Random Fail: First World Problems

My best friend's mom has been a customer service rep for Nynex/Bell/Verizon for as long as I've known her (and my friend) which is at least 22 years. She had one story that I liked as a kid.

There was a guy trying to get help with setting up a new service in an apartment he was going to move into in NYC. He called to start the process of scheduling an appointment and all that shit. When it go to what apartment and floor he was on, he couldn't remember. He said it was "something 10;" he couldn't remember the floor he should have been on (i.e. 510 is the 5th floor).

My friend's mom was trying to be helpful. She asked him if he could picture what the number was on the door to his floor when he walked up, but he said he took the elevator. She asked if he could remember what number he pressed when he got on the elevator, but he couldn't remember other than it was on the left or something. She asked if he could look at a building directory, but he said they hadn't changed it yet because he hadn't moved in completely. She asked if he had a lease or something that he could look at, but he had misplaced it.

Finally, she got fed up. She said, "Sir, if you were to jump out your window, how many windows would you pass on the way down?" He responded "Oh, that's easy. Three."

Keep hitting down volume until it goes to Do Not Disturb.

either that or double swipe from the top and set DnD manually

I just hate how this changes literally every single time they update the Android OS.

Mine has never changed. Must be your phone plotting against you.

Noticed the new meme going around with the girl from Dr. Phil going "Cash me ousside how bout dah?". Made a mental note that she resembled Jada Stevens (porn star). Looked up the origin of the meme, the girl is 13.

I need some brain bleach.

That girl just needs to spend a night in the hood.

Just one.

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this

**Tyrath** · 2017-01-23 16:11

So clicking on youtube and it recommends collection of like 200 scores from ffxi. Sure why not. Just playing thru and somewhat tuning it out combined with actually doing things, zoning, turning music etc has left me shocked so many of these scores are longer than I realized (seriously figured most were 1-2 minute loops when a lot are more like 5-6 min) and that there were a lot more than I realized. This nostalgia trains has been going a good 4 hours now and I aint even 1/3 the way done. RIP my feels

A struggle we can all relate to

Power is out again from yesterday's storms. Posting this as I poop by candlelight and dread having to throw out my refridgerated foods yet again.

You and CS are like spiritual brothers now. Make sure your next piss is out the window.

**Melena** · 2017-01-23 21:33

Fuck my life. Get home, walk in the door, go to pick something up I knocked over and boom, random vertigo attack.

Saw a few more houses on Saturday and want to make an offer on one of them. It was a foreclosure so the price is pretty good for what it is. Catch is you need to get pre-qual'd through their lender before you can make an offer. Makes sense, I guess, since the bank is trying to sell it which means they could also get some more out of it if you use them as the lender.

We reached out to the contact on Sunday with an email. Followed up with calling, only to get voicemail. Still haven't heard back from them. Not a huge deal since it's only been a few days, and our realtor is getting us some more information, but getting pre-qual'd through them is only the first step in the process and we're already not getting a response.

Hoping it's not a sign of what's to come.

Years ago, I managed to lock my Google News "Featured News for You" setting so it would only show me Bruce Lee related news. If they didn't have any recent Bruce Lee news, it would just collapse and go away.

However, within the last two weeks it somehow revived itself and is trying to get me to tell me I'm interested in random other stuff.

Fuck you, Google News. I just want to hear about Bruce Lee.

Oh doctors and shit get really upset about that , several guests get offended if we don't call them "Dr." and correct us until we do. I get it , you spent a stupid amount of time on school and money but FFS you aren't better than me so fuck off.

You just humor them then laugh behind their back, because the ones who don't "need" the recognition are typically the good ones anyway.
