Unseen but seeing oh dear, now they're masquerading as sane-KiaKat There isn't enough interpretive dance in the workplace these days-Irv 3rd shift needs love, too

This is why I'm greatful that I'm on the phones and if someone get's too bad I can have the call "accidently" drop (and if the person is really bad management will appreciate it because they consider us a somewhat first line of defense because if the person is a dick to the people on the phones they will be dicks to the other guests and will cause more problems than they are worth).
My favorite variation of that is
sc "what's the best price you can do for me tonight"
me "with what I have available I can do an x room at y rate"
sc "I know you can do better, you wouldn't want the room to just sit empty tonight"
...now it's gotten to the point where I say
me "to be honest sir, we've already met our sales goal for tonight, in fact to start selling additional rooms tonight we will have to pay the housekeepers overtime tomorrow, so at this time yes I would rather have it sit empty than rent it out for a lower rate"
... i have no idea if that is true or not, but it sounds good

There's also MPS (Micro Penis Syndrome) and NPS (Nano Penis Syndrome).
You forgot Miniscule Penis Man, my dick is the size of my brain man and my personal favourite, the biggest tosspot ever to grace the face of the planet man.
How pathetic do you have to get that you get your rocks off by bullying and intimidating other people who have a perceived lower status than yourself, which brings me nicely onto my quote of the day.

Yes: advocating food contamination is against the rules here.
As for the main topic of conversation: my husband once worked for a company whose management had thoroughly pissed off every IT supplier in the city, to the point that they had nowhere to get computer parts.
My husband took the contract as their IT guy before he knew that, of course. Anyway, his reputation in the city was good, so he ended up managing to interface between the company and the IT suppliers, getting service on the promise that he'd handle the company and the supplier only needed to contact him.
Naturally, the company's managers would sometimes bypass my husband and go straight to the supplier - and the supplier would cut off supply again.
Eventually, my husband left for a lower-paid but less stressful job. And the company has to ship computer equipment in from interstate because noone local will deal with them again.
Seshat's self-help guide:
1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

Regret not selling him anything? They need to learn it is not how much money you HAVE, it is how much money you SPEND that matters.
Damn straight. And funny enough, I've noticed that the more mouthing off this twits do, the less they usually spend, making them even *less* worth the hassle.
