You Got A Problem With Me? Do Ya Punk? Oh my, AG has a mini rant...

[rant]
I don't know if it's the full moon or what, but I'm feeling a bit feisty right now, and need to state the obvious.

If you have a problem with a particular product or service, etc then you NEED TO CONTACT THEM - NOT COME CRYING IN HERE ABOUT IT.

You know what? I'm having some issues of my own right now. Did I cry about it in here? Did I start asking what is going on with so and so? NO.

I've been emailing and dealing with my issues with the source.

You have a problem with aweber? Call them up.

You have an issue with so and so's backlinks? email them!

Come on people. What ever happened to getting on the horn and making a few calls and doing some freaking legwork before coming in here with every last issue?

    The fact is people would rather rant about something instead of finding a solution to it. Complaining about something tends to give them a strange sort of emotional satisfaction.

    That's the main reason why you see more and more complainers here instead of solution seekers.

      Too true.

      Plus if you've got something bad to say about someone or something you'll scream it from the rooftops and tell everyone. Whereas when someone does something nice for you, you might thank them and not mention it ever again.

      I'm amazed at the complete lack of common sense more than anything. I come to learn, have fun, and share experiences too. But I also like to see who has some kind of business sense and common sense.

    So true. Most people fail to realize that the easiest way to solve
    a problem with a product they bought or service they paid
    for is to contact the owner or customer service. Whining won't
    solve anything.

      What you need is one of these: Martian Popping Thing - Archie McPhee & Co.

      I really wish they had an affiliate program, but they probably don't need one.

        Ha ha. I've seen those in the store.

        You know what part of my problem is? All my really fun toys are in storage across the ocean and in the mountains. I'm too old now to deal with buying duplicates of everything, and afraid of moving what's there as I don't know exactly how long I might be here. lol

        This is what happens - I'll move it all out here and then I'll unpack it after a month or two, and then I'll have to pack it all up like a week later. Total murphys law with me and moving.

        You know - things a girl needs like her rubber chicken. (you naughty people should know, I have a real rubber chicken and this was not a reference to anything but)

          They've got other stuff I bet you haven't seen in the store. I've already sent CD two PMs with stuff that I think he'd be into from there; he's going to think I work for them or something. LOL.

          Nothing wrong with duplicates. It means you have a backup.

          I have one too. And I also mean the real kind. Actually, I have two, but one is just a little tiny one on top of my old computer.

            Ok, but does yours have the squeeker thing in it so it makes a noise when you squeeze it? cause that's important. The noise thing that sounds kinda like a dying chicken and freaks out your friends.

              The small one doesn't. Not sure about the regular sized one. I do know that it's a Deluxe Rubber Chicken.

              No, it doesn't.

    Jill,

    If it's that "There once was a girl from Nantucket" thing, don't let it get you down...

    Jill,

    It will never work. It makes too much sense.

    Besides, where will people go to get all their "feel sorry for me" stuff out of their system? I think it's how some folks handle stress.

    I'm only half kidding.

      Well, if you are being scammed, there is a forum for that. I just posted it for someone else.

      But that person was wise enough not to mention names, or links, and just stated the experience with an unidentified entity, and I learned something myself in that thread about paypal policy that honesty I would have likely missed. I've never had to do a dispute before though so who knows.

      It's in the delivery. But if your issue is with a specific person or service - not talking about getting scammed but just not seeing the results you expected - then you need to talk to the source first.

      Dan,

      I am sorry for you. Now you need to buy the rubber chicken that makes the noise.
