Weak. Just man up and admit you acted like a douche. Frankly I'm embarrassed for you with your persistent defence of the indefensible. :rolleyes:

You've posted a few times in this thread. The ironic thing is you seem more angry than I was and you weren't even the one who had the frustration I went through. If you've taken such a dislike to me, you could always just **** off and do something more constructive than waste your time responding here? Just a thought!

Right, I accept I shouldn't have said that to him. I know it wasn't his fault.

Good man. Well done. We're halfway there. All you have to do now is acknowledge the fact that his response, rightly or wrongly, was a result of your initial interaction with him and we can all go to bed.

(Not together though, I don't want to be judged for when I 'arrive')

Says the person who moaned at the DPD driver, phoned up DPD to moan some more, no doubt including ages of hanging on the phone on hold, and has spent hours reading through a thread he made, moaning, replying to people who disagree with his unpopular opinion, despite claiming to have a very busy and productive life. :p

And yet earlier in the day, you were so busy, that you really noticed the hour and a half you had to wait for your package to arrive, while you were sitting around twiddling your thumbs instead of doing something useful. If you were doing something useful you wouldn't have been stewing over the lateness of your parcel!

Probably the dumbest post I've read in this thread.
 
I got a call from amazon saying they had managed to get me a second delivery window and were either seconds away or outside my property waiting.

I waited 20 mins for them to turn up and they didn't, but to be fair i was a bit of a dick to the customer service guy over chat earlier.

It turns out when they offer you free prime as compensation the correct response isn't 'thats pretty ****ing pointless isn't it when i've waited in for a delivery all day, and you didn't get that right'

Karma, I was an ass, they had the last laugh. Although in my case I did apologise as he was sort of trying to do his best, it was the delivery driver who didn't even bother in the first place that caused the issue.

Still I wouldn't have got menstrual about an hour and a half.
 
Call me old fashioned, but there's a saying "the customer is always right".

Look into the origin of the phrase

"The customer is always right" is a motto or slogan which exhorts service staff to give a high priority to customer satisfaction. It was popularised by pioneering and successful retailers such as Harry Gordon Selfridge, John Wanamaker and Marshall Field. "

"However it was pointed out as early as 1914 that this view ignores that customers can be dishonest, have unrealistic expectations, and/or try to misuse a product in ways that void the guarantee and states "if we adopt the policy of admitting whatever claims the customer makes to be proper, and if we always settle them at face value, we shall be subjected to inevitable losses."


Essentially meaning the people in invented the phrase ended up retracting it.. The customer is almost always wrong.


You opened with a passive aggressive statement, if i was the courier i would have had far worse things to say after your initial comment.

People aren't pieces of **** for you to unload your insecurities on, he is working a job and probably has zero control over the time he gets to your door.. Also many couriers want to finish as fast as possible to get home as they don't get an hourly salary.
