Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, is from Portland, Oregon. There used to be a brewery in Seattle that brewed Rainier Beer, marketed on the West Coast. Slang in the Pacific NW for Rainier Beer was "Vitamin R". I had a T-shirt with this, the "R" was in the same script as the "R" on the Rainier Beer label. (Rainier refers to Mt. Rainier, pronounced Ray-neer. Some outsiders, knowing Seattle's rep for crummy weather, assume it's "rainier" as in "more rain".)
End of off-topic trivia!!

He called back. Actually his wife did and she was even worse, they were trying to get us to issue a refund.
Even though refunds are issued by the company who sells the vitamins these idiots couldn't grasp that concept. I was on the phone with these people for 30 minutes until they finally hung up, but said they would call back.

Redneck wife
Rw: (super redneck accent) Hello
Me:How may I help you miss
Rw:Well my husband called yesterday about a refund for this low rated vitamin C
Me: like I told your husband, the letters on the bottle do not indicate ratings or quality.
Rw:thats not what my brother told us.
Rg: (in the background) BABY DID YA TELL HIM WHAT YOUR BROTHER SAID
RW: (screaming) YES, let me finish with this guy
Me: Miss is your brother in the vitamin production industry?
RW:NO BUT HE BUYS ALOT OF VITAMINS AND HE FINISHED THE 10TH GRADE
Me: (trying so hard not to burst out laughing)
Me:Miss if you want a refund you must call the store you bought the vitamins from or the company on the label.
Rw:NOW LISTEN HERE BOY WE NEEDS A REEEEFUND, cuz we fixin to never buy crap vitamins from you again
Me: I will onl..
RW:you lucky i gotta go boy I'll call back.
I'm losing brain cells dealing with these people why do they have to be so stupid. i just don't get it, and what are the odds they will call back.

Truly, my brain hurts. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or take a flying header out of the window.
Same here. Wait, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaay too hot to go outside for any reason. I'll substitute the header out the window for running into one of the dining room walls...
And I'd like to take this time to thank MacPrince for the link to confirm my quote.

There's a Dilbert comic, PHB asks Dilbert why he programs in "C" and why can't he switch to "B" programming, as it should be better. This guy seems like the intellectual match of the PHB.
Okay guys, can we start putting a 2-drink minimum on stuff like this? Stories like that are too painful to read without a couple shots in you to act as a buffer.

Is it terrible of me that I kinda hope they call back again? I want to see how much stupider they can get.
We're both terrible, then. I've got a betting pool going with some of the reporters. If they call back and the brother comes on the phone to do some of the yelling, I get $20.
Show me the money!
