You betcha. The bastards wrecked one of my stereo speakers, trashed my wall unit and walked away with about 150 CD’s (music). I didn’t notice the music missing till after they had left.
Of course, I was free to sue them over all that but it’d have cost me much more than it was worth. I was happy to get back 90% of my crap from the pricks. About the only satisfaction I got from the whole thing is I that I was to pay them the last half of the moving fee upon delivery of my stuff. Needless to say I refused. The guys who moved me in told me the owner would have my ass. I told them to tell him to bring it on. You may have guessed the fuck never called back…BIG surprise.
Never have gotten my music collection anywhere near what it once was after that fiasco.
Live and learn…pay the few extra bucks for a nationally known moving company if you use one. At least then there is somebody to go after if they fuck around!
I have boundless sympathy for F/As. I realize that they are on the front lines of customer service (I use that term loosely, these are airlines we’re talking about) and they have to deal with customer abuse even when what has pissed off aforementioned customer has NOTHING to do with them. I’d hate the job, myself. I’d be fired 30 minutes into it, after I got done telling a passenger to shove his carryon up his netherhole.
THAT SAID, fer chrissakes, the F/A I had yesterday was such a whiny bitch. One example: We were in the last row, right in earshot of where they congregate to have their little discussions about passengers. They had the inevitable “oops, two people assigned the same seat” problem. The wife of one party promptly grabbed the tickets and blasted her way back through the aisle to go see the gate agent. Didn’t bother a single F/A about it. To get out of the way of other boarders, her husband shuffled back to us. He apologized to the F/A for crowding her and said, in a very conversational way, that he was back there because the seats were mixed up. The F/A let out this sigh and asked for the tickets, and he explained that his wife was looking into it. He was nothing but pleasant. They get it straightened out and the F/As converge to figure out all their little last-minute F/A things and I hear her tell one of the others: “I had this guy back here yelling at me about his seat being wrong. What do I say, I don’t work in ticketing” in this highly exasperated tone.
What a martyr act. What a bitch.
Needless to say, that was supposed to be a new thread, not a reply.
I’ll go sit in a corner now.
I got the tape in the mail today, and it was exactly as described by the other customer–three videos copied onto one tape, most of which is completely unwatchable.
Mr. Pigfucker claims that this is a misunderstanding between him and his “supplier”, and that he would refund my money in full. Of course, the “supplier” business is pure horseshit, and I really doubt I’ll see that refund anytime soon.
Then again, the other customer told me that he has already contacted Jeff McBride, and the lawyers at his publishing company are going after this guy. So maybe he’s trying to buy me out of getting involved in that. If he had just sold me a pirated tape and then said, “Oh, I’m sorry”, and refunded my money, I might be willing to forget it. Instead, he’s lied to me repeatedly, so fuck him.

Doc,
I think that you should contact Jeff McBride’s people all the same. The extra testimony would certainly help him in his claim, you would be extra substantiation to his case againse Mr. Pigfucker.
I’m sorry, but the word “pigfucker” cracks me up everytime! I have purchased items off e-bay 5x and mostly been not totally unhappy. However, I did write some poor feedback on this one guy for the item sent being alittle dirty and he gives me 25% off with a nice apology. If this “pigfucker” (snicker, snicker) is trying to bilk out a living scamming nice folk like you on e-bay, bad feedback is your best recourse.
