Last week I had
"I need ID with your address on for this parcel"
"OK, I'll have to come back as I don't have anything on me"
"Do you have a credit card?"
"Yes, but it doesn't have my address on"
"Never mind, it has your name, thats the same thing"

I decided to go to Whitfords to get a few things, parked in the sail car park (loads of spaces btw) only as I walked away from my car a woman was shouting after me.

Woman: You've parked in my space
Me: But there are lots of spaces, there's one next to me
Woman: But I always park there
Me: Well I didn't know that and I didn't see you waiting or signalling to go into the space
Woman: I've just got here, I always shop at this time and I always have that space
Me: Well I'm not moving, I'm in a hurry, as I said there are lots of spaces and one next to me
Woman: But it's my lucky space and now I won't be able to go shopping

At this point I didn't walk away I ran from the nutter.

Go into Big W as I needed a plastic storage box for paperwork. Luckily I found loads of boxes (50 odd) all neatly stacked for $7.48 each. At cashiers find there is no code sticker on box. She calls for someone. the 5 women chatting at the Customer Service Desk ignore her until one yelled out for assistance from another girl. Other girl comes storming over - row ensues between 5 women and other girl. Meanwhile huge queue is forming. Other girl then storms over to me and cashier and shouts out "They come in a set of 4".

Me: Oh I didn't realise as they are all separate on the shelf.
Girl: No they aren't.
Me: I'll show you and then you can see for yourself
Girl: (Huffing and Puffing) ttttttttttt

Duly showed her the boxes.

Girl: Well you've pulled off all the cardboard.
Me: What do you mean
Girl: The boxes were all in 4's and had cardboard round each set and you've pulled them off.

By now I'm seriously thinking I am in a parallel universe where only numpties live. Told the girl she should get some lessons in Customer Service (feeling brave) and walked out.

This is the best. Get home to find an express post letter.

27th November

Dear Mrs xxxxxx

You recently applied for a position as a receptionist but were unsuccessful. However, as we have been unable to fill the vacancy we have revisited failed applicants and wish to invite you for an interview at 9am today.

Please confirm your attendance.

OK. how the hell can I go for an interview at 9am on the same day the letter is written when the post doesn't arrive till after midday the next day.

So I ring them and end up speaking to a temp.

Me: I received a letter today with yesterday's date offfering me an interview at 9am yesterday. Have you got the dates right.
Temp: Oh Mrs xxxx. You didn't get the job
Me: Yes I realise that because I didn't go to the interview because you sent the letter too late.
Temp: Yes a letter is in the post telling you you weren't successful.
Me: Do you understand what I'm saying. (I then go on to explain about dates bla bla)
Temp: But you didn't come for the interview
This goes on for another minute or so, she still doesn't get it. Suddenly another person comes on the phone asking what the problem is. I explain again.
Other person: But you didn't attend the interview.

By now I'm ready to scream obscenities at her but didn't.

I explain again.

Other Person: Oh I understand now. You should have phoned us to say the letter didn't arrive on time.

I HANG UP:curse::curse:

What is it with this place - Bloody numpties everywhere. I obviously attract them.

So now you've all had a laugh please tell me it's not just me
