You've probably seen the news about the lady 'attacked' by a jaguar at AZ zoo...

This interview with the jaguar is hilarious...

I read this to my cat. She laughed and said, some cats are better off caged. :grinyes:

Why don't people understand how data collection works?
The amount of people tonight I had ask/tell me "I'm on a no call list! How did you get my number?" was spastic. I'd say every third or fourth call I got asked.

For those wondering, the company I work for gets the numbers I call from another company... Who buy them from facebook, department stores, utility companies and so on.
If people bothered to read the privacy statements of such companies they'd notice that a lot of companies have a thingy in their privacy statement saying something like they "may share your details with their partners and associates"


Unfortunately I'm not allowed to yell people that, instead I have to politely give them the details of the company we get our numbers from and tell them to contact them.. :wall:



I liked my last job more :(

There's a special place in hell for the cars extended warranty people.
I used to get calls from them at least a few times a week but then I started answering them and telling them that I don't own a car which confused the heck out of them. I haven't got a call from them for a few months now, knock on wood.

I also got calls from the 'switch electric company promos' people and told them I don't have electricity at my home so I don't need their services! I either tell them I use propane or I have a water wheel generator that supplies my electricity so I'm not on the grid.
