Wow. And since then, 1162 replies and 20299 views. I wonder what the 'biggest' thread in the history of Nick's is? Surely this one would have to be up there.

Calling a place for an hour non-stop. You know they're there, they just don't want to answer the phone. That's fine, a phone call that rings out doesn't cost me anything but it sure pisses them off! I rang so often they wouldn't even have had a chance to draw a breath in between separate phone calls. I hope they hear constant ringing in their heads so they can't sleep. I just want to order a birthday cake, is that so much to ask? When I finally get through tomorrow morning, I should make a point of not buying from them on principal. Or I should continue to call all day long tomorrow so they can't take one single order. HA!

Not sure if it still works JJJ, but if you do get through, just don't hang up.

Apparently, this used to keep the receivers line open with no other calls able to get through. Any other incoming calls would get an engaged signal.

I was wondering if that worked. I thought that if they hung up their phone, it would cancel the call on my end too..

With all the upgrades over the years, this may no longer work.

It only worked on landlines though, and obviously, both phones would then become engaged, but at least you knew why your phone would be engaged.

LOL skates. Why skates? hehehe

Something that pissed me off today, STILL on the subject of that damn cake shop - I went to the cake shop today to pick up my cake and I realised something else that pisses me off. You know when you pay someone and they put out their hand and you place the money in their hand? And then when they give you the change, you put your hand out and they put the money on the counter? That really shits me! Lucky they make good cakes because their customer service skills leave a lot to be desired.

(neither odd or happy so this is the nearest I could find)

I was sad today.... :( I even cried :cry:
I was in Biology & a friend of mine, I don't know her all to well but we chat sometimes, was talking to me & my two friends. We were talking about something & ended up on the topic of her mother who died when she was younger. She was telling us all about it & it was SO sad..... My eyes were all watery.
Then my friend who I thought I knew reasonably well tells us that her Mum died when she was younger as well..... I didn't even realise until now.
Out of the four of us that were talking, each of us teared up at least once while one of us were talking. I was the only exception, tears actually flowed. It was SO sad..... :cry:

& yeah, not my favourite Biology lesson. :(

Failing that, tell them you're going for a walk and on the way out the front door, turn off the power. :twisted:

I am just so infuriated it's not f*cking funny!
I went for a walk/run straight after the game to clear my head and take out my frustration before I broke something. Now, on Nicks, a new thread every 2 minutes, all saying the same sh*t. 90% negative.

I'm F*CKING PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :x
