1. Bring the Elderly Mother to the Supermarket...They got freezer there...or check her into a hotel room.Originally posted by jetta:MG, if I were to relate to you the measures these desperate people are driven to, you'd be appalled. Let me tell you anyway?
1. Please don't tell me that your elderly mother is miserably hot in the house. When I tell you that we are out of stock, we are out of stock. I don't have the ability to pull an a/c out of my butt to sell you.
2. Don't tell me that all your dogs have died from heat exhaustion. Again, I don't have magical powers.
3. Don't ask to see the manager when I've already told you that I have none to sell you. What can the manager do? I know that he doesn't have a magical butt either.
4. When I tell you that your best bet is to place an order today and that the earliest pick up date is after 5pm on Sept 11, please don't ask me if it can come in any earlier.
5. After I let you know the soonest pick up date, and you tell me me that's too far out, I'm thinking you don't need one that badly after all.
6. Don't ask me who has a/c's available. I don't work there and I have no access to their inventory counts.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Throw the Dog in the Pool lor.
3. The Mangager has died of heat stroke.
4. Sept 11 is the most memorable day. Suggest to him/her to get a plane out of the country and come to Singapore.. It is quite cool here.
5. Give her a brochure...can see it immediately.....no need to wait.
6. His/her neighbour (pple next door) got an aircon unit, just ripped it off from neighbour's house lor....it's available and it is right there all the time...
Hope the above helps.. -
Pls tell mom that seldom-used appliances are meant to be sold when they are still in good condition, not when they are lau kok kok and dying.Originally posted by jetta:I just talked to my mum. *haiz* She says sayang to sell something in such good condition. She also says that she uses it once in a while when it rains and she needs her uniform dried in a hurry. Sorry VK. I tried.

Welcome to the Instant Gratification generation, where the world revolves around me and everyone and everything is at my beck and call!Originally posted by jetta:MG, if I were to relate to you the measures these desperate people are driven to, you'd be appalled. Let me tell you anyway?
1. Please don't tell me that your elderly mother is miserably hot in the house. When I tell you that we are out of stock, we are out of stock. I don't have the ability to pull an a/c out of my butt to sell you.
2. Don't tell me that all your dogs have died from heat exhaustion. While I empathise, there is nothing I can do unless you would like to place an order today and pick it up in a week.
3. Don't ask to see the manager when I've already told you that I have none to sell you. What can the manager do? I know that he doesn't have a magical butt either.
4. When I tell you that your best bet is to place an order today and that the earliest pick up date is after 5pm on Sept 11, please don't ask me if it can come in any earlier.

6. Don't ask me who has a/c's available. I don't work there and I have no access to their inventory counts.
7. Don't ask me for phone numbers to all the other Sears stores in town when I tell you that every one of our stores are sold out. There are so many other customers behind you, each equally or more impatient. I neither have the time nor the inclination to do something that you can let your fingers do with the yellow pages.

*haiz* Harmony times I've told her this but yet... *hiaz* Then I have to relate to you another situation. Several years ago on one of my short visits back, she mentioned that her current fridge was kinda small. So the hubster and I took her down to the newly opened Ariston store at Causeway point to buy her a bigger one. That was when we got her the washer cum dryer too since she was getting on in years and I didn't want her to have to struggle with putting the heavy galah in and out of the window. Now imagine my surprise on my next visit the year after, the old refrigerator was still there so she had two in the house.Originally posted by Wanda:Pls tell mom that seldom-used appliances are meant to be sold when they are still in good condition, not when they are lau kok kok and dying.

Why? Sayang to get rid of the older, smaller one since it was still running so faithfully. And the washer cum dryer was so nicely draped, protected from dust. . It's been 4 years since my last visit and I'll bet bet bet that she still has two refrigerators and a draped washer cum dryer. -
My sister is now complaining to me about wanting food in Singapore!
LOL.....I told her I am having masala thosai! -

So she has 2 working refridgerators running in the house?
ps: Since she feels sayang to sell, how about donating to the poor? -

Haiz MG, sometimes I wonder about people you know. Take that elderly guy today who asked to speak to the manager after I told him we had none to sell him. My manager knows zero about a/c's so I was corralled to talk to this customer again. Piangz. I had uttered the very same words to the customer before the manager was involved and the stupid customer was actually polite. What gives man??!?! And you know what rubbed salt into the bloody wound? After I told him that he could order one in for a Thursday pick up, he tells me he was going to go check out other stores in the area. Piangz, when he came in, he was already cussing that other stores had none to sell. So what changed in the 30 minutes he was in our store??!?!?!? People! -

Bo pian. My mum tends to hoard but she's not a chronic hoarder. The house is neat, clean and tidy. Speaking of this, you know when I moved to the States, I never expected to see the horrible state of housekeeping in many people's homes.Originally posted by Wanda: Oh well, i guess you'll have to let her be.
I had a friend who was always neat and clean so you would imagine that her house was the same. Nooooooooooo....... OMG, dishes were piled high and all over the counter; clothes were all over the floor, furniture and everywhere else. The floor was filthy and hadn't been cleaned in God knows how long and nothing was put away. Good grief. -

Rhonda told me just the other day she got complained by a patient coz she was 'rude' as she was not chatty and chirpy as she was feeling ill.
Seriously I think those Australians suffer from verbal diarrhoea coz they can't stop yakking. I have told some Australian friends to shut up before I go crazy -

Not just Australians, Americans too. When I first moved here, I lived in Seattle and had to take the bus everywhere. The first couple of times, when the person seated next to me chatted with me, I thought she was so genuine and I put effort into the conversation. The second time it happened, I thought the same thing. After the third and subsequent times, I was emotionally tired. Good Gawd, they tell you personal things about their life, family, etc, for all and sundry to hear. Then you have other people piping in, in agreement or worse still, to share their own sorry tale. On subsequent rides, I would make myself less accessible by burying my nose in a book.Originally posted by elindra:I can imagine
