweeties FTW I always say.

Tunnock's Caramel Wafers = Biscuits of the Gods
Not sure about the plain chocolate ones, though.
