So, I placed an ad in the newspaper today.. - GoFuckYourself.com

jact · 02-28-2005, 12:58 PM

Called the Classifieds department, and my conversation went like this..

"Have you ever placed an ad with us before?"
"No"
"You'll have to come down with your registration paperwork"
"Pardon? My what?"
"Your paperwork."
"Could you be a little more specific?"
"You know, what they gave you."
"They who?"
"You know, them"
"Do you mean my articles of incorporation? My business license? My permits? My ESSO Extra card? What?"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Which is it?"
"Articles of something or other"
"You've been so helpful, so where do I have to go?"
"Our offices"
"That's specific."

I hung up and had my wife call them back.

NaughtyRob · 02-28-2005, 12:59 PM

Brilliant arent they? I have the same issues with some of the papers here in Vegas.

TurboAngel · 02-28-2005, 01:00 PM

No way.

Babagirls · 02-28-2005, 01:00 PM

JFPdude · 02-28-2005, 01:00 PM

LMFAO sounds like you called the asheville times

sickkittens · 02-28-2005, 01:01 PM

Stupid Canadians. ;) jk

StuartD · 02-28-2005, 01:02 PM

They're the same people who don't understand "I don't read newspapers" when they call asking you to get a subscription.

"But, it's cheaper this way.... why wouldn't you get it?"

"Because I don't read the newspaper!!!"

idiots.

sickkittens · 02-28-2005, 01:02 PM

you should have broke out with an Abbott and Costello routine.

MediumPimpin · 02-28-2005, 01:02 PM

And you thought outsourcing was bad

I got that recently. I immediately said "not interested" they replied "why not"...I replied, "because I don't read the paper", they replied "why not"...I hung up.

That's okay, when I called on the weekend and talked with someone who couldn't help me (They don't allow their weekend staff to take ads for adult oriented material), she asked when I wanted to have the ad placed. I replied with "5 weeks ago when I sent my initial email to your company". "Oh, and you've waited this long?" "No, I've sent a dozen emails, nobody ever replied, so I finally bought a paper. Your stupid website doesn't have your phone number on it".

I want my money back for that paper.

Trixxxia · 02-28-2005, 01:04 PM

Did you get her name? I'd have asked her to forward me to her supervisor since she obviously didn't know what she was talking about.

I don't like talking to people, so I rarely ask anything more then I have to. Talking to her supervisor would have been counter productive. "Listen, asshole" generally isn't a very good hello

XxXotic · 02-28-2005, 02:22 PM

so are all your papers in order yet?

Basic_man · 02-28-2005, 02:25 PM

She was probably blond :D

Sosa · 02-28-2005, 02:25 PM

lol so did you end up placing the ad?

sweetME · 02-28-2005, 02:40 PM

Maybe it was his/hers first day.
