ANNOYEDDDDDDD

Memorex. I have called their "customer service" line a total of 6 times in the last week in regards to a blu-ray player I received as a gift that doesn't even play the movies. I know what I'm doing, I know how to work the machine and plug it in. I'm not an idiot savant or 80 year old new to DVDs or blu-rays. Firmware update? Oh. Doesn't work. I've had to repeat my issue/case information all 6 times I've called to finally get them to let me send it back to them and get it replaced. Why don't they keep track of this information? Would save everyone a little bit of time to actually take down the case information, as well as the serial # of my blu-ray player, my phone number so I don't have to spend 3 minutes on the phone with their "customer service" reps explaining the situation over and over again each and every time I call. I've never purchased a memorex product, and never plan to after this little "mishap".

I hate it when people use how long they've been doing something as a reason why they should get what they want or are right about something else. Like "I've lived here for 10 years and I shouldn't have to deal with X." Or, "I've been in this business for 23 years, and I've never seen such-and-such."

If that's all ya got, ya got nothin'. So shut up.

hey todd.

my annoyance is a small one, but it always gets me when people
say they're "itching" something, when they're really "scratching"
something. you're not itching it. you're scratching it! why would you
want to itch it? then you'd have to scratch it, which is what you're
already doing! i don't know how this got started, since people don't use
opposites for other things, but it's pretty much my only pet peeve, and it
bugs the crap out of me.
