    Better, not good enough though. The random statements only work in conversational slagging. Try this one:

    I said: There is a lot of fail on your face

    You should have said: There is a lot fail on your knob according to your girlfriend.

    that would be assuming you had a girlfriend good sir. Also, that a lot of fail could fit on your knob. Which, rumour has it, is untrue.

    Again it's a swing and a miss, but we are getting close. The above doesn't work because fail is not a physical thing. When I implied fail on my knob it's shortness was implied etc.

    She was dead right... ridiculous policy & I would have to check but probably contradicts the exchange policy printed on your receipts. BAD customer service!!

    Feck off with your bad customer service.

    Its river island policy that we do not do exchanges when its the opening day of our sale. There are signs up all over the store stating this fact.

    A lady shopper once got really angry because supposedly I sold the shoes that she wanted! She tried them on, gave them back, another lady wanted that size and so i gave them to her (only pair left) and the angry one came back and said she wanted to try them on again. I informed her they were sold, and she kicked up the biggest fuss i had ever seen...

    She got banned from the store for a month :D:D Hahaha

    Bouncers used to ask me "Are you sure you havent had enough"

    Im hardly going to say "umm actually maybe you are correct, I shall leave right now and go home immediately".

    Thats a stupid question.

    Not a stupid question I was asked, but one I asked a sales person (on purpose) over the phone for a prank. The store was woodies on the ennis road as I know a good few people working there. Call went like this:

    Me: Yeah hi. Wondering if you sell glass hammers?

    Woodies: No

    Me: No seriously, I need a glass hammer.

    Woodies: Look stop taking the piss. There is no such thing.

    Me: You going check if you have any in stock or not?

    Woodies: There is no such thing.

    Me: I want to speak to a manager.

    Woodies: Please hold.

    Manager: How can I help you?

    Me: Hi, I'm trying to check if you have any fiberglass hammers and your sales person is taking the piss....


    I knew the girl and I could hear the manager explaining to her about fiber glass hammers and I could imagine how stupid she felt. The manager made her apologies to me on the phone etc. I knew her and how I laughed the next day. She was not laughing with me :(



    I rang them up the other week asking for a price check on elbow grease and your one actually went away to get a price check. I'm not naming names because other people on this board may know them :D
