Oh people employed in the Timberland shop in Sendlingerstr., Munich, please note that over-attentiveness and running over to "help" as soon as someone thinks about picking something up is not condusive to a pleasant shopping experience.
Ever heard of personal space?! Abstand is a great concept - learn it.
It is like you think I'll shoplift or something.
If I want help, I'll ask thank you, assistants are not assisting when they make potential customers feel persecuted.
If I want a shadow, I'll stand in the sunlight.
And if I have to answer "can I help?" with "Yes, I want to look in peace, please" again, I really won't come back to your store.
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Back the fuck up, people!
You never been shopping in the USA?
Katrina

Yes I have - and you do get left alone, when you ask to be left alone there, in my experience at least.
The store is in Europe, it will mostly have Europeans shopping there and many Europeans do not like to be hassled.
And I really don't like having to go and tell every single member of staff to back the fuck up before I try and shop.
Because basically I know what I want and the staff do not.

Why? The FBI find out where you were living and you're sick of life on the run? For good sounds very "this isn't my choice".

No you miss the *bugger it* point chaps. All of the posts are potentially acceptable as long as you inject some *fuck fuck* vent into the posting. So just think yourself *shit bollox" into Tourette Syndrome mode, and then *piss cock wank* anything you post here is acceptable.

Its 2007. 2000 and fucking 7. Why in the name of fuck then does a fucking company send me a afucking form, on fucking paper, to fill in with a fucking pen. Pen and fucking paper?!?! shall I send it back by fucking carrier pidgeon?
so what fucking bollocks does this form want? Yes, of course, the same fucking information that they I have already given to them, like my fucking name and address. But no, I have to fill them in on a fucking form, with a pen. Then nou doubt some krout bint secretary will have to decipher my scrawl, and enter the details manually into a computer.
FUCKING IDIOTS.

I used to be able to make google work for me, now I just don't get that same adolescent thrill out of entering "gaydogporn" or "midget jazzmag" or "stuffed badgerporn" and sitting back and lolling myself to sleep. This makes me angry - WUTENDSCHEISSE as Jerry would say wotwot. I need a new vice.

I have no money
My boyfriend accidently took all my German bank and credit cards with him to China and all I'm left with is my Canadian bank card which I haven't used in so long that I can't remember the pin. The stupid woman on the phone said she couldn't reset the pin unless I can make it to a bank machine of that particular bank within 2 hours. Unfortunately these banks can only be found in Canada.
Apparently there is no other way I can get a new pin number so now I'm flat broke until my boyfriend comes home next wednesday.

I suggest you slap your boyfriend's naked testicles with a hockey stick. This appears to be the current favoured punishment of choice amongst the TT ladies.

You might be able to get money from your German bank account if you show up there with your ID and bank account number; you don't go to an ATM but to an actual person.

I am such an idiot!!! I went to bed two hours ago, and can't sleep.
So I think. And the other minute I thought, "did I actually ever e-mail the list of hours I worked in March to my boss?" So I got up all panicky and checked in my sent folder, and there is nothing. The deadline for me to send it in is the 26th. My boss has to snail mail it to accounting too (accounting dept is in another branch, in Cologne), too, so it probably won't make it there till Monday. I just hope they will still pay me in April (usually they don't actually pay me until around the 8th-10th anyway so I have some hope they will process it anyway), and I won't have to wait till May (seeing as my pay is about 30% of the money I have available each month). Fuck fuck fuck! My brain has obviously been on vacation since I've come to Munich!
Not to mention that I can't sleep and have to get up in 3.5 hours!!!
I am over-qualified for my job! FUCK..PROMOTE ME!!

In case anyone was waiting with baited breath, I went in this morning with my account number and passport and after a fair amount of faffing around I was able to take money out of my account.
Crisis averted!

Musta been torture in Hawaii, then!
I am venting at the
Ammer tent who should be available by phone Tuesdays and Thursdays 8am - 2pm, but when I called this afternoon at 1pm I got the answering machine with the message: Our office is closed during Easter Vacation from April 2 through April 16.
Hel-LO??? Is today MARCH 29 or not? Frigging chicken-plucking slackers.

People who use an escalator and at the top they just stand there, thinking which way to go and not move one bit, causing jam, don't care what's behind them - those people piss me off !!!
And people who want to find out a phone number or an address and then they have nothing to write, to write it down and spend a minute to find a pen and paper. What's this all about ?? Can you not prepare yourself before making a call ??
Jesus give me strength...

I hate it when I'm really tired because I haven't slept and instead of sleeping I go out for drinking stupid amounts of beer and come home at 2 in the bloody morning.
PS: and even worst instead of going to sleep then, I decide to get an update of what happened in TT and start posting.

Hay fever. I'm starting to sneeze like every 30 minutes for five minutes, my eyes look like I've been on the piss for the last 48 hours solid, and the roof of my mouth is itching. Dumb thing is when I'm outside it's not that bad. Hay bloody Ho Fever.

@ Carm: I am sure this has happened before, the vent sounds familiar. Speak to the powers that be about it again.
I could gladly strangle my insurance agent: I called him yesterday requesting the insurance confirmation for my car and he faxed an incomplete form, but I didn't find this out until I had driven 30km from Lohhof to Grasbrunn. Frigging waste of time, gas and nerves.
Another vent: Frigging co-drivers who barrel on up my tail after I have slowed down due to a speed limit and congestion warning sign flashing on the Autobahn. I hope you all get blitzed and fined within an inch of your lives. And smash into each other, just leave me out of it!

FFS!! Trying to get someone to come out and look at a leaking roof of a couple of flats I have just bought. How hard can it be!!!
First guy doesn't turn up then rings me half an hour later to rearrange!! Ya think?
Second guy turns up without a ladder!
Third one actually gets as far as giving an estimate and then says he couldn't do it for about 2 months!
I give up!
