I've worked in a local sports bar off and on for the past 7 years and experienced far better behaved people who have been consuming alcohol compared with what I experienced working in retail/customer services. Down to silly little things like having a lady get really aggressive and argumentative just because she was asked to write her physical address and phone number on the back on her cheque. Had a guy removed by security for being extremely intimidating, and kicking things (he kept trying to come back to have another go, when all we were trying to do was follow rules made by those who had hired us in the first place). Have even heard about a full sized adults push bike getting thrown across a counter at a pregnant staff member.
Some people should just stay at home.

Wait. You want me to be nice?
I can be nice, or I can tell the truth. You can't have both.
I lived there briefly, I'm therefor allowed an opinion on it. It would be nice, if it wasn't for the stupid amount of people in a tiny area, the huge traffic jams to get anywhere, the stupid road layouts that don't make sense, the over inflated rates, how stupidly hard it is to buy a house... wait. No it won't be nice. I hate auckland."

Lots of people in a small area? yea, its a city. I've grown up with it so don't notice.
Traffic jams? I have a bike, I filter, no problem.
Stupid layouts? granted its not a gridlike as wellington, but again, grown up with it.
rates/house market? I live with my parents. No problem.
You have your opinion and I respectfully disagree with it."
"QUOTE=GingerMidget
You live with your parents? How old are you?
Go disagree somewhere else. This is my thread, and I don't care for your opinion."

"Old enough thanks.
This is an internet forum. Granted there is a lot less anonymity then some because of the geographic boundaries of the users and how often they meet up, but you can't stop people from airing their opinions especially when yours are out there.
To be honest i'm disappointed my throwaway comment generated this response."

Yeah...I don't understand the mentality either![]()
When Life thows me a curve
...I lean into it!
Personal abuse on the inter-thingy is ok. In ya face and face to face is not ... apparently ...
However ... on one of the few times I was in the service of the general public ... I politely advised the overly excited and partially deranged (the polite description) person I was dealing with ... "I'm new here ... be polite ... and fill the form out the best you can on your own ... or I can get my superviser to help me with it when he's free ... in about an hour. Would you like to wait ???"
They managed the form with no further comment. (in less than 5 minutes)
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
Unless ginger-midget is a 30 year old single mother, who can swim.. then I should think this is the case...
But I fear Nova was expecting to see a larger marine mammal, the Whale... a somewhat similar sized animal in comparison with his own solo mother..
