Hurray for customer service ineptitude

[donutsweeper]

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*

Or a sturdy plastic lightsaber. Not that I've ever ended an argument in that manner or anything.

Actually, I've mostly just started them that way.

*bites tongue* I can see that

It's really fun jumping siblings in the dark with the light-up ones.

your childhood was so much more interesting than mine

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, when you grow up with you closest neighbors living a mile away, you have to find some way to entertain yourself.

and wreak you revenge upon your siblings?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes >:D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

perfect use for the devilish smiley

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

yet siblings still talk to you!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's amazing.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you obviously didn't swing that lightsaber hard enough....

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

No...and I probably got hit back an equal number of times.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

no fair

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I used to play this "game" with my oldest brother. I'd hit him, he'd hit back harder, I'd hit back even harder, and we'd just continue until one of us couldn't take anymore or just couldn't lift our arm anymore.

I'm kind of glad i didn't have any brothers around now

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's kind of amazing I survived, sometimes.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

although your sanity is another story....

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

True.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

although, it makes your life much more interesting

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Most definitely.

after all would this have happened if you were normal? *points to icon*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

No, and that would've been sad.

Of course, this one wouldn't have happened, either, and that would've been REALLY sad.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

terribly so

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

The internet would be so much less entertaining without us.
