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*

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

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

That would've been a good way to fix the whole ordeal, you know.

monkey!owen is the answer to everything

Maybe Jack wouldn't want to kill him so much, then.

Yeah, it's kind of a toss-up with Owen.

still though, in even his most annoying version he wins out over Gwen

Yes. I really don't know why RTD thinks she's so special.

Pretty much. Sort of like Rose.

I actually sort of liked S1 Rose- filled with wonder and adventure the way oldschool companions were... but as S2 developed? *shudder* ye gods

Same here. Oddly enough, I really miss Nine, too.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-11-13 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
I really liked Nine. I find Ten rude more often then not and really full of himself

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-11-13 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Ten is definitely not my favorite.

I TURLY hated him for the end of S3- the scene where he says goodbye to Jack in Lottl- so dismissive and rude! S4 wasn't as bad, but I still couldnt say I was upset when I heard the news about S6

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-11-13 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I think he deserved a good smack from Jack in S3.

I can't wait to find out who they pick for S6.

Me either. Although I really hope it's not Simm.

Previous Doctors have been on the show before (Six was at least) but never as a MAJOR character like that

I wouldn't be able to take him seriously, I don't think.
