Is this a joke? I wasn’t aware there was a standard of etiquette to automatically like every comment on your posts or pictures.

I bet you’re a real hoot at parties…
Damn lol those are some high standards
Some guy at Oracle. Dude, I’m not interested in your tax software, fuck off. You’d think he’d get the hint after 15 ignored phone calls and 27 unanswered emails.

Haha those sales guys are awful. I have an IBM guy calling and emailing me weekly despite being told many times we are not doing anything.

Maybe they are emotionless ROBOTS, mechanically and passionlessly targeting you. Sales terminators!
Skynet already has your contact info, bros!

I got a sales call from a guy asking if my organization has any upcoming software projects.
I said yeah, we’ve got a 22 million dollar contract with your company, we’re in the middle of implementation and we’re going live in October.
Even when you’re sold they keep trying to sell!

Ya, lol, we’re already Oracle customers…
I can’t stand the buses. I stay in one of the monorail hotels simply to avoid the bus for at least the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.
On that topic, “Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor, mantagaze a las puertas.”
I REALLY hate the new reservation system for restaurants. We keep kosher, so there are already limited options. Now, it’s basically impossible.
I REALLY REALLY hate the magic bands and how they do Fast Passes now. Used to, we could run counter to the crowd circulation and basically ride everything we wanted a couple of times.
I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate the fact you can’t buy a “Fast Pass for Everything” like you can at Universal. I wouldn’t care if it was $500/person/day. I would totally buy it.

Haha good stuff.
We try to stay in one of the ones behind Epcot, so you walk to Holywood Studios, and Epcot through the back door, and only need to bus it to A.K. For M.K. we walk through Epcot, then take the Monorail. Still not fast, but anything is better than a bus.
Yeah the restaurants… they don’t prevent people from making a shitload of reservations for whatever they’ll be in the mood for and then cancelling them all at the last minute. Makes it pretty brutal even if you try to make them all way in advance.
I dunno what to think of fast-passes, I feel like I’ve gotten damn good at them, adjusting on the fly and snagging 4th, 5th, and 6th ones, but kind of like the old version where you actually had to show up to the ride, grab some ticket thing to come back later. It’s too easy to get them now.
You mentioned Universal… damn I can’t wait until my kid’s old enough to start that transition.
Yeah, they are pricks. We had a part of our business nearly go through the entire process of buying some BI tool until we told them we already have what they were about to buy.
The sales guy never mentioned to them that he had even spoken to our company before let alone sold the damn thing to us.
No shame.
I’ve got a guy that calls 3 times/week trying to get us to move the 401k fiduciary services. Every single time I’m like: “we are closing, there are 3 of us left, soon to be 2. I’m literally selling the damn building. There’s no money for you to make here.”
This last time I told him “never call again.”

Be glad you don’t work in the public world. I don’t answer a call and they don’t leave a VM, yet they show up to board meeting bitching about me.

Me: Hello this is Chris.
Him: Hi, this is ______
Me: What can I do for you?
Him: Sounds like there’s an echo, I’m having a difficult time hearing you
Me: Oh ya, taking a shit, but didn’t want to miss your call and have you show up to a board meeting to throw me under the bus for ignoring you.

In northern tier locations, when a business has an outer door and an inner door at the entrance so you can create an “airlock” and not let cold air in, some troglodyte will inevitably hold both doors open in some misguided act of chivalry and completely freeze the inhabitants.
It is so simple; come in the outer door, let it close behind you, then open the inner door and get inside.
I sometimes contemplate beating these people with a slab of ice, because the muder weapon would dissolve in evidence storage and my prints would vanish.

Makes me wonder what the temperature of the airlock room would be. Closer to the inside temp, closer to the outside temp or smack bam in the middle…
Did You Get My Message?
By Bob Brody
Did you get my email? I sent it last Tuesday. Our company provides software solutions. I welcome any feedback you care to share.
Just following up. You probably missed my first email. Could happen to anyone, even you. Just remember this: Our services are innovative and quite possibly even unique.
Sorry I keep missing you. Maybe my emails are hitting your spam filter or some overly aggressive antivirus program? Let us hear from you. We’re the answer to all your problems.
I know you’ve opened my emails. We can track that kind of activity now. So you’re fooling exactly nobody with this cat-and-mouse charade of yours. Just press “Reply” and type your response. It’s that easy. Or would you rather I reach out via text?
Hey, doing due diligence here. How often do you check your emails anyway? Your lack of response is starting to smack of wanton disregard. Maybe your mother never bothered to teach you any manners—or maybe she never had any herself. How can we best serve you? A response at your earliest convenience would be most appreciated.
Did you get my email? I’m coming back to you once more because I have faith in human nature, however misguided, and believe in giving people a second chance—or, as in your case, an umpteenth. Please feel free to consider this your lucky day. And stop ignoring me with such willful impunity. It’s getting under my skin. After all, our one-of-a-kind suite of predictive algorithm platforms are guaranteed to bring your organization into the vanguard of your industry, if not the Fortune 500. Would you prefer I try you through Twitter ? How about Instagram or Snapchat?
Look, I know you’re busy, you being such an important executive and all, up there in your fancy Midtown skyscraper with all your many executive assistants. I get that. And maybe your behavior passes muster as standard courtesy there in Manhattan, but here in Kansas City we folks still try to be neighborly. So maybe you could spare me five seconds out of your high-powered, Brooks Brothers, Harvard Business Review kind of day to answer my outreach. Would that be so hard? I mean, did I wrong you in a past life or something?
Just so you know, I work on commission. And my supervisor asks me every day why you never answer my emails. And his supervisor asks him the same question, twice a day. I’ve tried to explain that you’re really a nice person with nothing but the best of intentions, but I’m through covering for you. It’s time for you to get real here.
I know where you live.
Did you get my email, text, tweet, Instagram, YouTube video, Facebook and LinkedIn messages? What about my posts on Medium and Tumblr? The Yelp review? I mean, I know you think you’re better than me—with a way cooler car and, like, a severely superior haircut—and maybe you are, but guess what? The last time I looked we still lived in a democracy. And that means we all have an equal right to expect answers to our emails. So what you’re doing is technically unconstitutional. I checked with the lawyer in our strip mall. Look for my subpoena.
Did you get my subpoena? I received your restraining order. Guess we’re even now.
