I don't have the patience to work in customer service. My mom works for a bank call center and the sheer amount of BS that gets shoveled in your face is amazing, and you can't even be anything but polite in reply.

Today, I had a customer call in over some charges that he had called in earlier about. The notes stated that he had been explained that the charges were legitimate. He told ME that he didn't make the charges. I told him that there was no way of telling if he had made them or not. He then suggested that his phone was hacked and someone used it to make text messages. I again told him that wasn't possible. Then he told me his phone was lost, and that he had later found it. I inquired as to why he didn't report. He said because someone had returned it soon after. During this call, he told me I was a dumb b , a stupid broad, a f b as well as a pothead who was on drugs...and a whole bunch of other things. I didn't respond to it in any manner other than to remind him that the charges were legitimate. He then hung up.
Normally, someone calls me names... whatever. But geez.

I can deal with the public, but not in that kind of environment. At the library, if you did that, you'd just be banned, and good riddance.

Yep! My standard response has to be "I'm sorry you feel that way."

Ouch, Kayte.
I once tried to suggest to the customer he might have set settings incorrectly. x_x

Clearly, then, the company should buy its own products, thus becoming a customer.

Home Depot delivered our new dryer yesterday, but it wouldn't fit through the laundry room door, no matter what way we turned it, so they took it back and the landlord has ordered a smaller one. It shall arrive tomorrow. Until then....sneaking into the campus dorm landromat, because it's cheaper than normal laundromats.....

I found this one now:
Hitori Kakurenbo or Hide and Seek Alone
QUOTE
You need:
- A doll with legs. Not a human doll, since there's a great possibilty that the spirit will not leave the doll. Don't use a doll that you like because of the same reason. The doll will be a place for the spirit to come.
- Rice. The spirit that eats this offering is said to grow stronger.
- Red thread. This later symbolizes blood and acts as a restraint.
- Something from your body. It's usually fingernails, but some use their own blood, skin, hair, etc. It becomes a curse if you use someone else's body parts.
- Weapon. Something to stab the doll so that you can anger it. Real knives are dangerous, so most people use pencil or needle.
- Salt/Saltwater or alcohol. Without this, the game won't end. The material is used to get rid of the spirit.
- Safety place. You NEED a safe sanctuary, somewhere preferably with lots of crosses, god statues, etc.
- A name. Giving the spirit a name is the most powerful thing a human can give to the spirit. Names give spirits great power.
Method:
1.Cut the doll and replace the foam/stuffing with rice.
2. Place something from your body into the doll.
3. Wrap the doll with a red thread as if to hinder(stop) the doll.
4. In a bathroom, pour water onto a large washbasin and find a place to hide.
5. Place a cup of salt water in the place before starting the game.
To play:
Start at 3 AM, since that is the time where spirits are the most free to move.
Give the doll a name (for example: Bob).
When the clock strikes 3, close your eyes and say, "First tagger is (doll name)! First tagger is (doll name)! First tagger is (doll name)!"
When talking to the doll, you MUST talk sternly.
Now go to the bathroom and place the doll in the washbasin.
Turn off all lights.
Close your eyes and count to 10, get your prepared weapon and go to the bathroom.
Go to the doll in the washbasin and say
"I found you (doll name)!"
And stab the doll.
After that, close your eyes again and say
"Now (doll name) is it! Now (doll name) is it! Now (doll name) is it!"
Place the weapon next to the doll and go to your hiding (safety) place. You MUST lock the door.
Also, lock all windows and doors.
Place the salt water in your mouth. DO NOT SPIT IT OUT. The salt water will protect you from the spirit.
To end the game:
When you want to end the game, take leftover salt water or alcohol and find the doll.
The doll may not be in the bathroom. (There are instances of the doll being outside).
When you find the doll, spit out the salt water and spray the leftover.
Close your eyes and shout
"I win! I win! I win!"
The doll will give up.
It is advised to burn the doll after the game.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
-You MUST play this game alone. If more than one person does this at the same time, there's a great chance that someone will be possessed.
- Do NOT go outside the house.
- Keep the game under 2 hours. After this time, the spirit will be too strong to remove.
- When hiding, you MUST be silent.
- Turn off all electronics before starting.
- When running away, do NOT look back. Only look forward. And don't sleep while playing - the doll may stab you.
- When discovered by the doll, you can get a small wound or be possessed. When the doll finds you, your weapon will be around the floor or in your pocket, so you must be careful.
- After the game is over, it is important to clean up properly. Spray salt on every corner of the house, especially places where you put the doll and where you found it. Salt scares away any spirits.
Experiences:
People say that usually the TV flips channels on its own, perfectly normal lights flicker, the TV volume seems to change (if you left TV and other lights on), doors seem to open and shut on their own, or you can hear the sound of laughter. Often when the doll is found, it's away from the its original spot. Sometimes, the demons actually chase after your spot and demand that you come out.

My boyfriend has not talked to me since Friday last week.
It is now Wednesday.
And last night he decided that he was single on Facebook. No talking to me, no message, no text. Nada.
And I knew he was online since he was posting on mutual friends walls/posts.
I actually just want to break things now.
EDIT: We would have been together exactly 7 months today. o.o
