Vexed — Thu, 28 May 2026 03:20:10 GMT

After the influx of complaints lately, I thought we could use a few laughs about the subject.

What ones can you find?

[5/28/26] Okay @Vexed , I am sure this thread will "disappear or get edited" in about an hour, but here are my contributions BEFORE I start to get ready to head to Staples (4 $5 eGiftcards). My 1st time of using my AARP eGiftcards (for points) in a store. Used my $10 one on Amazon when I had "broken" my ankle in December 2025 for a Hand-Held Shower Head setup. Got it FREE with a couple of leftover dollars applied to my Prime monthly bill. 💃👍🙃 Wish me luck! 🤞

Customer service is the art of smiling while repeatedly explaining that "yes, turning it off and on again" is actually the master key to the universe.

"I am enjoying reading these so thanks for the great idea! Maybe we should run a thread on "excuses" people use that they have to drive way too fast and aggressive. We can make them up. EG: I am driving so crazy because I really want to get to that red light before you.

" I work in customer service. My headset hears more drama than reality TV."

Then my own one, I set my VM up on my phone for the max message. It is a 2 minute message of just noises. If someone has the patience to wait that all out and then leave a message, I might actually listen to their message.
