| 1451992 | 2018-08-04 07:23:00 | I really get into a fury with these bstards. I call them liars and thieves, and tell them they'll be going to hell. The last one to try was only last week. Got the usual telltale pause and click before they could speak, so my first words were "this is going to be a bullsht call isn't it". Click. No words even spoken to me. The problem with that is you’re not talking to the perpetrators, just the minions they hire, who are only doing the job they’re paid for - like yelling at the teller b/c banks rip you off. |
