 A 1%'er went off on my daughter today: "I am a medical field executive and I drive a Lexus.."

She is an asst manager at our local movie theater and often takes calls from customers who wish to voice their complaints/concerns.

She took a call from a guy who wanted to tell her how upset he was about people's cell phones being used during movies..ok, fine, valid concern (though, he was not in the theater at the time, he called up to complain).

She listened to him and said, you know, please come out and tell us if you are in a theater and someone does that, we will tell them to stop or leave". He kept going on and on, telling her how bothersome it is to "leave the movie, miss parts of it, find someone to tell.."
She again said that they will try to quickly resolve any problems he has if he is at the theater and has problems.

He then went all 1 percent on her: "I am an executive in the medical field, I drive a Lexus, I shouldn't be having to put up with this...you all should have cell phone jammers in the theater so people can't use their cell phones, I want to talk to a manager!"


My daughter: "sir, I am a manager"

Guy: "Don't get arrogant with me...."


She wanted to reach thru the phone and slap him. Not because he didn't have a valid concern about cell phone disturbances but because of his whole "I drive a Lexus and shouldn't have to..." bullshit.


She's told me some pretty unusual customers stories ---like the lady today who lost her $100 theater gift card she was given for Xmas and was insisting the theater owed her a new, free one to make up for the lost one---um, NO...the theater can't cancel the old one like a credit or debit card and issue you a new one for free. She couldn't seem to get that thru to the lady. In the end, she ended up giving the woman 4 theater passes to use the next time she goes to the theater but NO 2nd $100 gift card for free-- but this Lexus driver guy tops them all.

If true, highly doubtful, this would be a liberal bragging about their wealth. Look at the DUmp for proof of this.

This is exactly what a DUmbass would do and has done their entire life. I made a bad decision or mistake. Now everybody else pay for it!!!!!1111!!!eleventy

BATAVIA, N.Y. (Democrat & Chronicle) - A woman spent her Christmas in jail, after she allegedly punched a Walmart greeter as she left the store on Christmas Eve.

Jacquetta Simmons, 26, was charged with two counts of second-degree assault, State Police Trooper Tracy Patterson said. She faces a second count because the victim, Grace Suozzi, 70, is older than 65.

Patterson said Simmons is accused of punching and knocking down Suozzi at 11:23 a.m. after the employee asked Simmons to see receipts for items the customer was carrying in store bags.

Wait, so 1% drive Lexus's?  Seriously?  I can afford a Lexus.  It's not really a rich person's car.  It's an overpriced Toyota.

Dumb shit.

It's funny.

When I "managed" the service counter at the local instance of a major nationwide retailer - it was always the dirty scruffy looking people toting a herd of misbehaving urchins who were the biggest assholes. Demanding free shit, screaming abuse at me , the store , the product and generally blaming everyone else for their problems in life. I generally assumed they were leftist filth for that alone.

I'm thinking the roles have been reversed in this tale somehow, and that "drug dealing vermin" was changed to "executive in the medical field".

Wow, now they even remember other people's bouncies word for word. Still this isn't even a good one. No one is going to say this. No one. And why didn't a cop jump out from behind the theater curtain while the guy was there? Why would anyone even expect a theater to have cell phone blocking equipment. Airplanes don't even have them (else one wouldn't have to turn them off) and the technology on them is much more sophisticated.

Most car makers make expensive models.  I've owned a couple of Nissan's, but never a $90k Nissan GT-R. 

I'm sure the Lexus in the bouncy was probably just a typical sedan.

The low end Lexus sedan starts in the mid-thirties.   

Boston is full of the 90K Lexus SUVs.

I don't think I have ever seen one, and I lived in the Hamptons on LI (where Land Rover is king).   

Mercedes and Lexus SUVs are very commonplace in eastern MA.

Here in red state hell, I see Rolls Royces, Ferraris, and a week or so ago, a Maserati.

And that's in a right-to-work state.
 
Just think what those people would be driving if they had a union.

Of course, these days it's easy to drop over $50K on a bass boat.

I could tell you stories from dealing with customer complaints - but assorted NDA's prevent that. But I will say this - the most heated, hateful complaints almost never come from the so-called '1%ers' - they come from welfare kings and queens who demand free crap - and threaten to sue if they don't get free crap.

Two stories - sanitized to protect the customers and the companies involved.

A ) Company, you used to give me free bonus vouchers every month through the mail, why did you stop ?
-Well, you are only entitled to one voucher, and it was our mistake. We are however going to honor all of the vouchers we sent.
-Oh yeah ? well guess what, Company.. those vouchers are now considered part of my income, and if I don't get one now, Ima gonna sue.

B ) Company, why are you no longer providing me goods and services ?
-It seems here you haven't paid for the goods and services you have received, so we had no choice but to suspend further delivery.
-Oh yeah ? well, I'm disabled, and you are in violation of the Americans with Disabilities act, and now Ima gonna sue...

The substance of both of these are true, I just did my best to remove any identifiable details.

There was a Rolls parked outside of the Bellagio the weekend my best friend came to town.  It was so gorgeous.  I can't remember the model off hand.  I think it was the Silver Ghost, but I have no idea.  We don't see those kind of cars around here often.  There are a lot of Lamborghini's running around though.

Idiots, one makes the complaint at the time of the infraction, not a few days later.

I have not been to a movie theater in years but I do remember old time " Down In Front" yells from movie goers that had the screen blocked. Never had to walk out on a movie because of others actions, but were I to incounter that problem today, I would march to the Manager and request tickets to another showing of that movie and I would do so within the first 15 minutes of the movie not wait for the 3 rd. reel.

On the other hand, I have acquainteces that serve at complaint and return desks that tell of horrid things the customers do to make their job a bundle of joy.

I am mulling what to do with the Xbox we bought.  It came looking like it was factory packed but the 2 games we should have recieved one was missing.   Also some vital instructions on set up.    No way are we to complain, we eat the loss, sometimes it is better to except and buy else where in the future than to make a big stink of a $20.00 missing piece.    Besides if we return the Xbox it will just be restocked to look factory new and some other person will buy the darn thing.

Why am I thinking of Teddy Kennedy and his " Do You Know Who I Am" at this point.????

I drive a LEXUS.......NOT

I wish I could buy a new 1970 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup truck just like the one I bought in 1970. You had to crank the windows up and down by hand, smash the button to lock the doors by hand, change the gears by hand, put out some effort to steer and brake, pull a lever and push or pull to move the seat, didn't have to spend months studying the owners maual on how to operate the radio/clock/heater/etc. and if it quit on you, you didn't need to call a rollback to haul it to a nerd with a laptop to find out he doesn't know why it quit either.

I learned my lesson, Jeep and Kia have hand cranked windows, 5 speed clutch,   hard to steal as few today know how to operate a manual.    My autos are for transportation, seldom spend but an hour or so in each.   

Once the all automatics go off the road into a water filled area, no way to escape, battery dead, windows do not work.

Jeep has a few more gizmos to contend with, a plug to keep the oil warm in subzero tempertures and an engine right up top easy to get to and repair hoses and belts.  Blow a fuse, easy to get to replace, leave the top down and a rain storm comes in, there are plugs in the floor to drain out the water, most all on dashboard is water proof.

Love my Jeep, whe have pulled boats and trailors with little problem, plowed through snow and sand banks easy as can be.       

What I need now due to my disability is an Automatic transmission without all the goodies.   Roll down windows regular smash down locks on the door, just a car that has no computer and I can find a shade tree mechenic to replace a hose or water pump, change spark plugs or rebuild the carborater with the kits I saw being used years ago  if needed.

I must have missed that bouncy.

I wonder what a DUmmie would say about me.  I have a whole binder full of coupons.  My typical shopping trip has me pulling up to a CVS in an 11 y/o Jaguar.  I don't throw tantrums in stores though.  I stick to myself, pay for my goods and then leave.  If I am at Walmart, I tell the panhandlers to get a job if they start bugging me.
