Rant Thread II

[Saya]

When I worked with Rogers I'd get calls all the time from people confused that they were sent to collections, but for us, when accounts were sold to collections, all our info was purged or at least is not accessible to most CSRs. I do believe the only way to really track it down is if the credit bureau can help or until the collection agency tracks you down themselves, which sucks. And since you're only dealing with the collection agency, I don't think you can really dispute the charge unless you kept documentation that the account was level when you cancelled.

Hey, do we have any recourse when some douche refuses to cease private-messaging after being distinctly told to stay the fuck out of one's inbox?

Even when that person is trying to help you arrive at an answer to the problems you have expressed ?

[ape descendant]

Go fuck yourself, I asked you to quit pm-ming me. I don't appreciate your harassment.

Why is it that you get angry when I haven't said anything out of the way?

[Miss Absynthe]

The fact that a person told you to stop contacting them and that you continued to do it is "out of the way". IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU TO LEAVE THEM ALONE YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO LEAVE THEM ALONE.

What the fuck is it about BASIC consent that people just can not seem to get? Stop acting so fucking entitled.

You're right,I shouldn't have tried to help someone gain insight on something that can help them as well as others out.

[Miss Absynthe]

No. You shouldn't have.. especially when told by them to leave them alone.

Yeah I'm such an asshole for trying to get them to see a point that they themselves typed out in a response.

I guess I should just let lazy whining morons be lazy whining morons.


And enjoy their failures at every turn.

My cockend neighbour tried to stop my CPN getting in to see me today. Apparently she mistakenly rang his doorbell instead of mine so he went out and told her to go away and that she couldn't come in. I had to go out and tell him to get lost and it ended up with my CPN threatening to call the police as he was preventing her from making an urgent visit. I have been really sick lately so it was urgent that I see her but nooooooooooooooo, dickcheese neighbour is outraged by a simple mistake, so much so that he tries to deny me much needed medical care.

Thank you!! Some people never learned about basic boundaries, even though its pretty much Human Interaction 101.

Shower fail this morning -
pick up bottle and put conditioner in hand... bugger, wrong one.
pick up bottle and put shampoo in hand... wash hair.
rinse.
pick up bottle and put shampoo in hand... fuck, wrong one again.
pick up bottle and put shampoo in hand... goddamnit.. are you fucking kidding me??!
pick up bottle and put conditioner in hand... condition hair.
rinse...
...

...forget what you're up to..

...pick up bottle and put conditioner in hand, just in case that was shampoo and put in hand.
...apply to hair only to discover it was shampoo after all.
...

pick up bottle and put conditioner in hand... condition hair.

C'MON SELF! PULL YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!

I think if you put them on your ignore list it blocks messages, but I'm honestly not 100% positive.

Also Miss A, I do that all the time. I've accidentally put my body wash in my hair and put hair gel on my toothbrush before.

Dealing with Troublesome Users

Can I block posts, emails and messages from specific users?

If there are particular members that bother you and you do not want to see their posts or receive Private Messages and Emails from them, then you can add these members to your 'Ignore List'. There are several ways to do this:

Through your User Control Panel: User CP, Settings & Options, Edit Ignore List. Then, type their name into the empty text box and click 'Okay'.

What if I see something offensive?

You will find 'Report' links in many places throughout the board. These links allow you to alert the board staff to anything which you find to be offensive, objectionable or illegal.

[ape descendant]

Thanks guys, I had forgotten about that feature.

[Jonathan]

..and no, you shouldn't have to use it.

"I don't wanna talk about this anymore" is where well adjusted people go "Oh ok, peace" instead of being obnoxious.

But it's there if you need it.

[Miss Absynthe]

Ape - saw this and thought you could use it...

What the actual fuck??

Damn... I know our species is capable of some severely messed-up shit... but the everyday acts of petty cruelty are pretty fucking amazing sometimes, too. Cunting arsehole. I hope he gets dysentery.

How is the chest, anyway, MC? Hope you're feeling better.

The chest is (touch wood) ok at the minute. They've determined that I do in fact have asthma so they are looking at that being the root cause of my constant chest infections. Just waiting on results from blood tests and a chest x-ray to come back. Hopefully, once they've worked out how bad my asthma is and how best to treat it, I shouldn't be ill as much. I'll just have to be a bit more careful about what I do in terms of not setting the asthma off.

[CuckooTuli]

That's good. Hope they fix you up soon - I just got over a pretty minor chest infection, & was struck by how hard you forget how grim it is having trouble breathing until something comes along and fucks you in the lungs. :s

[MissCheyenne]

It's pretty brutal. Especially when you haven't had a clear week in six months. I'm just glad I took people's advice and asked to see a different doctor. He was very concerned that nothing had been investigated in the whole six months and that I'd just kept being given antibiotics and sent away only to rock up a week later still ill. At least they are doing something now.

[Jaye Jang]

My dear MC,

I'm so glad you have a doctor who is finally doing something for you. What a relief! I think I can safely assume that if you do have asthma they have run ABGs (arterial blood gases) and done PFTs (pulmonary function tests). If it turns out to be asthma, being a long-time asthmatic myself, your doctor should explain to you that asthma is also called RAD (reactive airways disease), so you might also be sent to an allergist to see what is causing the reaction. I hope you have better luck than I did. I went for 2 years before it was diagnosed. (Even had a, now thankfully, ex-nurse ask me how I could sit in their lobby and turn blue and scare the other patients!). Two things you will probably inherit if it is asthma. An AeroChamber (for your inhalants-- to get them into your lungs faster) and a peak flow meter (metre, since you are British after all). The peak flow metre is VERY important. You will find out what your baseline peak flows are and then any time they are below, via the meter, you will need to use your rescue breathers. If they go too far below, you will need to call in. Okay. Now you know why asthma is called the 'pain in the neck' disease. It is, but it is survivable. Good luck.

Fuck yeah, nice cup of racism to sip on all day.
