Complaining - Page 2

I'll complain about bad service or faulty goods. I'm paying for it so I expect it to be right. I also compliment when it's due and I have twice, in the past, emailed the AA to praise their repair men, not for getting my car going but for their courtesy, politeness and helpfulness. I dealt with the public for many years, in my job, and it was always very nice to get a word of appreciation so I make sure I do it for other people.

I recently found out I could get a re-fund/credit on a DVD movie rentals from Blockbuster , told them the movie was a load of crap and I wanted a credit (it was something with big names in it but had never had cinema release a 'straight to video' ) the attendant looked at me like I was crazy, but the Manager gave in , thing to remember though make sure you take it back within 2 days , don't wait 5 days til its due back

i tend to complain if the need arises, in fact i rang my internet provider to complain on friday about loss of connection, after a couple of phonecalls i got a months free connection, plus there sending me an offer of a much cheaper rate and its all because i asked to be put through (and was) to the cancellation dept.

also told them that if the service did not improve during my free month- they could shove it anyway.

jambutty. Just a tiny point Ianto.W. If “The trouble with us Brits we do not complain enough,” why do the Aussies call us whinging poms?

Ausies are the most ignorant race on the face of the earth, 'You are
supposed to be a much travelled man jambutty' and you ask me a stupid question like that. There is a great deal of difference between as you call it whingeing and complaining, I have probably been to that backwater more times than you have, as my sister who as I type has lived there since 1965, at present she is at my house on a 2 month visit, her partner is an Ausie he is the biggest pain in the backside I have ever met. Do you know what poms stands for? if you do not I will enlighten you should you so wish. If Anyone is dissatisfied with a service, product or even the attitude of people that are there to serve you they should COMPLAIN, and furthermore this country would be a far better place if they did!

Just a tiny point Ianto.W. If “The trouble with us Brits we do not complain enough,” why do the Aussies call us whinging poms? -- these aussies (not the brits who went out for a tenner in 60s) are nothing but descendents of OUR CRIMINALS who were deported out there in the good old days, i never heard an aborigine call us whinging poms! they are the REAL AUSSIES.

Pom

A British person. Also pommy. First recorded in 1912, the term was originally applied to an immigrant from Britain, and was formed by rhyming slang. A British immigrant was called a pommygrant, from the red fruit pomegranate, perhaps referring to the complexion of the new arrivals, which was then abbreviated to pommy and pom. Although some argue otherwise, it is not an acronym of prisoner of mother England.
