Gripe thread

nic · Post by **nic** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 5:36 pm

gosh, i love ANZ tbh.
i really like the blue they use and how easy they are to deal with. (at the moment)
maybe a year of barclays and non existent uk customer service has desensitized me to the top notch service I really deserve.

WITTY- PM for haircuts.
1 pinga / longneck / durrie and me with some crinkle cut scissors will have you looking top notch in 'no time'
no money back guarantee (i.e you pay me twice what you normally pay and i wont draw blood from head)

My new hairdressers is amazing PM's sent!

On the gripe note my uni has decided that medical certificates are not acceptable for not turning up when something is due or an exam is to be sat, they will be consided as part of a "case" you must build (not sure what else your supposed to provide,urine sample perhaps?).

Also certificates must be presented on the day at uni that you are to ill to attend to even be consided for your "case". I was told if you cant make it in to "get a family member to bring it in or have it couriered" both ideas are impossible for me.

The whole idea of not accepting certificates does not seem right........

That sounds extremely stupid. The medical certificate CERTIFIES that a DOCTOR has concluded you are TOO ILL to come in.

This upsets me no end...

200 teenagers in Boston were surveyed about Rihanna and Chris Brown, and 46 percent said Rihanna was responsible for her assault. More than half said the media was treating Brown unfairly. The survey was conducted by the New York City Chamber of Commerce. (source = boston.com)

So this is what the next gen thinks about violence towards women? I'm appalled

nic · Post by **nic** » Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:39 pm

teens like it rough
getting beaten up by chris brown is a common erotic fantasy afaik

After going for a interview for a different position last week, I think I have it in my head that I hate my new job (after not minding it previously).

So now I am sitting at my desk counting the minutes, and posting on mb. And they have moved me to a new desk/computer and I cant find any of the work i have done meh

witty_pseudonym · Post by **witty_pseudonym** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 11:07 am

I think i've been ripped off on an internet shopping site.
FUCK!!!!
Just found a blog saying that the site send fake products, and it's been nearly 4 weeks since the payment cleared and i still haven't received what I ordered. How long do these things usually take?
I think I'll have to lodge a complaint with PayPal. Hopefully I can at least get my money back.
Burned for life.
Never again.

Got bitten by a spider on the weekend on the back of my leg, red raised bumps. Now my legs been stiff for three days, and I had to get off the tram this morning because my legs went wobbly and I thought I was going to faint.

Doctor tonight for me.

tell them what happened mate, I'm sure they'll slot you in. If not - they're a shit doctor IMO.

Some spider venom can do irrepairable damage.

worst doctor ever, gave me a tetnaus shot, and a prescription for the "pain" of the bite after I assured her that the actual bite itself did not hurt. Told me that dizzyness would not be related to the bite and got me to have a blood test meh.

Whaddaya mean, now you've got the pain and dizziness from the tetanus shot to distract you

Serial, the bad spiders, you'd already know by now. The dizziness probably was unrelated...
