This is a question Complaining

I like writing letters of complaint to companies containing the words "premier league muppetry", if only to give the poor office workers a good laugh on an otherwise dull day. Have you ever complained? Did it work?

Many of the QOTW answers are Fail.
Many contain MASSIVE DRUGS/supermodels/Honda Accords.

Many are not true.

Many are not funny.

Many are pointless.

Many contain online hardmanship.

I am better than everyone, but prefer to imply it by putting others down, instead of declaring and displaying my greatness.

Oh god I am absolutely terrified of everything oh god oh god help me help me help me.

Do I win?

First one to say no wins a prize*.


*Prize may differ from that offered. Terms and conditions apply.

I thought it was both good and original
but the parts that were good were not original, and the parts that were original were not good.

Groucho Marx, n'est pas?
The irony of quoting someone else to chastise someone for lack of originality is marvellous - good work!

Dear Vagabond,
Thank you for your letter of complaint of Wed, 8th Sept 2010.

Whilst we aim to address every complaint personally within two working days, this isn't always possible given the current volumes. Needless to say, every complaint is of worth to us and is accepted in the highest regard.

We aim to keep the standard of our product high, and we are sorry your QOTW did not reach you in top condition. We would like to rectify the situation by offering you a free two week subscription to the B3ta QOTW.

Again, please accept our most humble condolences that this issue of QOTW did not entertain, enthrall, amuse or in any way provide a useful outlet for your vitriolic rage against the Interwebs as a whole.

Yours,
QOTW

Call me dense, but...who exactly are you mocking here?
It's not atheists or cyclists, I'm sure of that much...

At a guess, I'd probably say the god of cycling.

I forsee a post
….a post with just three words…three words from a stripped mammal….

Aggressive

Passive

Would be my guess

I'm not sure how a bit of poor spelling somehow counter-acts "reference to an overabundance of repetitive rants" myself.
(, Wed 8 Sep 2010, 13:01, closed)
I was actually taking the piss
and making a gentle reference to the fact that there is more than one Badger on here. But hey.

Although I'm struggling to see what on earth reposting my post is supposed to mean, unless you've read deep into my psyche and decided that from my short comment above I was somehow abusing Ring of Fire?

Correcting typoss/grammatical slip's/speling erors is commonly construed as being somewhat pissy - I was simply noting that you'd previously excused these things elsewhere. If that wasn't what you meant by it, fair enough.
(, Wed 8 Sep 2010, 17:43, closed)
well, it's not pissy when the typo changes the whole meaning of the statement.
and opens up a comedy window.

Tell you what, I'll lend you Gonz for a week. Then you'll know the meaning of interesting spelling. And hollyoaks and chinese food and holding hands, but that's another thing...

Edit - to be fair, I didn't excuse it so much as relegating its importance to below the fact that nimrodhino is a stroppy bugger out of all proportion to the situations he's presented with, which even he agreed.

I have dyslexia
Before spellcheckers became the norm I’d struggle to put a sentence together. Also, my flavour doesn’t just effect letter order in words, it’s any list of items without an underlying logic. Putting months of the year, days of the week in the right order was still a struggle when I was well into my teens.

But I wouldn’t be without it. Not having a rigid order to world around gives me advantage in designing solutions, problem solving, research etc. It’s a mainstay of every job I’ve ever had. I think it also informs a general attitude that doing things a certain way “because that’s how it’s done” isn’t a good enough reason.

For me spelling is still a matter of throwing some letters at the screen that letting the computer make the best it can out of them.

Do you ever think that possibly, you might be taking a humour based forum, which frequently features, snarky responses, a bit too seriously?

Hahahahahahaha
Yeah.

Sorry, hang on - what was that about snarky responses and taking things seriously?
