There are few things in life more satisfying than delivering a really good mindscrew.

Heh, I like that one.

I haven't used profanity. I've tried erudite questions like: How could you not see me, or how could you not have heard my horn. Well, those obviously haven't gotten anywhere, so I will try the insanity. Won't be hard for me at all.

I found your comic yesterday and proceeded to read every one. Awesome in so many ways.

My boss hated IVR systems. You know, the ones that won't even let you pretend you don't have a Touchtone phone. He said that screaming, "Dwarfs are attacking, dwarfs are attacking," tended to get you to a live agent faster than saying "help" or "agent" or "operator."
Speaking of Touchtone, back in the early 90s, we used IVR equipment to do some surveys. One of the most common complaints was that we were biased against conservatives because Touchtone service cost an extra buck a month and only dam-fool liberals would pay that.
As part of that project, I was watching the console and noticed a lot of errors coming from one port, so I dialed into it to see if maybe the prompts were misfiring. The system used unfortunate wording if the person didn't enter their choices from the keypad. It would say, "I didn't hear your response."
The elderly gentlemen at the other end of the line was screaming at the top of his voice, "What do you MEAN you can't hear my response. I'm yelling as loud as I can."
Some votes just didn't deserve to be counted.

I will now use this every day of my life from now on.

I especially enjoy the fact that you didn't actually use profanity!
Thanks.

i think purple is to easy of a color. If they yelled back BLUE AND RED! i think the rest of YOUR day would be ruined. Maybe something on lines of #44183F

"figure out purple" sounds so familiar… is that *from* something?? Why is it itching the "remembery" part of my brain?!?

good advice!! xD
February 24th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Did you (or someone you know) actually try that?
February 24th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
OH yeah. Very effective.

I think "figure out pink" would be truly puzzling.

Bikes who think they own the road just suck. I cut them off on a regular basis.

Bikers have just as much of a right to the road as you do. I pay state income and sales taxes which are used to pay for the roads, ergo, I do own them in a sense, just like you do.

This comic made me laugh quite hard. Not so good since it is 4 in the morning and people are sleeping.
This comic also made me sign up for wordpress. What else am I going to use it for? Blogs? Do you think I can read? I am offended.

Reminds me of a time when we were driving home from an event and someone cut us off. I yelled something at the other driver, though I'm sure he didn't hear me. My husband did, though, and looked and me and said "Did you just say "Put a hairy pickle in it!"?
At that point, I could not remember what I'd actually said – but it broke the tension and difused our own road rage. Now we just say it when someone does a stupid traffic trick and we get a giggle instead of high blood pressure.

I am also commenting to let you be aware of of the extraordinary encounter my wife’s girl obtained viewing your web page. She even learned plenty of details, most notably what it is like to have an amazing helping style to let folks smoothly know a number of hard to do subject areas. You truly exceeded our own expectations. Thank you for coming up with these useful, healthy, revealing and as well as fun thoughts on this topic to Ethel.
