Haolian Bastards.

I was reminded of these unique bunch of middle-aged idiots who think their bloody english makes the world revolve on their heads on a bus on 161.
I was sitting on a slow-moving 161 when the bus was held up for 10 min at a bus-stop in Hougang. The problem? Unknown. What amused me though was his use of "Waste of my time!", and get this! He spent 3 mins trying to get his handphone to take an award-winning pic of the bus license plate in the bus, then spent 5 min using immaculate english to speak to the driver, who looked rather exasperated.
He then took a seat in the bus as though nothing happened, looking smugged about wasting my time.
And the worst part is that........there are a lot of such sad sods around who thinks that "customers are always right". Back in the days when I was working temp distributing free PCs/laptops, the ones who invariably give us headaches are folks like him.
Case 1: Middle-aged bastard who came at 1700 on Sat, 5 hrs after closing time. Swaggered in, and promptly declared that he will not sign the documents until he's seen that the laptops was undamaged (fair enough). But he's checking was a tedious affair, poking the laptop, opening it up, essentially taking 30 min prying, poking, before he signed with a I-am-so-damn-smart face.
Case 2: English speaking auntie who on being told that we don't provide carriers, promptly created a scene.
Case 3: English speaking auntie who complained with my name attached saying she doesn't want to speak to me ever again.
Why? Because I was firm and told her nicely that when I say you come down on 17/2 (let's say), please cooperate by coming down, or at worst, we can always call you again if you don't turn up that day. Well, folks like her always insist the same, "customer is right", and said that she has the "right" to turn up when she liked. When I re-emphasised the importance of cooperating, she slammed the phone and I got the complaint.
There are so many cases where I've been shouted at, abused and you know what? They are all english speaking kiasu middle-aged bastards. And in the words of my former supervisor and colleagues, they should really "go fuck spider". -
go fuck spider x2!

Give him a new laptop. After he finishes poking and sign the damn document, change the laptop to a very old one.

Call the guards lah.

Tell her "If you have the rights to come anytime she likes, I have the rights to ignore you." and "you're right, I'm left. Damn straight!" -
New laptop? Cannot lah........anyway, spoil no spoil not my problem. I'm not working for the com company. If you want free stuff, be prepared to take things into your hands. i.e. Who asked you to be cheapskate?Originally posted by aku1b0d0:Case 1: Middle-aged bastard who came at 1700 on Sat, 5 hrs after closing time.

Call guard? The irony is the guard himself got the complaint when he mentioned that the bus-stop is certainly not "1000 li away". -

I work at a Call center before and was handling bills. I got a call from some customer asking why her line was cut. I told her it was because she had outstanding of about $80 and she never pay for 2months. Then she start to get angry and try to use her cheem english on me saying something like "Its just 80bucks, why must cut?" Then proceed to scold me like is I owe her the money lidat.
Seriously, you don't pay money what do you expect? We run charity ah? Lucky the english I use can be more cheem than her so she stun abit. After that ask my name in a threatening I-will-complain-you voice.
How many idiots are there around...lol -
