try saving the photo of the chair and reverse image search on Google, maybe you’ll find some other websites that sell it under a different name that have more reviews!

Down know why the down votes, all thrown objects travel in parabolic arcs unless you hit escape velocity.

You can also say you want to pay a bill. I find that I get people faster that way.

I think it’s a good tip and like your explanation too. Are you familiar with NLP? Correct grammar doesn’t really matter when you’re trying to persuade in a conversation.

Same here I still tend to think of any year in the 2000s as being a certain number of years from 2020

I got into an "argument" once with a girl who was a former waitress when I suggested that wait staff should be paid actual wages and only tipped if their customer felt they went above and beyond. She was so angry that I would say what I said.

The next one will likely be low and away. But also keep an eye out for "in your ear".

Exactly. Automated menus are how rich companies screen people who they don’t want to deal with.

Do you also give a crappy tip to your server when the food didn't taste good? Do you yell at the cleaning crew in a hotel because the hotel didn't let you do a late check out? Do you give a customer service rep who assisted you and answered all your questions a bad score because a sales rep gave you inaccurate information? Don't ruin another person's day just because you're having a bad day. People are just trying to do their job so they can pay their bills. If you are really not happy with the company just leave the company and take your negativity elsewhere. Or better yet, just save everyone the headache and don't purchase service with any company. Since you hate sales and marketing so much, that will show them!

usually you can just use the whole website name, like my example of +walmart@gmail.com makes it easy

I did this with the landlord of my apartment complex. Every time I pressed “4” for the option of “I am a resident with a question” I got voicemail that was never returned. When I pressed “1” for “I would like more information about leasing an apartment” I got someone before the second ring.
