Where Did You First Hear About CS?

[SilverOrb]

I was just reading a post, and wondering about how everyone first came to hear about Customers Suck...

I don't even remember myself... I think I was just grouchy one day and typed "customers suck" and there you go!

Devil's Panties. I looked at the links to her other comics, found the Customers Suck comic, which led here.

Same as HFP, Jennie Breeden all the way.

Usenet for me. I was lurking in something called alt.tech.support.recovery - pretty much a newsgroup that was for techs complaining about stupid users. Not been there for years - was dead last time I saw it.

Anyway, someone came on who had a set of retail tales - he was pointed to several retail worker sites, and I followed the links.

The world was never the same.

I can still remember my first post and Mad Mike greeting me - I think it was just after he became a moderator. I don't remember the entire post, but part of what he said was that it looked as if I'd fit right in. Guess he was right

I cant even remember to be honest

I do remember the first people I talked to were Mad Mike and a member called something Bassist (I can't remember his first name).
The first story I read was the vinegar saga and laughed my head off.

My friend Liz showed me the comics, and I loved them, but didn't go to the forums. A few months later, I checked out the main page and read the War Stories, then a few months after that, went into the forums.

Never been the same since. Seriously, I love hanging out here.

I dunno why Raps, but for some reason I just always thought that you created the site... Along with a few others like Mad Mike, Junior Mintz, etc etc....

Geebas on Parade -> Devil's Panties -> Customers Suck Strip

One of my friends at school likes reading the posts and War Stories, and showed off the Vinegar Boy story to me. I liked the idea of a place to vent about the sheeple we deal with on a daily basis, and was won over right away.

Devils Panties > Twisted Knickers (isn't that here?)

I forget where I found it originally...I came across it somehow several years ago, and lurked for a while, and then just sorta stopped reading and forgot about it. Then I happened across it again a couple years ago, shortly before I signed up. I was reading one day, and read a post by someone who wanted to know how best to let their local B&N store know what a great experience they had. Since I'm all for my company's people getting the recognition they deserve, I joined so I could post an answer...and the rest is history...

Edit: Going on 2 and a half years...wow!

I remember years ago just google-ing "customers suck" one day because I'd had a really rough day with the people in the store that day.

The site was then owned by Mr. Slugger (I believe that was his name) and the first story I read was "Vinegar Boy". I was hooked. That site had some old-school video games and also had mugs with the logo available to buy too.

That's the best google search I've ever done!!!

I was lucky enough to stumble upon it..this site and notalwaysright.com.

Odddly enough, the first story I remember reading is also the Vinegar boy one. LOL. Weird how somethings stick with you.

[crazylegs]

I first joined many years ago before a few hacks when George/Mr. Slugger owned the place. Oddly enough I have no idea what I first read, although I do know there sub forums for sucky passengers etc...

I was searching for a particular joke (I think it was a "Work Name Generator") and I accidentally came across this place through a link.
