Had I been there, I would have said “Excuse me sir. I speak Jive. May I be of some assistance?”
Whoa whoa whoa…that’s improper grammar. I’d like to request a troll of a different ethnicity, please.
Remember when you were young and you’d come up with ridiculous “what if” scenarios? All of the threads linked to a few posts above seem to be like that.
My guess is that he’s about 7 years old.
Also, judging by how he’s posted in this thread he’s definitely an asshole (even if you ignore all of the obvious racist crap)
I’m wondering if copperwindow thought if he (she?) asked for a white employee at a Circuit City in Manhattan, that this guy would have come out to help him?
The best response would have been to get some white teenage boy who kept saying “Dude” all the time. Basically talking in the manner I described above.
Or some valley girl type who kept snapping her gum and kept saying, “Oh my GOD!”
Curse you!! I waded through this whole train wreck just to make that joke, and it was stolen from me a mere 5 posts before I could make it! :mad:
Where does that phrase come from?
I’ve read through this whole thread looking for the punch line/irony/whatever. Looks like there will not be one. On the plus side, I’ve gone from being angry to just being sad.
Airplane! From an elderly white woman played by Barbara Billingsley, also known as June Cleaver. You can listen to the last .wav file on this page to get an idea.
Airplane! , I think.
ETA: The OP is, of course, an asshole.
…
Nobody suggested drowning? It may not be particularly pleasant for most of its duration, but it’s guaranteed to work as long as he’s not within sight of someone who can rescue him, and I hear you find peace at the final moment (assisted by the psychedelic dissociation of oxygen deprivation). Even better, he can shoot himself in the head in the middle of the ocean; that way, if one doesn’t work, the other surely will, and he probably won’t suffer as much.
nuh-uh…
This guy. They don’t get much whiter than that!
The OP really needs to take some trolling lessons. Such a weak effort! I mean, he could have gone for crazy troll, amazingly stupid troll, Ron Paul troll, honeypot troll… but no. He went with boring racist troll. Not even virulent racism, either! More like ignorant, irritable, half-senile, grandpa racism. And he couldn’t even pull that off right!
I refuse to believe that anyone could be genuinely stupid and/or naive enough to be able to read these boards for two days and not realize that the OP would spawn a multi-page Pit thread - even if, as he claims in another thread, he’s from the whiter-than-snow land of Vermont (97.95% Caucasian).
Of course, it’s even more apparent when you view his post history, as noted by What Exit?.
I don’t particularly mind trolls that can make me laugh, but this guy apparently ponied up thirty bucks over the course of 15 months in a misguided attempt at being a perfect storm of dull.
And he did so poorly at it, he had to start a thread about lousy customer service (always a message board hit!) and mix in an easy lightning rod like racism just to get some attention.
Maybe he’s some kind of meta troll. Like, a troll whose gimmick is pretending to be incredibly bad at trolling. Yeah, I’m going to go with that. The alternatives are even more pathetic and depressing.
There’s a line between human and customer and another line between customer and asshole, you crossed both of them so completely, that it seems like a swift kick in the ass (at least) is all that’s left for you.
That said, yes, Circuit City should hire people who speak proper English, I’m sure there are hundreds of English Majors who aren’t doing a damn thing with their expensive degrees who would just loooove to work in retail.
Oh, and :rolleyes:
Crap. That’s what I get for not reading the entire thread.
Asshole.
Funny–he was full of piss and vinegar at Circuit City, but he’s too scared to come defend himself on an anonymous message board.
I didn’t know my sister-in-law posted at the Dope.
One wonders what he would do with a regional dialect, like that of Pittsburgh? Or Boston, or Brooklyn? Would he demand to speak to someone from another area, so he could “understand them”?
Wowsers. I’m guessing Troll
Actually, once, just once, I had to ask for a different tech on a Microsoft help line as the tech’s Indian accent was too thick for me. I got a different tech with a nice crisp Indian/UK English accent. She was easier to understand than a few of the Dell Texans I got recently. The Texan Techs had a deep drawl and talked slowly and they needed to ask me to repeat a few times as I talk fast and of course have a New Jersey suburban accent (not the Joisey accent). There were several “please repeats” from both sides.
However, I really think the OP is either just trolling or has some actually issues that cannot be guessed at over a message board. He starts about the highest rate of Ops per posts I have seen on this board for anyone out of the guest period. I can only think of one other poster that came close and he had some mental problems that he even admitted to. He was banned a while ago.
