Call BS on That!

Calling out companies for their BS

There are few things I hate worse than picking up after other people and every few days that is exactly what everyone in Irvine has to do. M & D Flyers Distribution hires illegal aliens who don’t speak a word of English to deliver flyers to houses in Orange County. These well trained (according to M&D’s own flyer) flyer distribution engineers will take a handful of flyers from local businesses and simply drop the pile on the doorstep of every house in the neighborhood. Seeing as how there is typically a small breeze wafting through the area, these flyers rarely end up in the hands of the intended recipients, instead, they end up all piled up against walls and fences as they are blown all over the place.

Look, you are cheap bastards who are trying to make a buck in a low margin business, we get it, but littering is against the law and you are paying illegal’s to litter in my front yard, that’s worth several strikes against you.

Hire people that you can explain not to litter in people’s yards, then explain it to them, and then quiz them, and then test them. DO NOT let them throw trash on our doorsteps.

For hiring illegals, not training people, allowing the flyers to be tossed in our yards, and doing a grave disservice to the companies that paid you to put flyers into our hands (who we refuse to do business with because of this), we have to call bullshit on M&D Flyers Distribution.

If you suspect this company of littering in your area, feel free to call them at (714) 906-9131.

Four hours of negotiation later we finally have a workable deal. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the following week we had to completely redo the financing. A few weeks later we realize the passenger door doesn’t have the electronic door lock installed, that was another $100 expense. To add the final insult to injury we just got this incredible refund check.

Yes, that’s right, its a ONE DOLLAR check. Ok, let’s do some basic math here. The check paper itself probably cost 25 cents, the envelop probably another quarter, an accountant making $60k a year probably had to enter data and print the check, at three minutes of time that works out to about 75 cents. Let’s not forget the 42 cents for postage which we will assume covers the mailman delivering it. Now I bill my time at $125 an hour, so in the two minutes to walk to the mailbox and back and go through my mail I could have billed $4.16. All told, let’s round off and say this check probably had an economic impact of about $5.83 cents! Hey, good effecient of time and money their guys. For this total waste, I call BS on Power Toyota.

First off, stop leaving crap in my yard! Whoever is delivering your flyers tosses them on the ground, that is not advertising, its littering, and its against the law! Second, I take great offense to the flyer itself. I have taken the liberty of putting a circle and an arrow pointing to the section of this great literary tome that causes me to become a bit irate. Do you see it? If not, let me show you a better view of it.

OH PRAISE THE LORD!! A construction crew in the United States that SPEAKS ENGLISH!! Oh my stars and bars what a miracle this is to find a company that speaks English in AMERICA!!! Look here “Gas”, you had better freaking speak English if you are in our country, and you better be hiring legal citizens, and you had better be paying your taxes or I am coming after you like shit on stink. How DARE you insult us with this garbage. This is AMERICA, we ALL speak ENGLISH here you tard! Where do you think you are? I encorage everyone who reads this to call their office and CALL BULLSHIT ON THIS!!

July 1st, 2007, We moved into a brand-new apartment. They wouldn’t allow water-beds, so, after 25 years of water-bed sleeping, we bought a brand-new ‘regular’ mattress. $700., and since my daughter needed a new mattress, we bought one for her as well. Jump to Feb. My wife and daughter are freaked out!!! Keep finding little brown bugs all over their bedrooms, and in their beds!!!

I have no clue what they are, so I keep spraying “Raid” all over the place.

Thinking “Bed Bugs” I go online and look them up. Sho’ nuff, we have bed bugs!!! First call is to a bug exterminator, next call to L.A. Mattress where we bought from.. Their reply, (in essence) “So sad, too bad, your warranty doesn’t cover bed bugs, and you can’t prove they came from our mattresses any way”

Say WHAT?????? Not only do I have to pay $228 to have our home ‘de-bugged’, but I have to throw way a $700 mattress and go out and buy another one. What kind of mattress company would want that kind of bad publicity?

I went to “Sit n Sleep” for our new mattress, they said if anyone ever complained of bed bugs after buying from them, they replace everything no questions asked. So…B.S. on L.A. Mattress!!!!!

…Pulling up to the electro-fized, computer-ized McSquawk box. There is one car ahead of us, sitting at the box for a protracted period of time. At first I thought it was was of those dumb-@$$es we’ve all encountered who just can’t seem to get the hang of the drive-thru.Waiting. Waiting. The guy ahead of us just sits. He doesn’t talk to the box, or lean his head out, or attempt to read anything on it. He just…..sits.  We wait some more…..continue reading for this rest of Rob’s tale of BS.

PhotoDude writes: I used to use Craigslist to get work once in a while doing wedding photography but over the past year this has degraded into such a pile of garbage as to be completely worthless. The problem isn’t Craigslist, its people who think they are doing photographers a favor by allowing them to shoot their wedding for free. These numbskulls have no clue what is involved in doing wedding photography and can’t fathom that it is an insult to think that you are so hot that you alone are going to make my photography business simply by having you in my portfolio.

It’s been almost 30 years since the Carl’s Jr launched the ill-fated Taco De Carlos chain but the irony is not lost on the name. Don’t get me wrong here, I am not a racist, I hate all people equally if they fit into distinct groups such as idiots, assholes, criminals, and terrorists. Hell, let’s throw in most lawyers and people with the little fish symbol on their business cards…but I digress. Here is southern California, Carl’s Jr, who under the leadership of Carl Karcher, cleaned up major ghetto areas in Anaheim, is turning the tables on this old policy. On NUMEROUS occasions at local branches, they have hired a crew that lowers the standard on fast food, as if it could go lower.  Continue reading for more of the story.

Cox Cable’s website has a nice section explaining the myths about satellite TV. After deciding to switch off DirecTV this week and switch over the Cox’s “Everything” package to save $40 a month off my DTV bill, and after only a few hours deciding to cancel the Cox service I felt I needed to debunk all of Cox’s debunking. Read on for a complete description of all of the BS I went through with Cox and their “cheaper” package.
