I work in an auto garage.
We have 24 hour cctv surveillance, insurance out the ying yang and a pretty good community of folks that will call us if anything happens.
I make sure all of the vehicles are locked after they arrive and double check each one at the end of the evening.
It generally doesn't bother me when a customer asks "You're going to make sure it's locked, right?" Because if it were me in the situation, I'd want to be sure too.

But it really fucking gets my bean when someone incessantly bugs me about securing there vehicle when it's a piece of shit car, covered in sap and dirt, has been wrecked and is fucking full of trash. To these people I want to ask "Why? Are you afraid they're going to steal your half empty two liter bottle of off brand diet sprite? Or perhaps the McDonald's sweet and sour sauce packet collection in the back seat?"

Tell me why you're annoyed today.

It's probably because they are poor
and therefore their piece of crap car is more valuable to them. You big meanie.

I'm happy today, I've been oddly happy most of this week. I must be on the upward swing of a manic depressive phase

if it were worth anything to them they'd take care of it.
I've been pretty happy this week as well.

cheers to happiness *clinks glass*

Poor people can't take care of anything
they susist on a diet of low-nutrient fast food, and have very little education. They care not for 'looking after things'.

Our home PC is fucked, which is pretty annoying.
When I switch it on it boots up and then just shuts down again, repeating the cycle over and over again. Doesn't even get to the desktop.

Any techies able to suggest anything?

Boot disk
as hard as you can
( Bert Monkeysex is waiting for the mods to delete him, Fri 6 Nov 2009, 15:48, Reply)

That's the trouble
there is no disk. I got a naughty copy...
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Fri 6 Nov 2009, 15:49, Reply)

Google
'boot disk xxxxx' where xxxxx is your operating system (obviously on somebody else's PC), and download the file needed to create one.

Or, press F2 or F8 when you're starting up to fuck shit up

BartPE to copy the important stuff off the hard drive to something else like USB
That or get a techie to attach the HDD to his own working computer. Then reinstall.

It's my natural condition
Rude people, thick people, all the other people...imbeciles dog my every step, it seems, conspiring to wind me up. Just today I had someone ask me 'this product on your website that says you have to buy the doors separately - do the doors come with it? And what is the price for 8?'

8 x the price you're staring right at, you Dutch cretin.

Good luck with your move, by the way.

cunts
this bloke today even struggled to get out of the door I told him "you have to pull it" he replied "OH P-U-S-H PULL," and stumbled out the door. Apparently he mistakenly read the "mastercard, visa, discover" sticker as one that said "Push"

thanks, by the way :)

Get new suppliers?

Just a thought.

I have many ways of dealing with suppliers
The most effective is telling them that if they want my money then they better fucking crank up the service levels or I'll go straight to their nearest and most well known competitor.
