that reminds me. I onced ordered phone covers on ebay. 3 days after purchase I get an email saying the phone covers are out of stock and that I will get my money back within 24hrs. 3 days later still no money. So I send them an email and the same day I get a msg back saying that my money HAD already been returned. So I re-check. But no still no money. I email them again and I wait 3 days but still no email from them. I send them another email saying I will be leaving negative feedback. 2 days later no email. So I left negative feedback. Worst 15$ ever!

This is why I don't order from people that don't have certain ratings or good feedback.

@Eric: hahaha. I can see you throwing your laptop :P

Rant: my parents. They're here to help but heaven forbid if I do do something they don't approve of I get b#tched at for a hour it seems. It drives me nuts! But I guess they love me....

Scam Artists that seemingly have a legitimate practice but don't. They find people that have a disease that there is no cure for yet and tell them they have something completely different than what they've been told and that they can help make them better.

Colorados highways and streets. Especially all the new repaved sections. New Mexico had done basically every street in Albequerque and I-25 and not a single random dip, no rocks/residue, and their transitions from old streets to new were smooth. Why can't they do that here. Everything was smooth.

The guy has 10 positive feedback ratings and 0 negative ones, and 3 of the feedback ratings where within the last month. One person did mention a "slight delay" in shipping, but someone else said he was prompt and on time for the meet up when he bought something locally, so I figured it would be okay. I see no reason for there to be a full 5 day delay between payment and shipping, and no tracking number. First he said I would get them by Tuesday, and last time he said he thought they were supposed to be delivered by the end of the day Monday. I'll believe it when I see it. Last time I PMd him about the tracking number, he said he misplaced the receipt with the number on it. If I don't get any floor mats by Friday, I'm filing a paypal dispute to get my money back.

The guy I ordered from had 97.something% feedback, and I think I ordered from him before and had a good experience last time, so I figured it would be OK. I mean, if they needed to make the spacers, or if there was some other valid reason for delay and they had just TOLD me, I would have been fine. It just pisses me off that I don't get an apology OR explanation, only "hey, they just so happened to ship the day after you emailed". Gimme a break.

Also, when a cop pushes his way in behind you between you and your friend following you, and then follows you for several miles through several turns, and then ends up turning off and leaving you be...AND you didn't do anything wrong in the first place. If I'd done something wrong, I would be SUPER happy that he just turned off. But since I didn't do anything wrong and this prick harassed me for several miles, I'd like an explanation lol.

More TP?

kingtut · Postby **kingtut** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:14

Funny you should say that. I really prefer Member's Mark (Sam's) TP over that of Kirkland (Costco). But alas, I use Kirkland.

Mozarella and Garlic Chicken Sausages from Sam's Club are friggin' spectacular. That's what I need....the one item that is, mentioned previously.

erod550 · Postby **erod550** » Tue Aug 23, 2011 9:14

I can't abide cheap TP. It's just one of those things that is way down on the list of things to cut back on if things get tight. I use Angel Soft, which isn't top of the line, but it's not sandpaper either.

When something simple takes forever..........

Like dropping a fuel tank and using a tool called 'Quick Disconnect' and nothing happens for over an hour. The whole process of changing the fuel pump should have taken that long not just the fuel lines. UGHHHH!!!

You don't know anyone that has a Sam's Club membership?

To add one of my own, again...

Taking a class/training for deployment, learning a system most of which you've never used, and is in some ways actually rocket science (at least it feels that way lol), spending 6 weeks in training, barely get to use the systems but read a manual about them when you can't actually use them, and then being expected to know the systems inside and out, just as those WHO WROTE THE PROGRAMS!

Sorry, it just ticks me off that they expect me to know as much as they do when I've had little or no time with it and they are the ones who wrote the programs for these systems. That's OK though, even if they don't think I pass the course, I still get to deploy haha.

You just described just about every project I try to do on any car lol. Always takes longer than expected, whether it's because of a cross-threaded bolt, a bolt that gets dropped/lost, a bolt that doesn't want to come loose, a bolt that's really, really hard to get at, etc. Hmm.. seems like bolts are usually the problem, lol.
