My house recently got robbed and I wanted to find out the replacement cost of a laptop. I call Dell Sales, and get transferred to tech support immediately.

I explain I want a quote on a new laptop, they transfer me to hardware support. I tell them I want sales… they bring me to the receptionist… who then transfers me back to support.

At that point I got angry and started yelling at the agent. Transfer me to SALES and ONLY SALES.

Transferred back to receptionist… DELL HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!

35 minutes later.. 35 fucking minutes! I reach sales, but its not online sales so they cant give me a quote. That was very odd, but anyway, finally after 45 minutes I get someone to give me a quote, which took 2 minutes to do.

During this time, as I was getting frustrated, they were saying “sir, don’t be rude… let me transfer you.” “TO WHERE!??!!?!! NOT SUPPORT, NOT HARDWARE SUPPORT! I DON’T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING COMPUTER ANYMORE.”

“Okay, hold on.. I will transfer you.” “WHERE?” *too late, i am in the transfer queue back to the receptionist.

If you have to call Dell, be warned.. you are in for a horrible experience.

Elevator Etiquette

in Random Rants

I hate it when I am in an elevator and when I reach my floor and about to get out, the people on the other side are trying to get in.

HELLO!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?  Do you have any elevator etiquette?

You are supposed to let the people out first… wtf gives? It’s not like they were accidentally walking in, like when people are checking their text messages on their cellphones and walk in aimlessly. That, I can understand happens.

In this case it was totally deliberate. Anyways, some people just don’t know how to function in society. Even if its their 100th time taking the elevator.

Saving a cyclist’s life by breaking the law

June 19, 2010 Driving Rants

Just a short rant for today… I saved the life of a cyclist the other day by naturally assuming she wouldn’t obey traffic laws. If I would have gone when the light turned green, I would have t-boned him, or more accurately, shattered every bone in his speedo-mummified body with my car. I have nothing [...]

I’m so stupid, I’ll beep people who aren’t at fault.

June 9, 2010 Driving Rants

So here I am driving along a road. Cyclist is in my lane. Oncoming traffic is 200m away, so as to avoid the cyclist, I creep over into the other side of the road just to give him some space. After all, the oncoming traffic is ages away. Well after I’m past the cyclist, as [...]

Has it happened to you?  Where you were waiting to get served at a counter and the person behind the counter served someone else before you even though you were there first? It happened to me today.  Twice actually, one after the other.  I was at a bakery where you can pick up a ready [...]
