Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Love Street in Paisley is shut again. We're having to go via Caledonia Street behind St.Mirren's old ground, then weave through the Gockston scheme to get to the airport. It's utter chaos, even at 07:30 in the morning! The traffic's jammed up all over the place. :angry:

(Cheers for that advice above HGG - you're a diamond. ;) )

Phoning 3 to give notice of my intent to finish with them in 30 days so I can get myself an iPhone to have the fella do his best Del Boy and flog me a phone that quite clearly isn't the one I want.

Me: "I would like to end my contract with you, therefore I'm starting my 30 day notice period."

3 Person: "I'm sorry to hear that, Mr Doctor. May I ask why?"

Me: "I'm getting another phone on another network. Specifically an iPhone with O2."

3 Person: "I can offer you this other phone which is similar, which we can do for you cheaper and we'll throw this and that in as well."

Me: "I see. Tell me something, is it an iPhone?"

3 Person: "Well, no, because we cannot offer the iPhone..."

Me: "Then I don't want it then. Please may I have my PAC code"

3 Person: "Are you sure, sir? This phone is very similar and...."

Me: "Is it an iPhone?"

3 Person: "It's not, I'm afraid"

Me: "Then I don't want it. Am I not making myself clear? Please can I have my PAC code"

It took me another three times to tell him I didn't want the alternative he was offering and I eventually weedled my PAC code out of him. What part of "I don't want your phone" was he not getting? :angry:

My brother in law had the same problem with them(3) Doc.

They kept offering him a new phone and were unwilling to tell him the exact date his contract ended.Terrible bloody company.

You: "Because I'm slightly unnerved at a mobile phone company that not only knows my username on an internet forum, but addresses me as such during my conversations to their call centre"

Colleagues who arrange interviews without telling me. I've already been out once to serve removal directions and again to collect the post. Now, out of the blue, an interviewee has turned up who I've had to escort through to the office and now I'm waiting to escort the Farsi interpreter through when she arrives. That's about two miles walked today already! <_<

Decided I was having a lie in this morning, so called a taxi for work. The taxi turned up a quarter to nine ('right away isn't 20 minutes in my fucking book), managed to drive into a fucking traffic hold up despite the fact that there were about 3 different options.

The fact that I'm now running late due tyo his incompetence and his companies lies causes the driver some sort of pressure. He doesn't react well and stalls the car 3 (three) times in a ten minute drive.

I hate phone salesman/women.

I gave t mobile my notice on sunday. They asked why, I told them their reception is rubbish and I can't contact anyone. She pleaded for a bit, but eventually gave in.

I'd gone into t mobile on friday to cancel it in person, but they said they can't do cancellations in store. Also said I paid insurance and the memory card had fallen out because of a flaw in the design, but they also said they couldn't deal with any of that in store.

They could have basically dealt with anything that involved them making money, but nothing that involved helping me. Useless tramps.

Like when I phoned up to cancel my car insurance as the renewal was about £80 dearer than other companies. After telling them I'd already accepted another quote, they said "can I give you a re-quote as it might be cheaper". Me: "No, because I'd then be wondering why you didn't give me that price in the first place".

:rolleyes:
