You have to treat them like over sensitive, coddled, 7 year old kids that have zero common sense and struggle with basic math. Truly the worst government service i have ever dealt with.

To be fair, most of the people they deal with are scumbags. Sucks when someone else gets lumped in with them.

The judge had some wonderful comments about how useless they were in my case, the case before she had the complete opposite problem where they imposed a decision Independent of the courts that made no sense. My case they refused to adjust without a court order - and took 18k more than they should have. (I have custody, they took 18k from my son)

Looks like I have to pay for another stay of enforcement and order to reinstate license, because MEP "didn't suspend it" but registries says MEP suspension.


But they're not incompetent. This is the second time in a year I've had to get the MLA office involved to resolve this.

People on Kijiji who want you to do their negotiating for them.

“What is your final price”

“Make me an offer”

“What is your final price”

“*list price on ad*”

*radio silence*

I swear it’s just a game for people who never had any intention of buying.

What they are actually asking is "What's your lowest price, so I can offer even lower, and then call you an asshole for saying no"

Oh I agree, I’m just not playing the game. And they are being chicken shit and not wanting to offer a dollar more than they need to.

In general it’s just a terrible situation overall.

Trying to search for wheels on Kijiji, and getting hundreds of the same promoted ad from some tire warehouse in Edmonton selling Chinese mud terrains. And no way to filter it out so you just get wheels.

This is how I handle this

“What is your final price”

“Make me an offer”

“What is your final price”

“*list price on ad* + 50% stupid tax”

*radio silence*

Yea that’s another way to do it lol

People that approach me and ask how much i'd sell my car for. Really, make an offer if you feel the need to ask. Some guy came to my door asking how much id sell my wheels for (he had the same car).

Also, people who get greasy fingerprints all the way up their utinsels. We invented forms & knives to avoid getting greasy hands in the first place.

Or if you are a library, WAAAAAY more! E-books are destroying library budgets.

Every "soap dish" beside the sink in recorded history.
You got one job, Mother Fucker! One! Instead you make the soap hyper-dissolve into a glue that welds the soap to your retarded ass and infuriates the human user enough that they go buy some stinky-fruit, liquid squeeze bottle and throw your useless ass in the trash! Do you not see what you're doing here! Men are using fluffy loofah things with girls' soap that smells like a gang rape at a berry farm all because you can't do your job.

No more! It's over and I have defeated you. I am keeping my bar of soap and you can go die in a fire.
Lee Valley Tools fingernail brush, upsidedown (bristles up). Holds soap forever. No mess.

[ExtraSlow]

Yeah man, that's the best soap dish, and best of all, when you need a nail brush, it's pre-soaped!

Fucking service advisors that either don't know their own shitty products, or are purposefully trying to sell you something you don't need.

Just give me a quote for what I asked for. Don't try and troubleshoot my problem over the phone and tell me I'm wrong, when there's 100 pages of forums with the exact same issue.

I feel like this describes virtually very service/call center. They typically have zero actual knowledge or interest in the product (same with most sales people), and are reading from a manual or brochure that only covers the most basic imaginable issues. I always think to myself that it's a huge waste of money having these centers that don't have the ability to help 99% of callers (maybe that's why so many are outsourced?), but I guess they need to have humans for customers to talk to. And to your point as well, they always seem surprised and unaware of any and all widespread issues, even if they have been making headlines haha.

I literally cut the guy off, and told him if he didn't know the common problems on his own product, I don't want them touching my vehicle, and hung up.

Another peeve... Jobs I can do myself, but really don't want to, but am too cheap to pay someone $2g to do for me.

Goddamn Chrysler transmissions.

When the threads I want to read are 75% people replying to the same user that I've had on ignore for ages. So I can either read his shitty posts, or abandon the thread.
