Discussion » Is everyone born in the UK a cocky ass?

At work today I had to take down a man's name and he says "Burt is my last name". I notice he has an english accent. So I say "Whats the fist initial?" He says "a" really low so I couldn't hear him, so I ask him to repeat it, "A" Then his wife pipes up and says
"You know, A, it starts off the alphabet. Hahahahahahahaha" Ensue hilarity, laughter and rolling of the eyes.

cocky bastards

You should've punhced her in the teeth and then told the bloke to keep his bitch under control or fuck the hell off.
Posted by WarHead, 8 years ago:
 
Service is your watchword then Sul?
Posted by Sul, 8 years ago:
 
I cant stand people like that. Smarmy "abuse the person because they have to take it as part of their job" people. I'm great at customer service but if someone gets all cocky (and it can be worse over the phone as you're not face to face) then I automatically go into "I'm going to make you feel incredibly small because you're a cunt" mode.

I like that attitude Sul. Tell us more.. I have to interact with customers, but so far generally don't get much crap.. everyone knows you get shit drinks if you piss off the barman. I worry about how well I'd do in a job that involved real restraint. :-\

Being excrutiatingly polite to people is a very effective diminishing tool, actually. The more stroppy they get, the more you call them 'Sir', and smile and be 'terribly understanding'.

They know you're being sarcastic and taking the piss, but you aren't doing anything that they can object to.

Calling women 'Sir' can piss them off, though.
Posted by WarHead, 8 years ago:
 
That's correct, madam.

Yes we are. Are all Americans stupid? I think we both know the answer to that! I had to work on the IT helpdesk for a while, its amazing how many people presume that you know as little (if not less) than them about IT/whatever area of expertise you happen to be from. The best part is bamboozling them with meaningless phrases. We used to play a game where you had to incorporate specific words or phrases into the conversation which often resulted in them just hanging up.
Posted by cal, 8 years ago:
 
that game is often called "monkey tennis"
Posted by Alfie, 8 years ago:
 
Monkey Tennis was referenced in Amiga Format or Power once I seem to remember
Posted by WarHead, 8 years ago:
 
Shirley, you're too young to remember Amiga Format. Or maybe not.

Not all americans are morons.. i found this to be quite redeeming...
Posted by Alfie, 8 years ago:
 
hehe
Posted by kaila, 8 years ago:
 
like that wasn't photoshopped.

And no, not all americans are stupid, I however may be one of the many who are, because I knew someone would write that question and I still proceeded to start this conversation. Anyway I just smiled at the woman like I know your "taking the piss" you bitch. grrr.

I also think my college professor may be a little dumb dumb. She pronounced coupe de grasse (coo de gra) as coupe dee grass. she's special.
Posted by Alfie, 8 years ago:
 
hahah one of the comments after that picture is:

"Calling our president an idiot is immature and disrespectful. I don't care what your politics are, when did everyone in this country lose respect for the office of the president? To voice an opinion on the internet is fine, to put it in print on a company's label or to announce it at a Dixie Chix concert is just tasteless - especially in a time of war."

hahahahahaha
Posted by Alfie, 8 years ago:
 
doesn't look photoshopped to me
Posted by Alfie, 8 years ago:
 
you obviously think we are "dumb dumb" if you feel the need to explain to us how to pronounce it (in brackets)
Posted by kaila, 8 years ago:
 
As I stated earlier I consider myself to be one of the idiots so I only used the brackets to get my point across, I assumed I hadn't spelled it correctly. Uh huh, ya know since i's amercan an all i must be stoopid. uh huh huh huh

"I don't care what your politics are, when did everyone in this country lose respect for the office of the president?"

Right after he turned out to be a fuckwit, I imagine.

And as for not caring about peoples politics, how can that possibly be irrelevant to everyone who voted for the other party? The office of president is a political position, you penis! They must be feeling more than a touch vindicated for voting the other way given the resulting cock-up by Shrubbery the 2nd.
Posted by carbonite, 8 years ago:
 
Yeah I felt that was particularly condescending (con-du-send-ing).

Posted by Kallese, 8 years ago:
 
Nope, not photoshopped.

Company website: news

apparently even US soldiers like them. Though I don't think that they are using the specific bags with the tags on them.
Posted by kaila, 8 years ago:
 
I would have put an "h" beside the "u"
Posted by carbonite, 8 years ago:
 
If I could re-arrange the alphabet I would put u and i together!
