Not fake. He has his own website where he posts exchanges such as these all the time: http://www.27bslash6.com/


Amazing sense of humour. Evidently unappealing to uptight people, however - which is who he targets.

Blockbuster brought back late fees in some countries, and in others it never got rid of them.

Story still sounds made up.

The spider was funny.

The pie-charts (from yesterday) were also funny.

This? Not so much. He's a one-trick pony.

Just pay your bill, dillweed.

FTFY

Rambling is a tactic, I'm sure of this. I am a claims adjuster and my simple questions of "how did this happen" or "when did this happen" will often result in complete authentic trailer park jibberish that makes no sense what so ever.

I'm forced to ignore most the rambling musings.

Blockbastards can burn in hell!

You know you're a barrel of fun when you hate on a humorous internet post about somebody not following the rules.

Its guys like this that... makes the healthcare reform bill thinger have to be 2,000 pages............

impressive

Yeah why is this linked to that forum? http://www.27bslash6.com is the websight where it came from, not sure how longrangeshooter is even associated with it at all besides having reposted it

lol

This is absolutely fake. Her Weeners is way too terse ("our records indicate otherwise"), just for the sake of setting up his next joke.

This is the same guy that did the spider picture...He has a website dedicated to doing this stuff.

Bah, did not see this post mole

I take offense to the Logan's Run dissing in the article. That's some great 70s sci-fi, with some naked Jenny Aguter action as a bonus.

LOL blockbuster doesn't have latefees? You should read the fineprint.

BuckyFellini: Amazing sense of humour. Evidently unappealing to uptight people, however - which is who he targets.

Seeing as how he starts off as a jackass, I don't think he's targetting "uptight people" so much as using the fact that businesses tend to prefer that communication with customers, particularly those who owe them money, follow a certain tone, format and progression for humorous ends. It's funny, but it's a little like being a bully in that the people with whom he is conversing have to deal with eccentrics and jerks all the time and could lose their job with a misstep; they're fairly well forced into responding in a way a guy like this can easily use. (Yes, I know, everyone has a bad customer service rep story.) From what little I've read, the reps are rather courteous to him, anything but uptight, unless "doing their job" qualifies.

This kind of thing really isn't that funny. Because EVERY college kid does shiat like this these days, in every situation, at all times. And as one of the millions of people who encounter these smirking morons while just trying to do their job and pay their rent, I have to say that it's not funny when it's all you hear. Having somebody be polite and settle their business in under thirty seconds would be more surprising at this point in our society.

THis part:

"Dear Megan,

Those prices seem reasonable. I do not want Logan's Run but will pick up the other three when I come in next.

Regards, David."

Absolutely cracked me up.

Christian Bale: This is absolutely fake. Her Weeners is way too terse ("our records indicate otherwise"), just for the sake of setting up his next joke.

good god. Cocked up by the weeners again.

I agree. It's the jackass mentality. That's why we can't have nice things.

This is the type of guy who is a real douchebag in person, though.

Priceless.

The page is blocked at my work (category Weapons)?

ummm. dang. that sentence just stands on its own. rigid.

Wow. We really do sound like a culture of incompetent whiners.

Dude, you kept the movies for three weeks. If you don't like their policy, use Netflix (I do, largely for that very reason). If you like the convenience of driving to the local store to get movies, then either return them on time or deal with the late fees. Whether or not you happen to think it "fair" does not matter - You agreed to those terms, honor them.

And yes, I very well might have really wanted to see Logan's Run, and felt pretty pissed off that they told me, day after day for three weeks, that some inconsiderate twit still had it out.

As for olapbill's link... Wow. Just wow. Clue up, folks - "No Late Fees" describes a marketing campaign, not a total waver of personal responsibility. They have clear terms of rental printed right on your damned receipt - If you can't manage to get it back on time, just pay the fee, don't blog about how the big evil company actually made you honor your side of a legally-binding contract!

For those who "didn't know" that they would directly debit your accounts - Again, read the damned terms of service; but beyond that, why exactly do you think they try really really hard to get you to "ID" yourself with a credit or debit card when you sign up? Doesn't that raise any red flags in your naive little brains about working exactly backward from how "identification" usually works?

I could segue this to a rant on people who complain about overdraft charges, but let's stick with one issue at a time. Financial responsibility, America, Learn some.

Good lord, 1,000 times this.

People still physically go to a place to rent movies?

wow.

If it makes you happier, feel free to replace that word with "Western Civilization".

Good catch, though, and excellent use of selectively quoting just my parting throw-away comment as a means of invalidating the rest of my post. 7/10!

blah blah blah more whiny-biatch text.

Or maybe we just like a simple laugh while we work our office jobs. You actually sound like the whiner here. And a big-faggy-nancy-biatch at that.
