Give me a Gawd d*&&& break!

How fricking PC can our society become. Now Jewish and other non-American spellings are not right. What's next, starting up of Concentration camps and Gas Chambers again.

A problem

There's something I don't understand, when an American goes overseas he's expected to assimilate somewhat and learn the language to be correct, yet if someone comes over here if they're asked to do the same thing it's called racist or bigoted. I can understand his frustation, but he must have expected things like this coming to a nation where English and Spanish are the main languages.

I read the article and I didn't see the part that said he was from another country, nor did I read that he couldn't speak English. Do you think that Philadelphia is overseas or do you know more than what the article stated?

If Philly is overseas I will need a passport to get to work tomorrow.

verizon cs

...is complete crap. i pursued a complaint with them for moths over incorrect phone billing and was put off, lied to and diverted repeatedly until they finally credited me substantially more than i was owed, proving to me they never bothered to actually understand the actual problem at all and just made a business decision to shut me up. fuck them.

Wow

Not that I agree with Verizon's decision, because I don't. But damn.

Once, when I was younger, in the phone book I looked for last names that sounded like the word "f--ker." Then I looked for "Ima" as a first name. I actually found someone like that. Unbelievable.

Like many people, I often use screen names based off of my real name. Like my screen name here. My name really is Ben, and my last name really starts with a C.

And no, before you even try it you can't find my phone number on AnyWho or WhitePages.com. You'd need more characters for my last/family name.

Names

This is absolutely hilarious, but not surprising at all coming from Verizon. When I volunteered at a senior home the director there was named Ron Slaughter. Great name for someone working at a senior home...

just visiting

customer service

just wait till the doctor tries to cancel service -----

the backoffice software will keep billing, no matter what supervisors are involved.

names

Many real names end in shitz or similar, i suppose most just kowtow when faced with govt or a huge corporation. I do seriously doubt that Dikshit is a real name but I know that Penisten is a real family name.

Is he totally security stupid?

No sane person would ever use their full name on an email address unless they are a business. You are supposed to lie, lie and lie some more when you use the internet. Never, ever give personal information like a last name on an email address. Utterly stupid on his part. The first thing I was taught before I got my first computer years ago and took some classes was to ALWAYS lie about your identity when on the internet and especially to lie when creating email addresses.
