Major Service FAIL

The following 2 video clips had me in hysterics! Who actually BUYS this stuff?!?

I had to repost these- if you liked them, you can probably find more at: http://rabid-librarian.blogspot.com/

A businessman met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the afternoon with her for £500. They did their thing and before he left, he told her that he did not have any cash with him, but he would have his secretary write a cheque and mail it to her, calling the payment " RENT FOR APARTMENT."

On the way to the office, he regretted what he had done, realizing that the whole event had not been worth the price. So he had his secretary send a cheque for £250 and enclose the following typed note:

"Dear Madam:
Enclosed find a cheque for £250 for rent of your apartment. I am not
sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the place, I was under the impression that:

1 - it had never been occupied;
2 - there was plenty of heat; and
3 - it was small enough to make me feel cosy and at home.

However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, that there wasn't any heat, and that it was entirely too large."

Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the cheque for £250 with the following note:

"Dear Sir:
First, I cannot understand how you could expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely.
As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on.
Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if
you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the
management.

Please send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your
present landlady.

I can if I don't think about it too much. But walking and sending a text message? Beyond my talent. Apparently a lot of people in London are having probelms with it too- check out this video:

Of course, I don't get the point of texting in the first place. The whole reason I have a cell phone is so that if I need to talk to someone, I can CALL them. Why spend time typing in a message I can deliver by voice in less time?

One of the fraud squad detectives sent an email photo out asking for help identifying a suspect using a stolen credit card in a store. He apparently was a little vague as to who in the photo he was trying to identify, because we got this email a few hours later:

I apologize. The Attempt to Identify is on the white female at the counter. I appreciate everyone’s efforts to identify the people in line, the lady in the wheelchair, the children, the employees, etc.
