KGB Posted 15February, 2016 Report Share Posted 15February, 2016 bloody Russians (not you KGB)I get regular random emails from people sending me invoices, or proposals and i have learnt to just dump them, but yesterday they lucked out and actually used a clients name. A bit distracted with other shit going on i just clicked on the 'invoice.'took about 5 minutes to realize a third of our entire work network had been encrypted and the ruskis were emailing me asking for money! Allow me to make some inquiries on your behalf.... symsy, tazzieman and turboT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 16February, 2016 Report Share Posted 16February, 2016 Some young men of a certain grouping think they own whatever place they happen to be in at the time, and in general is of the opinion their digestives product contains nothing but fragrance.spent some time living alongside families of that type. Little boys of about 8 walking along with the chest puffed out while mum struggles along 5 meters behind carrying all the bags. Junior would occasionally chip mum for walking too slow.i have no respect for a culture that treats their women like that. So good on you for not bein a jelly back scared to offend. You are brave stirring up shite in an airport terminal. If emotions take hold , expect a couple of burly fellows (or ladies) to delay your flight. Doesn't matter how rich or important you are , say my contacts. The airline & security industry is "tense".And especially don't stir things up in a non-English speaking country. recently went through this myself.nowhere on airport property should you expect anyone to use judgment, common sense or accept even the slightest bit of Aussie larrakin humor. And I'm not talking about the security lines, I'm talking everyone from the parking guys to the terminal cleaners.The only ones without a personality lobotomy seem to be the pilots.

LeeM Posted 16February, 2016 Report Share Posted 16February, 2016 I'm all for live and let live. No matter what or who you are, I'll cut you some slack, yet when confronted as I was today (and I thought it was going to get very ugly with the big fella son, but he would've got a big surprise and a headache! ) I refuse to just give in and accept defeat. Especially to those kind of arrogant neanderthals. ANYONE, regardless of age damaging my property will receive a rather stern talking to, and hand on heart, if that was my Porsche he kicked today, he wouldn't be eating any solid foods for quite a while! Oh, and the limited English speaking client was a pain in the arse too! To top my day off, my second job was in a less than salubrious area, and my van was broken into damaging the door lock whilst I was in the house working, and they flogged a bunch of change I had in the dash coin box. Time for a scotch and play with the dog to forget about the day ANF and BAFE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for a scotch and play with the dog to forget about the day We had a nasty experience with an arrogant jerk when we were moving into our house. We had some friends and family helping, and I hired a small removal truck. One of the friends had a station wagon, so they brought some stuff over, unloaded, and then parked the car out on the street. I was reversing the truck in when this woman came over, looking all determined. I was pretty sure I knew what was coming. I said hi, I'm Stewart. She didn't introduce herself, but instead launched at me with "how long is that car going to be parked there?" I said, we're just going to unload this gear, then we're heading off, so 1/2 hour ought to do it. In a huff, she turned and walked away. So my dad & I were in the back of the truck unloading stuff, when this rude old bastard comes over and launches one at my wife, who was sitting in her wheelchair enjoying the sunshine. "You said that car would be gone in 1/2 an hour. I want it moved now". This must have been 30 minutes and 10 seconds after the obnoxious woman approached me. Wife got quite upset because he was yelling at her. Dad & I looked out to see what was going on. Then this bloke starts carrying on. "I WANT THAT F'ING CAR MOVED NOW". He looked like he was going to blow a gasket. My dad says Don't talk to us like that. Who are you anyway? Go away. My old man grew up in troubled times as a kid, and as a result, he doesn't cop crap from anyone. He would have made a great prize fighter. Then the bloke starts to threaten me with violence. Swearing, insults, etc. I'm talking threats to break my neck and stuff. I told him to "go away" or I will ring the cops. Dad goes "if I was 10 years younger I'd punch you in the nose". Lol. By now, my wife is bawling her eyes out and yelling at this bloke. He storms off, but before he leaves my driveway he turns around and says "Whats her problem? F'ing invalid". So my friend said he'd go move his car. Words exchanged between friend and ahole on the street before friend moves his car. Then this prick parks a mobile home there. Turns out that he doesn't even live there. It's his daughter and her husband. So a few weeks later, my wife & I were outside. Her in her wheels, & me washing the 911. Woman comes over and, no apology or anything, tries to be all nice. " Hi, I'm from over there, number 12." Wife says "oh are you? Well how about you f off back over there then". I had to hi five her on that one. It took a good 12 months for the "man" of the house to build up the balls to speak to me, but still no acknowledgement or apology for the old dude upsetting my wife. I still keep an eye out for his motor home. One day I might just mention it over a beer. ANF, LeeM, ByronBayChris and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have just laughed and smiled and said 'yeah we will move it when we're done, you could give us a hand to make it go faster if you like'.the one thing an angry rager hates is lauger and mocking. It makes all their pent up rage look ridiculous, because it is.just treat people like this the same way as you would a toddler throwing a tantrum. Never give in, and never stoop to their level. Because ultimately they are just toddlers throwing tantrums to get their way.If they want to get violent get someone to produce a phone with a 'hang on, this should be good'. Shuts things down pretty quick. LeeM, Peter M and Stew F 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
