Stuff that happened to you that doesnt deserve a thread

Wow

That's an interesting book, placing an order on loot.co.za

Please just remember that power is not leadership. If you can only lead by using power, you are not a leader. That been said, sometimes you do need to use power in leadership but only as much as is needed and never as an easy way out. Very useful knowledge for dealing with power crazed superiors, this is where I find the most use of this.

Like driving a powerful vehicle, if you abuse the power, it can hurt you badly or even worse. Own it, don't show it off.

@Faiyaz Cheulkar I can understand your annoyance, but I MUST say I've never heard that.

I hear it all the time here in athlone.
For some reason people here don't know to use the words "should" , "may" or "can".

Try explaining to the 150 th call center agent that so and so does not live here, it’s a private residence and the phone number has not changed in 30 years! And if you want me to pull a Haley’s Comet, ask me the same question and insist you want to talk to that person after I have just done the above. I’m going to tell you where to get off. Also never knew that so many people could have the same contact number and your software cannot pick up on this anomaly. Locust 1 and 2 played them soothing music by picking up and putting the handset down next to their cellphones with accompanying music playing.

Got two of the F&$#@ing companies to quit phoning when the phrases harassment, SAPS, Ombudsman and FSCA was used. Next move is Helkom to have the last bunch of Fnuts number blocked, as they have been proven to be unethical and running a scam by getting people to agree that an amount is outstanding, as the prescribed debt is then reinstated, or to tell you that it is for another debt you know of, and may be paying. Also going to be reporting them to FSCA, for what it’s worth.

Let’s see what happens. If all else fails I will have a large jar of Vaseline and a roll of barbed wire delivered to their offices, use your imagination. I believe that someone at Nissan still has his jar that I sent him years ago, how nice of him to keep it.

I wonder .... it could be that the caller is Afrikaans and translating into English. Of course in Afrikaans one could and should also just ask if the call could be returned, but on the other hand, they could say "Sy moet vir XYZ skakel" (She must phone XYZ) which, in Afrikaans, implies that that is what she needs to do - not the imperative "must" as we understand it in English.

Now I understand, it's a classic case of mother tongue influence. Thank you soo much, that clears a lot.

Yesterday my Coppervape mech squonker fell for the umpteenth time, but this time round I got some damage:

510 positive pin snapped clean off. Fortunately I could use one from a spare mod and @BumbleBee has spares as well.

The joy of mechs that I am also discovering. If it falls and something breaks chances are you can have it fixed tjop tjop and be up and running again in no time. Regulated mod = dustbin 9/10

Yip, this mod has ended up in the bath, dropped on the driveway while opening the gate a couple of times, sat in the rain outside. If it were regulated it would have been dead many times.

Looking at it, it has character and a seriously exclusive finish on there already. No need to rush.

So envious of you! I would love to live far from the maddening crowd. And you take the most stunning pics!

@Faiyaz Cheulkar I can understand your annoyance, but I MUST say I've never heard that. Usually people would say, "Could you please ask her to call ..."

What really bugs me is when I get a sales call and they address me by my first name. I've never met them, I didn't ask them to call and we're not friends!!

When I get a sales call and my Truecaller didn't pick it up, then I just drop the call without talking to them. If it shows no number, I don't answer.

 

[RainstormZA]

And you take the most stunning pics!

Thanks. I try to. Not always easy when your bloody phone sometimes doesnt auto-zoom or keeps doing it...

@zadiac Just a heads up - ignoring calls from no number or unknown number might be to your detriment. Some months back I kept getting FB friend requests from a man I don't know, so I just deleted them. Eventually he phoned me. It was World Wonders/Esheli to tell me that I'd won a few bottles of juice in a FB comp! If he hadn't of taken the trouble to phone me, I wouldn't have received my prize, I guess. By the way, his friend request showed his name only - not the company name. Since then, although I still don't accept unknown friend requests, I DO answer all calls. And it's really very easy to bring the caller to a standstill by just stating, very firmly, "I'm not interested. Good-bye" and then put the phone down.

Agreed but in my situation, I just divert the calls to my mom because it sucks to be deaf and not answer phone calls.

What irritates me the most is places like banks - they have it on file not to call me and rather email me, they still call me. Ah welcome to South Africa!

Sat next to the N14 for an hour last night, dam, never realized people speed that much on there. So the Fix It Again Tony is under the carport and it’s personal mechanic will come do a diagnostic, home visit, I’m privileged. Hope it’s not going to cost a fluffing fortune to fix again. So, using the Granny Mobile today!
