What the fuck? Seriously the customer service is TERRIBLE. And now you have to pay for them to dick you around?

WTF? Are you buying some mega strong flavoured chips? If so, where do I get some.

Kryten · 15th July 2008, 13:25

This was some Bluebird Thin Cuts or whatever the newish ones are called. Someone doubled on the seasoning.

[sarcasm]Yeah, cause Telecom are so much better than vodafone![/sarcasm]

crocos · 15th July 2008, 16:25

"Much better"? No. "Better"? Yep, in this case.

Voda used to be the king of cellphone awesomness, but it's gone downhill a lot.

ZoSo · 15th July 2008, 16:29

Well they took over ihug, so was inevitable.

lektronimo · 15th July 2008, 16:40

I'm kinda jaded with VF as well. Been with ihug since 1995, had my 021 since 2000ish, yet there is no loyalty thing going, or some wicked good internet/cell/home phone plan. In fact, cell phone reception is pretty piss poor in my area and I miss a lot of important calls as a result... the moment Telecunt goes GSM, I might swap my sim card. Vodafone got too big, greedy and arrogant as a result - pretty much what Telecom was a year ago.

Yoda · 15th July 2008, 16:47

Yep Vodafone GMG atm too. Will certainly consider Telecom when their network is launched.

madmaxii · 15th July 2008, 17:31

Me too. VFNZ lost the plot as soon as they got more than 50% market share. They had been pushing for years to get to that point and when they did - WTF what do we do now? Ah - I know, now that we are the big boy let's act like one and screw the very people that got us here.

mr selfdestruct · 15th July 2008, 17:44

Do you get your money back if they don't actually solve your problem or even answer your question?

Driving between Levin and Wellington twice this morning($$$) I noticed the average open road speed has dropped to between 85 and 95 kph. It's understandable in this day and age as it reduces the amount of fuel but this one particular individual southbound.....

30 kph through Otaki...
70 to 80 kph open road south...
50kph through Te Horo(80kph limit) and then I could finally get past him with a long Hoooooooonk and a "I Would love to stab you in the face" glare. As tempting as it was to flip him the bird and scream obscenities as well, having my name on the vehicle and a handy 0800 number on the back(plus my number) could lead to trouble

I feel your pain. I drive between Otaki and Raumati twice a day 5 days a week, and I rarely get to travel at the legal speed. There are many many fuckwit drivers on the Kapiti Coast. Slow does NOT equal safe!! Mostly they scare me because, if they can't drive these long straight roads with 5kms freakin' visibility, confidently at 100kms or close to, then they're not fit to hold a license.

Delphinus · 15th July 2008, 23:56

I love the ones that when they are going straight through, and you're sitting at a give way, they stop to let you go... and I'm thinking ....wtf are you doing granny? Get a move on and lrn2right-of-way

crocos · 16th July 2008, 00:38

Fuck yes, especially when they realise - after you start to pull out after waiting fuck-knows how long - that they actually have right of way and then charge into the intersection.

Is this the same GF that has the same name that is in a movie coming out soon and you were planning on dumping her after you had the chance to mock her about it?

Gutted.

leadinjector · 16th July 2008, 10:15

Can you have a mental health day? Although working might be a good distraction.

leadinjector · 16th July 2008, 10:24

unfortunately cos i work at a gym my job involves being upbeat and friendly... not my two defining features right at the moment. but it has to be better than sitting at home going slowly more crazy

I always thought that one of the suckiest things about being in radio or TV would be 'pretending to be really happy' all the time when something really tragic happens in your life. You still have to have a really good sense of humour and act all happy and party time even when you're not feeling it :/

whats keeping me sane is that im pretty sure she just has jitters. needs some time away to realise how much she needs me etc, all that sappy shit. or thats what i keep telling myself so that i dont completely lose it

flic · 16th July 2008, 11:04

Or you could grow a spine and realise she's holding you to emotional ransom and if you take her back she will likely do it to you again. (as you've approved that kind of behaviour from her)

Healthy relationships last without all the drama of a million break-ups. Unless of course you're under the age of 20
