Don't ruin my carpet, instead, ruin my expensive...
As I was writing up the invoice for a customer, I figured I’d sit next to her in the living room. She had light carpet, so I didn’t want to stand on it with my shoes on. So I saw, what I thought was, a rug rolled up on the carpet. I jumped over to that, & sat down. The longer I looked at that expensive rug under my feet, the more I started to realize it wasn’t a rug at all!...
Old woman+gps+locks=confusing!
So I’m in Home Depot picking up a lock that we don’t keep in stock for a customer. I overhear this old woman trying to explain to the “zit-faced employee”, as my uncle would put it, how she bought this knob for her door, & it’s missing a piece. So I asked her if I could help, so she starts trying to explain it to me, but the employee continues to interrogate her...

3...4 strikes and you're out!
The company I work for recently hired a guy, who, I guess, is pretty new to locksmithing. Today, he went out to a job to rekey 4 locks on a house.
For those who don’t know, that’s a 20-30 minute job, tops.
3 HOURS later, the customer is calling our dispatch office to complain, saying it’s ridiculous (because it was), and she’s very frustrated. My dispatcher asked me to go...
Southwest Airlines is my favorite so far
I’ve flown quite a bit, and I usually fly AA because they’re usually the cheapest. I don’t really have any complaints about them except their charge of $15 per bag you check in each way! That adds up quick, especially if you’re paying for 2 people.
But someone suggested Southwest Airlines to me for my most recent trip back to Chicago. They were very cheap, no charge for...

when a business treats an employee, a customer, or a vendor like dirt nowadays, it doesn’t end there. Before internet, if someone was wronged, they spread it around on the phone to all their friends. But now, we have internet. Anyone can google that name & find blog posts, reviews, etc on anyone or anything. So here we go…
Just did a job for Allure Laser Spa in Round Rock. The mgr...

How to update Twitter without updating Facebook
This is for those of you who have a program installed on Facebook to automatically update your status with your twitter updates. I have figured out a simple trick to update twitter withOUT updating Facebook, too.
Send a message to yourself. Such as: @username then your message.

Government needs Careone Credit counseling
What kind of government borrows money, only to add it to the enormous debt they already have, just to send their citizens a few extra bucks?! Cars-for-Clunkers? Bush’s stupid stimulus plan, etc. Did anybody get ahead with that dumb stimulus plan?
What is Cash-for-Clunkers REALLY doing? Encouraging people who OWN cars, to go into MORE debt by buying a car they may not really need! Oh, &...
