ROFL… I mean, pardon my use of such an archaic acronym. Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that anyone involved in a business where they have to compare their 'service' to that of another company trying to prove their are better, are just trying to rip you off. Sometimes I think competition went out the window and was replaced with the 'let's see who can scam this chump out of the most money' system. Maybe I'm just being too pessimistic?
Keep up with the posts! They're very funny.

Yay, all manner of new and exciting people appearing tonight! Thank you, frannie. 🙂

I remember when I was a student it was pretty much every week there was some besuited goon knocking on the door trying to convince me to switch to their electricity company which inevitably offered a better deal than the person who'd come around the previous week. Bastards.

Yeah, I've come across the sewed-shut pockets thing before too. Why do that? So no-one slips in packets of drugs to the jackets in the factory? To prevent an infestation of baby marmosets? So they don't get dusty? To irritate the end-users of said jackets? Who knows? We can call sewed-shut pockets "item 2a", if you like.

Thanks for reading and commenting 🙂

I had a sneaky female door to door sales-creep that pretended to be a neighbor just meeting everyone and made her way into the living room as if she wanted to borrow a teaspoon of salt… instead she proceeded to spray our carpet with some cleaner and make a huge bright spot right in the middle of it and somehow managed to sound like she was talking about the weather while attempting to sell us this stuff. I had to wear a stupid suit at my last job, and do you know what? THE POCKETS ARE SEWED SHUT! I have 3 jackets for work and they all had pockets I had no idea existed until my supervisor… uhm… removed the stitching with a pair of scissors. Not only that, but I had no clue you were supposed to remove the stitches holding the back together as well. Wow…
I definitely find most of that fashion junk to be pretty ridiculous as well :)… lol to number 5.
This was actually hilarious.

Thank you, Mandy! I don't remember seeing you around here before… are you a lurker or a new reader-type person? 🙂 Hello, regardless, and thanks!

Indeed. Lamb tikka dhansak rules the curry roost.
