Mark

where was this???

Ask them if you can speak to a grown up.

Penni,
You should definately post up where/who this company is, these people have to learn.
Companies like this are almost certainly the same ones that lack customer care in other areas.
If they are part of a chain or a franchise we could get them into serious s**t.

Penni

What are MSPs?

They sound more like patronising dickheads.

Where was this ?
Let us know so we can make sure no scoob owners create any difficult problems for our two moronic friends. A letter to the manager would be a good idea.

Penni

Don't you mean MCP's

Charles

I'm ashamed to say .. LOL

It's taken half an hour to click but I now know what a MCP is, in fact I think I might be one!

If you think this is funny then you may be one too!

Penni,

Despite moving from cave to house and from beating with club to spouting crap , man has not developed much.

Ignore them and paste them next time you pull up next to their Nova at the traffic lights.(Nova undoubtedly with 18" rims and wide rubber to harness all 995cc.)

Touche

I posted the story - not so much because I'm pissed off - but because it's a constant source of entertainment - some men not being able to accept -

....love drives 'im presss 'za..

Iron bars too good for them, and funny thing there was a Nova fitting that description in their forecourt..

I just love it... lol http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Dear Penni,
I know its cruel, but I had to laugh at your story, not because of how you were treated, but becuase of how I imagined your blood must have been boiling! All I can say is - lucky for them you didn't have a tyre iron in your hand! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

I now have this wonderful picture in my mind of you taking back with you all these kind men who are offering, with them all dressed in black, wearing sunglasses with slicked back hair (about five should do!), all standing behind you in total silence with their hands clasped in front of them (a la "the management" style!). And you saying "About those wheels, now what colour was it that I wanted...?"
LOL
Mike

Andy,
That was v. funny, will print that off to show my mates!
LOL
Mike

Penni,

If it happens again calmly place both hands on the counter, lean forwards and say:

"Is this some male c*nts joke us female c*nts don't get? 'Cos I'm not ****ing laughing!"

Hi Penni

Here's what you should've done: offer to take them for a "brisk" spin around the locality. They might have realised that being an Impreza enthusiast isn't a function of chromosome-count.

Better luck next time

AndyMc...

sorry to be a pedant but most cash tills have logic inbuilt that will not dispense the cash/receipt until the card is first removed - still very amusing though...

...endured a comparable incident recently at local
'safeburys' - person concerned was confused as to why the machine kept refusing the in-store loyalty card that was being shoved in instead of a cashtill card - I tried not to look impatient while standing behind - why do such people always finish one transaction, let the machine give the card back, and then insert it again to do the next transaction?

next prejudice - grannies who go to the post-office at lunchtime and hold up all the people who are on their lunch break... since incontinence forces them to get up at the crack of dawn, why the heck do they have to collect their pensions at 12:00 ???

cheers,

Paul W, in intolerant mode

Ahhh but Sexist isn't http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

oh dear.... does ' luv drives im presss sa bug you as well..... I stand corrected....
slapped wrist and off I go...chill babe it's only a story..... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Please don't be offended.

It's CONDESCENDING not CONDESENDING !
