Hurray for customer service ineptitude

I was on the phone with the customer service of a very fancy jewelry company earlier today to return a present my daughter got.  Their policy is that, since the bracelet arrived broken, shipping is free within the US.

"Where do you live, Ma'am?"

"Minnesota."

"I'm afraid that will require international shipping charges then."

"Why?  It's a state."

"A state of what?"

*headdesk*

But have *certain* scenes warranted multiple viewings?

Oh, definitely. I mean, I had to figure out just where Ianto's hands were, after all.

bwhahaha!

I watched most of KKBB several times, and the adorable jack/ianto scene in the episode with the WWi soldier Tommy and ummm, maybe the scene you're talking about. maybe. a few times

Moohahaha.

I watched KKBB a few times, too. That was just a fun episode.

KKBB was a great start to the season- action, romance, sexy scenes, sweet and moving scenes, only a few scenes that needed fastfowarding (*cough* Gwen *cough)

Yes. And many great Ianto expressions.

the office scene is what gets me.

"You're good on roofs."

I love that scene.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-11-11 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
the whole scene is just so sweet!

And Ianto snark is something I always approve of.

yeah- too often he's written as a pushover

I think my favorite line ever is from Meat. "We could release a single."

although, in general, the episode was STUPID. Come on, Rhys following them and no one noticing? NOT retconing Rhys and Jack allowing Gwen's tantrum? pardon me while I hack a hairball

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I was personally voting for Gwen to get retconned.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
oh god yes. retcon the hell out of both Gwen and rhys and send them on their way

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
seriously- we lose Tosh yet keep Gwen- how the hell is that fair?

It's evil, that's what it is.

I'd even have taken Owen over Gwen, and that's saying a lot.

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That would've been a good way to fix the whole ordeal, you know.

monkey!owen is the answer to everything
