"Hallo...can I harp you?"


One of my friend had a funny encounter at one of the prestige golf clubs recently. They had gone for an all-girls' night out and had just settled down to have some drinks at the pub. The girls each ordered different stuffs and one of them asked for a glass of red wine. As usual, the orders came correct except for the red wine....only the wine glass came...EMPTY! Baffled? so were the girls..but u know they thought...."ah, maybe the waiter will come back with the botle of wine"..."or maybe he was gonna come back and do some funny stunts whilst pouring the wine?" (errr apparently the waiter was sizzling hot!)....ANYWAY...the girls waited, waited and waited till infinity....the wine never came!....hmmm...well...they did what girls do BEST - WHICH WAS TO ASK!

FRIEND: Hi, what happened to the red wine which we ordered? We only got the wine glass...
WAITER: Give already
FRIEND: Give what?
WAITER: There...tu kan dah bagi..gelas minum too...(TRANSLATION: There, given already mah..the wine glass!)

Yes, people, THAT actually happened at a prestige golf club...

And of course, recently I have been pretty busy helping a good friend with planning and ID his new condo...and last week was the arrival of all the stuffs, furnitures, electrical items etc etc etc..u get the pix...so the whole bloooody day went by just waiting and receiving stuff from different vendor, thank God I had LB there to help out too. The day went by smoothly,except for one from HN..it was for a 40inch TV - mind you delivery was due by 3pm...waited till 330pm..nothing came...waited till 4pm...still nothing came. Yes, and u guessed it..what this psycho bitch & LB did, called HN:

LB: Hi, I am xxx, calling from xxx, and my inv no is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...u are supposed to send my TV by 3pm..? I don't see it

HN : Wait I check (*PLS NOTE THAT THIS PERSON HV FAILED TO BE POLITE AND INTRODUCE HIMSELF*)....oh ...we cannot send (*ONCE AGAIN, PLS NOTE THE RUDENESS*)

PB: Why can't you send? It's fully paid for and it is stated delivery will be done today by 3pm. You had better send it, else you speak to my "wife" (aka Psycho Bitch)

HN: No stock. (*PLS NOTE, AGAIN, THE SERVICE THAT IS DEFINITELY GOING DOWN HILL*)

PB: *with a controlled tone before Volcano PB erupts*...what do you mean 'no stock'? We ordered this like last week! I don't care what you do...I am not sitting around anymore waiting for you. I am late for my manicure, pedicure and hair cut...send the TV in the next 30 mins...

HN: No stock means bo stock lah. What you want me to do? I cant help you. ....(*HN HANGS UP!*)

YES...u CAN imagine my anger and a little Hiroshima explosion happened, as LB and PB drove straight to HN....and the rest is history...

p/s: btw, still managed to get the TV PLUS another % of discount!

This is truly ...SERVICE AT ITS BEST! ....
