Life's luxuries

There's a something special about life's little luxuries, isnt there? And i think i've found another one of them.

When one goes grocery shopping, we always look for the cheapest deals, right? And that goes for mundane things like toilet paper. Well, i decided to go against the trend, and splurged on bog rolls. I bought the most expensive, thickest, multi-ply'd, fragrant paper i could find. I just had to find out if there really was ANY difference! I mean, at the end of the day, they all have the same purpose, and its purpose is pretty simple, so how different can companies make them!?

Let me say this...... it IS worth the extra dollar or two for super thick, quadruple ply, soft, pleasant smelling toilet paper. Tis indeed a luxury everyone should afford........ :)

phone freaks

Ever since that Seinfeld episode where a telemarketing call centre calls Jerry, and he toys with them over the phone, i've been wanting an opportunity to do the same. This morning, I HAD that opportunity..... :)

callcentre: Hello? May I speak to Mr Oh?
me: Sorry, he's not home at the moment, may i take a msg?
callcentre: Oh, no, i cant leave a msg, whom am i speaking to? Is that Mr Oh?
me: No, he's not in. can i take a msg?
callcentre: who am i speaking to?
me: who am I speaking to?
callcentre: I'm Angel, and you are......?
me: what can i do for you?
callcentre: If wont tell me who you are, i'll have to end this conversation...
me: fine. (end of conversation)

Who do they think they are!? They dont DEMAND i identify myself.... They called ME, i dont know who the heck they are, why should i identify MYself? I'll bloody well tell them my name if I FEEL like it, not coz i HAVE to. At least I'm a little satisfied now. :)
