"Do you need to do anything to open the doors for me?" he asked reception, thinking maybe they need to press a button to unlock them or something.
"Just pull...".
"One word from you, There", he muttered, "and you're fired". I couldn't stop laughing for quite a while.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Lean back and the thing would keel over.
The gits knew it did that but didn't warn me.
But it did break the ice and we got on fine after that.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

As for when, well, when he's no longer a fat chunt, I guess. Now, being who he is, that isn't going to happen fast is it.Comment

Originally posted by Old Hack View PostAh yes, that old nuggest, yet if you followed the thread, you'd notice the stalking was on the other foot. Not wanting to point out the error of your ways or anything, but maybe a little check first would reveal something, maybe? Possibly?

Originally posted by xoggoth View PostReminds me of a time a copuple of us were visiting a client and he was standing right in front of the lift to greet us. We started saying hello and shaking hands and the lift doors closed and we went back down.
One day I got a call from the cleaner on my own phone saying she had locked herself out. I could also hear the steam iron puffing away.
HOW THE HECK ARE YOU PHONING FROM MY PHONE WHEN YOU ARE LOCKED OUT?
I couldn't understand what she'd done until I got home, took the lift up and saw her keys in the lock on the lift side of the door. The lift door had shut while she was locking up to leave, and she'd panicked and let go of the key.
How had she got in again? Some workmen were in the flat next door and they let her in and helped her climb over the dividing balcony wall. Fortunately she had left the balcony door open.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Of course, you are right about the thread, but I'd check the stalking order again, were I you.Comment
