a clumsy waitress spilled miso soup on my very expensive wallet and my phone and my equally expensive bag argh fml. that became the joke of the day for my friends. like a typical singaporean, the first thing i said was 'fuck' and the next thing i said was 'very expensive leh!!' okay maybe a typical singaporean wouldnt say the former but definitely the latter.

now my wallet and phone reeks of miso soup #tyvm. i would have given you a piece of my mind but since i'm with many of my friends, i have decided to spare the rod. how lucky you are today.

but i demanded her to take a (nice) photo for us, without thanking her of course. well thats what she ought to do for me after miso-ing my things.

that got me into talking about how i would call in to the service provider hotlines and screw the call agents whenever my phone/internet network cranks up. to me, you might think that i am an unreasonable freak

1.the call agent cannot really do shit to troubleshoot network problems

2.they are just part timers like you and me.

but i'm sorry. once you become an employee of this firm, you represent the company and you jolly well take up the job of placating your angry customers. i pay for the service and i expect it to be up and running. i'm not demanding that i get super speeds for my internet, but at least you provide me with what i signed up for, period. when my network is down, i think its only reasonable that i choose not to pay for that affected period of time.

the conclusion? i can never be a call centre agent, but i certainly am the someone who calls in on a regular basis.

back to the clumsy waitress, she was probably too afraid that she didnt dare to look at me and kept refilling our water throughout the meal. nope, that does not extinguish the burning flame in me, but i shall not pursue the matter for i really didnt feel like making a mountain out of a molehill. yup, didnt feel like. i probably would have done it on another occasion.

if you happen to be in the service industry, please be careful.
