Pissin me off

According to wikipedia, Anger is an emotional state that may range from minor irritation to intense rage.

I am not sure why but I get angry quite easily, lately. The minor irritation phase converted into an outburst almost instantly as i encounter situations that just boil my blood.

Scene 1 –Me buying a battery for my Nokia 6600 at a crappy shop near my house. They claim it’s original but I doubt it.

Me : How much is this?
Salesman: RM55.It comes with 3 months warranty.
Me: Can u make it RM50?
Salesman: Nope. That’s the best price.
Me: Come on, let’s just settle it with RM50.
Salesman: Cannot. This is good quality. And the price is cheap enough already
Me: Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Salesman: If you want RM50 i can give lar..
Me: Huh? Okay... Thanks
Salesman: [Packing the battery] But this one is only one month warranty.
Me: Why? You said 3 months earlier
Salesman: Yea lah... You want Rm50!
Me: What? You are cutting down the 2 months warranty for RM5?
Salesman: Yes
Me: You gila! (You Crazy! -It just burst out loud)
Me: If I pay RM60, can I get 5 months warranty?
Salesman: No ( awkward smile)
Me: Here, take RM55.

I wasn’t being calculative about the RM5 at all. It’s the way he talk and ridiculous pricing.

***
Scene 2 –Me buying cigarette at 7-11. I buy ciggie from the same 7-11 every single day.

Me: Dunhill Menthol Lights
Cashier: Big one?
Me: Yes. They don’t come in 14s (i've said this about 300 times!)
Cashier: Here you go. [Handing Dunhill Lights]
Me: I said Dunhill Menthol Lights
Cashier: Awh sorry (giggling) and looking all over the place
Me: It’s the light green box next to Dunhill Lights.

Can you listen and read properly?

Scene 3 –Me at home on Thursday night. Not feeling too well and no energy to go out.

Me: One McChicken set, Medium, Coke. One Spicy Chicken McDeluxe.
McD Delivery Operator: Thank you for your order. Total charge is RMXXX… Your order number is XXX. If you don’t get your order within the next 40 mins please call to check the status.
Me: Ok, thanks.

45 mins later

Me: I’m calling to check on my delivery status.
Operator: Can I have your order number
Me: XXXX
Operator: I will check and return your call in a short while.
Me: Ok.

15 mins later

Me: I’m calling to check my delivery status
Operator: Can I have your order number
Me: XXXX
Operator: I will check and return your call in a short while.
Me: No. That’s what the person before you said to me. That was 15 mins ago. And my order was suppose to arrive like 30 mins ago. I’ll hold
Operator: Ok, hold on and I will check

After 4 mins

Operator: Sir, the outlet has confirmed that it’s on the way. It should be reaching your house in 5 mins.
Me: Okay, are you sure?
Operator: Yes, it should be arriving soon. About 10 mins.
Me: Can you please be precise, 5 or 10 mins?
Operator: 10 mins sir.
Me: Okay, thanks.

15 mins later

Me: Can I speak to Ms XXX
Operator: She’s on the other line, may I help you?
Me: I called earlier and she assisted me with my order.
Operator: I can help, can I have your order number?
Me: Okay… it’s XXX and please don’t say you will return my call.
Operator: Hold on, Sir.

2 mins later

Operator: Sir, I’m sorry for the delay but I have confirmed with the outlet and they are preparing your order now.
Me: The person before you said it went out and should be here 15 mins go.
Operator: There was a technical problem at the outlet. That’s why
Me: Now that is not my problem. Why was I told it’s on the way when it’s not?
Operator: Im sorry Sir, it should be arriving soon.
Me: Forget it! It was suppose to be here LONG time ago. I could totally tolerate if I was inform of the real situation.
Operator: There was a technical problem at the outlet, that’s why it delayed
Me: That’s not the point. Just forget it. Don’t send the food
Operator: Would you like to cancel your order, Sir?
Me: YES!!

I went to the restaurant near my house, ordered my food. On the way back to my place (with my food), my phone rang. –This was like 25 mins after my last conversation with the operator.

Dude: Hi, is this Encik Aziz?
Me:Yes. Who is this?
Dude: I’m calling from McDonalds Desa Pandan.
Me: Okay…
Dude: Sorry la abang, tadi ada problem sikit, sekarang order baru nak keluar (Sorry bro, there was a little problem earlier. The order is going out now)
Me: What? Now?? I ordered like 2 hours ago and cancelled the order about half an our ago. Now you are calling me to say it’s COMING OUT? Forget it. Don’t send me the food. You are very slow and inefficient. Don’t send me the food. I'm not gonna pay for this bad service.

And I hung up.

My neighbor’s house was wide open and my housemate was hangin out there. They all heard my screaming. I told them what happen.

I had my dinner at his house. About 40 mins later, a McD delivery guy came knocking on my door. I was still at my neighbor’s place. Since the door was wide open, that guy approached

Dude: En Aziz ada tak? (Is Mr Aziz here?)
Me: That’s me.
Dude: Ni order tadi.. (Your order)
Me: [EXTREMELY MAD]
My neighbor: Kitaorang dah cancel tadi. (We have cancelled the order)
Dude: [Looking confused]
My neighbor: You lambat sangat, dia dah cancel. I rasa you better balik je. [It’s too late, I think you better go]

I think that dude saw the madness on my face and understood that my neighbor was asking him to leave before I go mad.

Slow, inefficient, deaf and not precise -the complete formula to make my blood preassure go very high.

~Cheers!
