The totally off-topic thread

Freaking call centers. Leave a message on my phone with need to urgently call back. It was about something I needed. It’s legit. Spoke stupid fast in a sing song English as second language voice that I played it three times and still have no idea what she was babbling about. On the fourth replay instead of clicking the number for Replay I accidentally clicked the delete button. And of course no caller ID so I can’t even check. If she rings back she is going to get a lecture on phone etiquette. I always give my number twice when leaving a message and say it slower. Stupid freaking call centers.

I recently spent a day making bookings with Latam. About 8. Got an email a few days later - an email that includes a specific "case resolution" number" but nothing else. It tells me one of my flights was unable to be booked - but it doesnt tell me which one!!! I know when I call them that they will not be able to track their own "case resolution" number. AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Have been through this before with Latam. They make Qantas interstellar superstars.....

 

[juddles]

Fut Latam, fut Latam, fut Latam.......

 

[juddles]

Sorry.

And they follow up their impossible to identify email immediately with another one - asking me to rate their feedback!!!

How do I say "fut you" in spanish?

As someone who grew up in Chile, you must already know that!

For everyone's future reference Google Translate offers this: vete a la mierda .

In Colombia when someone stuffs you they say "Que pena" - which ostensibly means "I'm so sorry" - but in reality it means "sucks to be you"

Edit: and for the honest record, I have been known (maybe even many a time) to say "vete a la mierda". Actually I usually say "vete a la PUTA mierda". Wonder how google describes "puta"

That almost sounds like my phone call, with a case resolution number etc. It’s either Amex, ATO, or TPG. I think it’s Amex. Just hope it’s none of the many flights I’ve booked......

It doesn't handle 'puta' alone but your phrase comes across, cryptically translated, as 'go to copulatory excrement' .

John, I did some rare exercise the other day that used muscles not normally awakened. So they are tender. The laugh I got out of "go to copulatory excrement" just brought tears to my eyes

Could have used that in an airport today - I only ever get sick when have spent hours in an airport.

for clarity in this thread, the most workout my abs get is twisting to get the laptop off the floor next to my bed :O

Germs in airplane cabins are bad, but it's even worse at the airport terminal (LA Times, 3 Feb 2018)

"The highest germ counts in the terminals were found on the screens of airport kiosks, 253,857 CFUs, followed by 21,630 CFUs on bench armrests and 19,181 on drinking fountain buttons, the study said."

"A typical kitchen counter 361 CFU".

Survive the flu but heres diabetes!

The year our office paid for staff to have flu shots was the highest number of sick days that winter in about 10yrs. Never sponsored flu shots after that.

I'm booked in for the flu vaccine next Tuesday but may have to defer. Daughter sick and it would appear that wife has it now and I've got the beginning of something.

Don't like my odds but hoping it's just a cold.

I had my over 65 flu jab today

 

[blackcat20]

I booked in for my free flu jab but they'd run out so I had to go buy one from the chemist
