@aucklandwarlord the self scan here doesn't stop for alcohol etc until you go to pay and they've recently started having a little checkout screen type thing down the end where the supervisor stands so they just tap the screen there rather than having to come over and fuck about.

@snowy also men have a habit of breathing really heavily down phones so you'd probably end up with the police being called.
How do you know it's not asthma?

GOM moment today - these pieces of trash criminals who target hospital carparks in a pandemic and our piss-weak justice system who will just release them on bail to do it all over again next week, just like that criminal who got caught and got a hiding while running through the backyard of a boxing coach in Hamilton last week.
Criminals caught offending during a lockdown should be treated the same as Christchurch judges treated those caught looting in the redzone - immediate remand in custody for taking advantage of stretched law enforcement resources.
Wanted: Police release photos after nurses' cars targeted at Auckland Hospital
The 'distressing' and 'disrespectful' thefts have hit frontline workers battling Covid.

Agree with the sentiment but you would then stretch the remand facilities which are already under pressure while courts aren't operating fully.

It's very difficult to know what she says to men to elicit this response, even in a call centre.
It may kick in a medical condition, but I suspect pre existing conditions would be there at the start of the call though. Occam's razor would suggest that it is during the course of the call that she triggers something that instigates heavy breathing. Most likely the angst at having an Amazon account hacked triggers a damsel in distress response from the call centre guys. Can't think what else would do it?
There may be consequences for that post.

Yeah that air of superiority is pretty prevalent in all my dealings with people from the Bourne.

Us humble folk can cope with superior beings from middle east bourne.
I would probably enjoy a call centre job. I could drive people absolutely insane and now that @R-L has enlightened me to the recording rules....Fuck. So Much fun to be had.

Fucking offshore IT support cretins who can't read a fucking ticket request.
I didn't want my password reset to a 16-character complex piece of shit I can't remember; I wanted you to look at my server admin account and figure out why I wasn't allowed to reset it myself aka I fucking KNOW why: because I asked it to be set up with "Password never expires" and "User cannot change password" and you dumb fucks agreed.
NOW it's a security issue?

Why are people so shit. For what appears to be for no reason mine and a patient's driver side windows were smashed in our car park today. So pissed off.
My poor little Steve Coogan has been abused.Grumpy as fuck.

Geez, sorry to hear that. Hope it's not too much of a hassle to fix.
Pond life who do this sort of shit could do with a visit to @snowy 's cellar...

@victor-meldrew let's not summon the dark one, he's busy in the basement trying to get all of his "staff" vaccinated, and they aren't cooperating by the sounds of the covid nz thread.
Meh, I'm grumpy and Steve feels dirty now, like the time I let an Audi driver park him for me. Time for a new car I think. And I've got big gin lined up for later as I've sulked at work and I'm going to WFH tomorrow.

You could sound a bit more grumpy about it.
He's asthmatic so he's probably already in a huff.
