Beef story #142 time is money

author: timp
customer comes in and with a very accusatory tone tells me he came last night a little after 6 and asked why we were closed when the sign with hours posted clearly notes 6:30 as the closing time. i was a bit confused because i closed with my dad right at 6:30, so i asked him if he was sure of the time and he said yeah absolutely sure door was locked blinds closed and lights out. eventually he just left thinking i was a liar. just to make sure i wasnt going crazy i checked the credit card batch and it said 6:28pm.

Verdict: it's dec21! change your clock for daylight savings time already mister!

Beef Story #141: Beefy Refills

Author: generic

So I found this pretty sweet "titanium tactical pen" on the 'bay. It was displayed in all the pictures as very high quality and in addition to writing which all pens should really accomplish fairly well, it had pictures of some dude using the back of the pen to bust through a car's glass window. Handy!

I bid for it and won, and soon it was in my possession. Now, the seller had been quite clear that it would ship with NO refill in it, but included a handy link to the correct fitting refill from Parker. So I clicked on that link and found that I could choose from all kinds of fancy Java menus to peruse any of about 15 different types of pen refills in all kinds of sizes and stuff. I ordered some standard rollerball refills (which fortunately do fit in another pen I own). Needless to say, when the refill arrived I slipped it in my awesome titanium pen and it rattled around and back and forth like dice in the Yahtzee cup. So I went back and messaged the seller to explain that I was having trouble finding the right refill and he of course responded very promptly with another link to multiple items in the Parker pen line. Finally I bought a couple more and by process of elimination I finally have a pen that not only breaks windows, but writes on paper. Also I have plenty of refills for other pens lying around...thanks Chinese Titanium Tactical Ebay Vendor Man!

VERDICT: ON A SCALE FROM 1 TO 57 WHERE 1 IS BEEFY, 57 IS PRETTY BEEFY, AND 23 IS VERY BEEFY, THIS RATES AS A 34.

Beef Story #140: Tiger Airways tried to ruin my Wedding

Author: Roob

Long story short: We were getting married in Cebu on May 14, 2012 and we bought our ticket months in advance.  On they day of our flight from Singapore Tiger Airways canceled the flight and didn't give us any warning.  They didn't help us schedule a new flight and they certainly didn't seem to care that we were going to miss our wedding.  We ended up buying a flight on Cebu Pacific instead.  Tiger did give us a refund for the flight they canceled but they refuse to compensate us SGD$620 for the two last-minute tickets we had to buy.
Here's my complaint on the website started by the guy whose guitar got broken by United Airlines.  If anyone can help us, it's him.

Beef Story #137: Dude where's my post?

Author: reub

So I wrote this awesome post on blogger that was gonna melt faces and saved it as a draft.  I opened the post again through an ipod safari browser but everything I typed was gone.  Then I went back to look for it using a normal PC and my post was totally gone!  I thought blogger would have a revision system the way google docs and google sites keeps revisions, you know since they're all owned by GOOGLE, but nope.  It's gone forever.  Thanks a lot GOOGLE and BLOGGER.  For nothing

VERDICT:TIAN TIAN CHICKEN RICE IS THE BEST!  OH WAIT I'M NOT ANTHONY BOURDAINE I'M REUBEN'S OLD COMPUTER GRAPHICS PROFESSOR!!
