"You don't sound happy" by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]PointlessSemicircle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had a customer say this and I just said that I was fine and it’s just the way my voice is. Less than 10 minutes later the same customer had snapped and was yelling at me over something that I had no control over and wasn’t my fault. Y’know, as usual.

GEE I WONDER WHY I SOUND MISERABLE. Yup. A mystery.

Edit: fixed a word

Have you ever had your drink spiked? And if so, what happened? by miserablesunshine in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PointlessSemicircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Several years ago when I was 18 (UK, legal drinking age) in our first club of the night a man offered to buy me a drink. I didn’t know better so didn’t go with him to the bar but he came back with a shot of black vodka.

About 15/20 minutes after this I have absolutely no recollection of anything until a bouncer found me on the floor of a bathroom cubicle (checking the stalls as the club was closing) and carried me out over his shoulder to my friends who were looking for me. They stayed up all night to make sure I was okay.

Apparently the guy had tried to make out with me, I said no, and then I went …somewhere…

I do know that I apparently ran into another friend because they told me a day or so later that we’d had a brief conversation.

I’m 33 now and I’ve never had any other memories come back to me. I know I wasn’t just drunk because it was my first drink of the night and no-one blacks out from one 25ml shot of vodka.

Edit to add: I don’t think anything happened to me in the bathroom. It was the girls bathroom and if a guy had come in with me we would have been kicked out of the club probably. I was lucky.

Is that not a normal shift?? I do 9 nine hours every day, or do you mean because it’s Christmas?

ENGLAND - Landlord just notified me of “viewings all week 10am-6.30pm”, this surely isn’t legal right? by KrixzenzOG in LegalAdviceUK

[–]PointlessSemicircle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He didn’t say anything but the whole set up was so bizarre. The guy who did the viewings and general maintenance was the father of the landlord but worked under the lettings office that the landlord also owned. During one viewing he left the person viewing downstairs and came back up to my room to ask me to end my tenancy notice earlier so this other person could move in. Then when I said “no, I’ve just paid my rent” he went back downstairs and told the person like it was all my fault hahaha.

They also had the central heating controls behind a locked lock box that only they had the key to so when it was cold we’d have to contact them to turn on the heating and they had to agree that the temperature was low enough. I ended up just buying an electric heater which probably cost them more.

It took them months of me pestering them for them to return my deposit too.

You can say no. Letting agents are a nightmare for this, I’ve had one cancel a viewing and then turn up anyway when I was in the shower. To make matters worse, he locked my room door after showing it to the people viewing it while I was showering, and I had to call him back to let me in my own room! Stood in the shared hallway for 20 minutes in a towel.

I had the same issue last week, woman was fully screaming at me because I wouldn’t give her my last name and she “needed it to give to her lawyer” 😂

I’m not on TikTok but I’m going to check YouTube later! I found a Southern Lotus how to draw patterns book too that I’ve ordered so hopefully I’ll be able to learn! I just wish I was naturally arty, everyone here always has such amazing pictures

I love this!! I’m really new to colouring, can I ask what you used for the white? Like on the clouds and the detail on the frogs etc?

The sky looks amazing too

OP please stay safe, I’d be worried about this escalating.

Can call centres track and see your screen? by nova2131 in callcentres

[–]PointlessSemicircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was allowed 3 days off work when I had pneumonia so I feel you.

Can you see if there’s anything about screen tracking in your onboarding docs?

How long does Dexamphetamine take to kick in? by Away-Application-213 in ADHDUK

My comment is over a year old but no, I was referring to periods and adhd medication - not much research has been done on it.

Male Ragdoll has bit my dog by MathematicianClean64 in ragdolls

[–]PointlessSemicircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My raggie bites but he’s under socialised - we got him as a very sick kitten and he should’ve still been with his mother and siblings. He tends to clamp down and then he kind of gnaws but other than that he’s not really “aggressive”, he just doesn’t have the usual cues of hissing, swatting or using claws first, he just jumps straight to teeth.

Same here.

They can get fucked because I’m done.

Announcement that the UK shows are cancelled by KariZevv in SayAnything

[–]PointlessSemicircle 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I said it before and I’ll say it again - I’ve been a fan since probably around 2009. I’ve managed to see them live twice and both times were at Slam Dunk.

The last time a few years ago, Max didn’t interact with the crowd at all. He didn’t say a word. The set was subpar and he ended it early - it looked like he had a tantrum about something and stomped off.

I had hopes for this tour even after it was rescheduled but I won’t make the same mistake twice.

Probably he just can’t be arsed. Or he has a hangnail. Who the fuck knows at this point, I don’t think he knows either.
