:faint:I had a horrible customer at work today and just had to get it off my chest. It began with him requesting a supervisor: me. Next began me trying to explain his account and why what he was asking was impossible and while asking him questions to find out how I COULD help him he begins to tell me I am not a supervisor..blah blah blah :tired You're kidding me right? Like I have nothing better to do than "pretend" I am a supervisor.

Me: (politically correct response) Sir, please let's not be disrepectful and keep this professional. I would really like to assist you with your account today.

Sir: blah blah %^@#%*^$% blah blah %$@^(@*$% blah blah blah :embarassed:

Me: Sir, if you continue with that language I will not be able to assist you today.

Sir: blah blah blah I am YOUR boss you F'ING B****! :eek:

Me: *click*

Said sir then calls back in and speaks to someone and tells them that he knows that "my name" is there and he wants her to tell me I am a STUPID B****.

Her(politically correct response): Sir, I cannot do that. It is not appropriate.

Sir: Put her on the phone I will tell her myself.

Ugh! Who pissed in his cheerios this morning? :D

Good for you! I just can't believe there are people out there that act like that guy. It's completely out of the question for me, I guess. I was raised to treat everyone with respect, and to fake it if I didn't respect them.

I know how you feel. I used to work at a bank and people freak out if you can't do every little thing they want. I was so surprised that people could be so arrogant and rude. That is why I will never work at a bank again. Hope you find a new job soon.

Honestly, I think the worst I can complain about is an incident when I was interning at a wildlife refuge on Cape Cod and a guy came in the visitors' center to bitch at me about how the trees were growing too tall and ruining his view. It was all I could do to tell him, "This is a wildlife refuge, not a people refuge. It's nice that we get visitors, but guess what? The wildlife come first. I don't give a damn if those trees are ruining the view, they're considered to be wildlife habitat, and we aren't going to cut them down just so poor little you can have a better ocean view from the boardwalk." Instead I just smiled and nodded throughout his spiel and took a message to pass on to the refuge manager. When you want to smack some sense into a customer, just smile and nod, smile and nod.

Hope you have a much nicer day tomorrow. Donna:hug::hug:

Thanks. Definately better. Applied for a few jobs. I will wait and see what happens. No biggie! Nothing a nice alcoholic drink couldn't fix. LOL!

Hilarious story Laurend. Makes you want to tell him, "Sure sir. I would be happy to do that. Would you also like me to permanently stop the rain and cease all annoying bird chatter since I am obviously Mary freakin' Poppins?"

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
