Customers who are so stupid I should be legally allowed to shoot them
1. After sending a woman loads of choices of radiator and checking everything was in stock etc (her via email) I have just purchased the radiator, can you confirm you have received payment. me: No I haven't can you please confirm which method you used to pay with? They then email me back the receipt for ANOTHER COMPANY. When I pointed this out they emailed "Oh noes!!!!" I laughed from despair...

2. Woman calls up "Erm I think I've bought something from you on eBay. I've never used it before... can you talk me through how to pay. click by click walk through "oh I don't have paypal. Can I pay by card? yes that's fine "ok done" I don't see the payment yet... Really? I pay just by clicking more actions and mark as paid right?

3. "Hello I am calling from abroad. How much it cost?" How much does what cost? Call! CALL! How much call costing me? ....

I'm refusing to answer the phone now. What are you refusing to do?

I guess Lusty is right when she implies "That monty is very old and shit, I was in it for the inhertiance as he is so old that he will die very very soon, but it looks like I'd get more of a bill than a windfall, so fuck that. Besides, it seems all his deseases and iligal drugs that he takes are equally balances, if he quits the yop it'll fall like a house of cards. I guess I could sale his record collection, that's gotta be worth at least a couple of hundred, it'll pay for a night out or something, maybe I could take Gonz on that night out? oh gee oh gosh, I wish he was my mister instead, maybe one day. Anyway, as soon as he ends up in hospital on life support because he's pissed off a real-life brick-top, I'll leave him then. I'd probably take a dump on his signed-first-edition-printed copy of some obscure pop group band he keeps on banging on about." when she says "hello, how are you?".
