I have an irishman inside me....

fixed :3

And yeah mainly English/Scottish here with some convict and whaling captain. Not that being either of the first two prevents you from being either or both of the last two :P

And Pyro you are most correct, when not on top of your game/under the weather shit hits you so much harder.

Also someone said on Facebook you can get bacon flavoured vodka. I think if there was anything that was going to kill me that would be it so I shall stay away from it.


I've almost had a hurf on 1.5 beers.
Not even drunk, just really wasn't going down. Forcing it wasn't going to make it stay there.
Then again, never drink lion red anyway.

I once spewed after one beer, but I don't think that was drunkenness, because it was one quick power chuck while I was walking to the bus stop with a couple of friends, and after that chuck I was pretty well fine.

Totally smashing the beers one night, we were celebrating something. Felt weird and went to the bathroom and fully barfed all my beers up.

Then I felt fine.

Then I drank more.

One and only time I can say I have vommed and kept drinking.

Quote from: th3fairy;1333457

i emailed the rep involved after this and all my email says is:

hey dude, just wanted to say thank you for communicating with your customer about this hold up like i asked; i really enjoyed being abused and told to go fuck myself. awesome stuff.

that was all.

Not this email, but emails similar to this, are what end up spread across the internet making companies look bad. Your boss cannot afford to have his employees thinking they can reply like that to customers. There really is no reason to deviate from constantly professional emails. If you had a problem with his behaviour you should have emailed his bosses and made an official complaint.

Quote from: vedds;1333681
I think Fairy said she'd emailed the rep in her own company, rather than the customer.

But yes Fairy, regardless of whether the email was internal or external your manager has a duty to the shareholders of the business to pull you up on that email.
Down the track if you or even another employee were disciplined/fired for abusive communication or actions, that email could come back to haunt the company as tolerating abuse in the workplace if they havent acted on it.

But yeah i hate it when people wont take responsibility for their fuckups and just palm it off onto someone else.


I think you both skipped over the point Fairy was trying to make.

Quote from: th3fairy;1333457
i can understand being reprimanded for having the word fuck in my email, however this apparently wasnt the reason why. I dont see why i need to apologise and i dont have any intentions of apologising.

The email was not abusive to the guy. It was just explaining what his actions had put her through.
IMO if you're made to apologise Fairy, then he should also have to apologise to you, for putting you through that. Though his (in)actions he's subjecting you to abuse.

Wasn't only talking about the fuck part. Addressing the issue with a direct email and the tone of the email are both unnecessary. Is the guy abusing her wrong? HELL YES but that doesn't change Fairy's responsibility as a representative of her company.

When dealing with abusive customers there is no denying, that in most circumstances, you should just keep quiet and take the abuse. You gain nothing from reacting and you have the potential to lose everything

I think you're still confused.
forgive me if I'm wrong.

She did.
The email was sent to the guy inside her company who's customer (and responsibilty) it was.
Not to the customer.

I really wish that I could sometimes tell customers to go fuck themselves, but it really is just easier to shut up and ignore what ever they are saying. (if it is abusive and or incorrect).

'I'M TAKING THIS TO THE ACCC, THIS MOTHERBOARD'S PINS WERE BENT FROM THE FACTORY!! RAGE RAGE RAGE WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO WAIT 6 weeks (absolute maximum) for it to come back!!!11??//'

Because I'm sure that the manufacturers don't check mobos for this sort of shit before sending it out.

Nope! What'd be sad, would be going home, updating cod, and watching it update, at least now you can go home and play.
