Congratulations, I think hehe.
Been busy playing yet more CoH2 and also on the official forums there. There's been
a big community issue about one of the games mechanics. It's been fascinating for me
to watch, and somewhat disturbing too. So much rage sheesh, I honestly wonder if
some folks act that way in real life too. I imagine not, or there'd be a lot more people
up on assault charges.
Of course there's always the odd one. When I was a stores junior manager, I was
asked to speak to a customer by one of my staff. So I asked him what the matter was
prior to speaking to the customer. He'd bought a pager (it was the late 90s), and it was
broken. But not by fault, the thing had been physically abused. So I talked to the guy
and asked him to repeat his story, and told him after that I couldn't help if he'd ruined it
himself. At which point he told me that he'd break me, if I told him it was broken by him
again. At that point I looked around, and every single male member of staff present was
stood right behind me. The man who cuts slack for folks, is the man who gets his back
covered. So our angry customer backed down, but refused to leave after being politely
requested to do so. Calling the Police I tell him, to which he says no problem. Not wanting
to waste Police time, and being of the mind he was all bluster now.....I called the speaking
clock. Told the speaking clock that I required help removing a abusive customer, and he was
already halfway out the door. Ahhhh retail, never again if I can bloody well help it!
