1. As I rounded a bend this a.m. a dog ran out in front of my car and when I slammed on the brakes I yelled DUMB ASS!! there were no witnesses so you'll just have to take my word for it. ironically enough I was on my way to Allstate to have the car damage estimate, glad I didn't have rover wedged into the front grill--would have looked bad for my case
2. GE is a liar. LIAR. Drew emailed a complaint about our microwave breaking in less than three years to GE's friendly complaint dept. They said oh how awful we'll send a repairman to fix it on Friday for $75.00. Outrageous I know, could have gotten a new one yada ya. But Father Al thinks we should repair what we have instead of throwing it out to clog our land fills and kill polar bears. I agreed.
When the repairmen got here it was, "Labor is seventy five dollars, you have to pay for the part and you have to pay us for this $75.00 service call even if we don't do anything because we're already here."
The total bill was $189.oo. I won't be able to cook in it because we will be eating off the dollar menu at Wendy's all month to pay for it.
The new part has a five year warranty not including labor. The whole entire microwave only had a one year warranty not including labor.
Tori, give 'em a TAD award please!
Just one thing more: Hear ye Hear Ye, Jean Knee is having a bathing suit issue showing that real bloggers like to swim too. Send me a photo of you sporting your freakieast swim suit pic.
F.I.R.S.T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyer supposed to read the actual post first
ReplyDeleteYou could advertise your microwave on "Dan The People's Ebay" blog...
ReplyDeleteOr send the bill to Father Al. It's all his fault anyway.
I like the second option, he'll probably act like he never heard of me
ReplyDeleteActually, given the state of the Dollar at the moment, I could help you out. £5 should cover it.
ReplyDeleteyou don't think Father Al secretly works for GE do you? youch!
ReplyDeleteYou should point out to Father Al that he got a Noble Prize, lots of money and glory out of his suggestion, and all you got was a bill for $189. You should point out that this isn't exactly fair.
ReplyDeleteyes our currency is declining, lucky for us they're just printing more wink
ReplyDeleteI think he gave that money to some tree huggers. frown
ReplyDeletePrinting more? That's bad for the environment.
ReplyDeletehey!!
ReplyDeleteI was 11th! bwahahaha!
ReplyDeleteok bye.
If he'd given the money to you then they wouldn't have had to print more and there'd more trees to hug.
ReplyDelete11th!
it's all on recycled Toilet paper, which is what it'll be worth when they flood the market with it
ReplyDeletebrian:
ReplyDeleteHA!!!
NOT FAIR!
ReplyDeleteIf you're not really having the day off then you owe us a blog post!
And...
You were up at 4am being first on my blog when all the others were asleep.
Shocking behaviour!
there's that fake Bee again, I wonder who that is?
ReplyDeleteI must admit, though your 11th was VERY neatly timed ;-)
ReplyDeleteshe's had practice
ReplyDeleteJEAN KNEE I'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND READ YOUR POST CUZ RIGHT NOW I'M HIDING IN THE KITCHEN WITH SCARLET. SORRY ON THE CAPS THING...
ReplyDeletethat caps thing happens to me all the time
ReplyDeleteBrian took his marbles and went home, aren't you ashamed now?
ReplyDeleteShe's shameless.
ReplyDeleteduped
ReplyDeleteTime for the Emilia Hour. Back later.
ReplyDeleteSad to say, but these days more often than not it's simpler and cheaper to throw it away and buy a new one - what a slight on humanity, if not the purse.
ReplyDeleteCheers
On the other hand, the Chinese people who are making all the cheap microwaves will be able to eat as a result...
ReplyDeleteHey, that's almost what I paid to get a light bulb changed this week! We could buy a family value meal and share if you lived closer.
ReplyDeleteGE Sucks!
DEFINITE Tad Award!! Ugh!!
ReplyDeleteI would never even think about fixing a microwave, aren't they like 80 bucks ?
ReplyDeleteAre you really a dog trainer ? do you have any dogs ?
I'm actually a dog bone maker
( I'm not in fashion ! )
Need any rawhides ?
what do I need to do to make my dog wash my car ? or plow the snow ?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to tell you this story to try and make you feel better, or atleast laugh at us. Which may make you feel better in the long run.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks ago, we got a movie from Netflix, Mr. Brooks I think, and we were very excited about watching it. We stuck it in to the DVD player, geared up to watch this movie and 15 minutes in to the movie, it starts to freeze. We took the movie out, checked it for scratches, cleaned it, put it back in, it froze again. I said to my husband "I think that DVD player is on it's way out because there's nothing wrong with that disc!" My husband said "Well hell, then I'm throwing it out" and he did just that.
A few weeks later, while on our bulk fix at Costco, we picked up a new DVD player for $160.00
Finally we're going to get to watch Mr. Brooks. We put it in, same place the movie freezes up. Turned out that there was an "imperfection" in the disc causing it to freeze.
So, while your Father Al would frown on us for our wastefulness, he's smiling his way to the bank with your 189.00 check for fixing yours.
Be proud.
that's right Lisa, they do. unfortuunately we have all GE appliances
ReplyDeleteDan, I always need rawhides
ReplyDeletefor the dogs I mean
sorry about your misfortune Tracy, sounds like something I'd do
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side Father Al got mentioned, so that's always good.
ReplyDeleteI went to Nordstrom Jean Knee and now I'm 37, you tell me how that's fair :(
ReplyDeleteTalking about not fair: That repair service is Teh Sux, they should tell you up front all their charges.
ReplyDeletejerks!
Please tell me I am at least 1st in submitting my swimsuit pic.
ReplyDelete1st?
You are a better person than I am... I would have tossed the darn thing and got a new one... Father Al has disowned me... twice...
