Look at her eyes! She's killed people. Probably microwaved their bodies.

That’s not roast beef!

That woman has absorbed a lot of radiation coming home grumpy after a long day of work and then microwaving her corn on the cob...

You can microwave corn on the cob. Might be too spicy for you though.

Norm Peterson: [about his and Cliff's meal at The Hungry Heifer] Yeah, Cliffy had himself the tunnel T-bone. For less than four bucks, you get 24 ounces of USDA choice US bef.
Cliff Clavin: Bef? You mean beef.
Norm Peterson: Beef? Don't be ridiculous Cliffy, that stuff is bef. You see, it's a Hungry Heifer trademark for a processed, synthetic, what... , meat-like substance.
Cliff Clavin: Ohh, Norm.
Norm Peterson: What do expect for four bucks? Do you hear me complain about the loobster?

Hahaha just picturing that is so nasty.

After 2 1/2 years on the app I finally had my first encounter with a Reddit mod. I now understand how they got their sterling reputation.

Insurance companies. My gears are SO ground they're dust.

Has a car accident in August (got rear-ended) and the wheels have been turning ever so slowly. I expected this, but the condescension from my adjustor is what's really pissing me off. I swear that the only difference between insurance companies and the mafia is that the mafia involves less paperwork.

Few things irritate me as much as biting my own tongue or lip while eating. Here I am enjoying a nice succulent Chinese meal, when for whatever reason my top lip decides to get in the way and become part of the meal. Now instead of the flavors of Peking duck, all I taste is blood and pain. How the #### has this little quirk slipped through the gates of evolution? Do other mammals have to put up with this bull#### when trying to eat?

If you work in customer service and you have a customer standing in front of you, ready to pay, do not answer the phone and start chatting with whoever just called. Put them on hold.

Auto parts places are very good about this, its basically the only thing I like about them. I always expect to get put on hold when I call about a part.

I pretty much dont trust them if they dont put me on hold.

If I'm calling about a part I want a human being to lay hands on it before telling me they have it.

[puffnstuff]

Thats the only reason I will call. Put your hands on that for me, put my name on it, print the bill, dont sell it to anyone else (if its the last one) and I will be right there to collect it.

YES! This is the only way to deal with parts places.

"Hey...do you have Brake Rotors for an F-150?"

The system says I have 12 so I might have 1, maybe 2. How many do you need?

And then yes. You get put on hold while I see what is actually there and personally and physically lay eyes and hands upon them.

Because the last thing I want is for a customer to show up to my counter and there are no Brake Rotors and then what? I'm all shoulders...what can I do?

And now I've got someone who has made the trip to the store, no parts, their vehicle is broken and I've now got to be face to face with someone who is "Stage 10 pissed."

No. I'd rather be sure they really exist first before the customer makes the trip.

Yeah, I'll throw your name on them if they're here. I'll even hide them so they're not sold before you get there

I hated that about Parts. The inventory system was atrociously flawed.

But I'm not in charge of inventory or ordering, theres nothing I can do about it other than, in my opinion, be honest. I'm not going to tell you to come and get it unless I KNOW its there. For sure.

Because nobody likes buying car parts. They're doing it because their car is broken, so they're going to be out money, they're going to be replacing these on their own time, they are inconvenienced because their car is broken, maybe they've had to bum rides or whatever and then over the phone they're told we've got lots when we have none and now I've got a seriously pissed off person in my face and all I can do is weather the maelstrom of (fairly deserved) bitching and screaming.

Any qualified Parts guy shouldnt have to learn this lesson more than once. Never trust 'The System' put your hands on the part before claiming you have it.

Dont even get me started on: "Uh..these rotors are old and used" because some clownshoes idiot in Customer Service returns took some old ones back but booked them into new inventory.

Damn that was a terrible job.
