Going to someone for personal services, ie- haircuts, etc and they do a terrific job but the next time you come back and no where near as good as the 1st time. It's like they forgot who you are but it's not like it's the 1st time you ever went to that person.

New one, just this afternoon. I had to play back a message on voice mail and could hardly understand this person. I must have played it back 4 times and still can't make out where they're calling from.

Follow it up. They should be prosecuted. Might make you feel better too

Default Rudeness, Lack of all regard for people..

On the subway...Guy plops his soaking wet umbrella on the SEAT near him as opposed to on the floor by his legs, Which is the general rule of thumb here in NYC. Why keep the seats dry??

RUDE!!

Unhappy Give me a break!

Having people ask you for your opinion and then they want to discuss why your thoughts are wrong and theirs are correct. Give me a break,,,,, don’t ask and I won’t tell. lol People just aren’t happy with a simple “I like it” or “I don’t like it” comment.

I cut my own hair for over 15 years because every time I went to a salon I had to recut my hair anyway. A year ago I decided to give salons another try, because this woman had some good recommendations. I wanted to try something a little different for a change and it looked fine the first 4-5 times I went. Then it started coming out wrong. My hair started sticking out and I couldn't see how to fix it. The last time I told her exactly what I wanted her to do, but it came out looking like the cut she'd been giving me anyway. My hair keeps sticking out oddly again. I guess I'll go back to cutting my own hair. I hate paying someone to cause me aggravation. I get enough of that for free.

.......but that's not why I logged in.
My dishwasher broke a few weeks ago. I called a local repair company, thinking it was the same company that serviced my stove last year. It wasn't, only the name was similar.
Anyway, he told me I needed a certain large part, and it would be an expensive repair. He'd get back to me with more info.
It's been almost 2 weeks since he was here. After he left I looked at parts online and found what I needed. Too bad I have no idea how to pull the old part out and replace it myself. From the way the guy talked, I could tell he knew very little about my model dishwasher.
I guess I'll have to call someone else (if anyone deigns to respond). I've already shelled out $90 for nothing.
