Default useless people.

how many times a day/week do you deal with someone who is completly useless? ive been paying off this tax bill every few days cause i couldnt afford to do it in one big hit. today was supposed to be the last payment, but ofcourse the person at the post office was some dumb p***k of a thing that should be taken out the back and put down.

i handed her the form and said can i pay the rest of this thanks, it should have $688.25 owing. she said how much?. i repeated the sum slowly and clearly but not in a rude way. she said yeah and scanned it, i swiped the card and all that.

the reciept printed out and i went shopping, got home a few hours later only to find out that the dumb ИИИИИИ has typed in $688 not $688.25 lol, so ive gotta go back tomorrow to pay 25cents.

i know i should have checked it but seriously the one day i decided to put a little bit of faith in someone.......... think i need a beer.

I work with useless licencees, and they can be annoying.

But I won't repeat what has happened, cause I'll just get angry...

I'm a furniture removalist. I work with different people, from different parts of the world and different walks of life five days of the week.

You'd be amazed at just how many completely useless people there are in the world.

Me and dad are dealing with someone useless at the moment, the damn bank.

He was supposed to have his loan which 1,500 of it was coming to me for my car, which i've already put 1,500 on my EF which is waiting to be paid off and picked up.

The bank has already approved the loan, my dad asked about 2 weeks ago and last friday she says "oh it's been approved, now we need to send out more forms, should arrive on monday or tuesday".

Didn't arrive today, so tommorow i guess.

VERY sick of waiting.

well if there werent any useless people in the world then everyone would work together and get something done. but unfortunately that just isnt the case and we are left with them being in serious managerial positions and running the country . in fact there are so many of them now that they have to keep creating new positions to manage the useless managers who lookafter the useless rules. but if they didnt have useless jobs they would be on the dole because they are to useless to do anything with inteligence .

I was dealing with useless people for 2 months... the bank. I got broken into in January and they stole my wallet along with some other things. So first thing I did was call the bank and cancel my credit card. The guy at the other end told me it was cancelled and gave me a "lock" number. Told me my card would get to me in 5-7 days. I asked for it to be sent to my work address and he said that was fine.

A month later, I realised that my ISP was charging my "cancelled" credit card. So I call the bank and asked them wtf was goin on. Woman on the other side said the card was never cancelled. I'm like... WTF?!? So she cancels it and says the card will be there in 5-7 days. Again, I ask for it to be sent to my work address.

Another month passes and I STILL dont have my card. I call them up and crack the ИИИИs. Demanded that they issue me my card immediately and have it sent to my work address ASAP. They said yes sir, we'll fast track it.. and it will be 5-7 days. I replied get ИИИИed, 5-7 days is not fast tracking. Pull your thumb out of your ИИИИ and get it to me in 3 days or less. I get the card on the 4th day in the mail.

I've just got to home to my "residential" address in Victoria and my parents tell me that I have 2 credit cards waiting for me on my desk. I dont know if I should trust the bank with my money when they cant even issue a credit card properly.

We employ a useless person as a company rep in Queensland. I'd like to elaborate but there's far too much explain. Lets say that it's a running joke with the employees and both directors about where he'll stuff up next. Yet amazingly he still has a job, WTF???

so get this im back at the post office today and they scan the form. i ask if they can tell me exactly how much i still owe. the guy says the original figure that i owed when i first received the bill. i asked how can that be possible and showed him the reciepts that had been stapled to the form. he looked at me, shruged.

i payed the 25cents and got a receipt.

will ring the tax man tomorrow just in case. i can see it now, my account has been billed but it hasnt been sent to the ato or something completly f-ed up like that.

If you feel like you deal with a lot of useless people imagine working at Centrelink... Both the workers and the people coming in...
