PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Free advice" |
Share some advice from your line of work or area of expertise that you think folks should know. There's probably something that you know that the rest of us don't. Here's mine: If you send an email asking whether you're signed up for an event, please include your name in the email. Or your account number. Or your pawprint. Something more than, "Hi, am I registered?" Here's a bonus:
If you send me an email asking if you can have a refund for a non-refundable purchase, it's probably better not to attach the receipt that says in bold block letters "NO REFUNDS." P.S. to the bonus:
You can tell me a sob story. If it's really, really good it'll go into my Sob Story Hall of Fame. But you won't get a refund. A Mmmmmmmoonie plate special!

When you call your attorney, please be advised, you are NOT their only client. Your crisis does not = My crisis. I know, hard to comprehend. Do not start in on your sob story before finding out who answered the phone. Giving me attitude will not increase your chances of getting a call back. Do not assume the lobby is a daycare.

LAST EDITED ON 01-20-11 AT 02:26 PM (EST)I like this one: Do not start in on your sob story before finding out who answered the phone. One of my clients is an attorney and a while back we moved into a different part of the building so he could rent out some space. My old office was pretty far removed from the entrance but my new office is the first one you see when you come up the stairs. A lot of clients peek into my office when I'm there but they usually notice the reception desk and waiting area right away. One day, the paralegal wasn't at the reception desk and a client came up the stairs, walked right into my office and just launched into a long diatribe about her legal troubles. I finally managed to interrupt the woman and tell her that I'm just the bookkeeper and that she should wait in the reception area while I found the paralegal. When I found the paralegal, she mentioned that this woman has been to the office several times and knew where the waiting area was. She just liked to talk with anyone she could find in our office - even our tenants who have nothing to do with the law firm - to talk about her legal problems. Chocolately deliciousness by agman

Survey monkey was created, in part, so people could input their answers quickly on line, to reduce paper and costs and to get instantaneous results. Sending out a paper copy to 2500 club members and then hiring a person to input the 1300 responses by hand kind of defeats the purpose.

Never co-sign for anyone. Or at least know that you have no rights. I co-signed on a car for the son of a friend of mine. He hasn't made one payment and I don't have the right to take the car from him. I'm thinking of going on Judge Judy.

When your child comes home with some story about what happened in my class today, you might want to get my side of the story before you come storming in with your dander up. There's a chance that your child's version might be a wee bit biased. Better yet, bring the kid along and have them retell it in front of me--let's see if it changes any.Do not do your little darlings' homework for them. Do not write notes making excuses for their laziness. The school calendar was announced long before you planned your trip to Disneyworld. This is not an excused absence. You can take your child out of school if you want to, but don't expect me to make any allowances. Not only are you not helping them, you are teaching them bad habits that will be hard, if not impossible, to unlearn. I'm not paid enough.

If you're going to go home and tell your parents some story about what happened in school today, make sure that when your parent verifies the story, it matches. And for specific 7-year old first graders: If you are bad in school, your mother will be disappointed. If you are bad and then lie to cover it up, your mother will be pissed. If you cover up and hide the note from the teacher, please note that your mother can still get a copy from your teacher. Vacations are not excused absences. Neither is taking your wife/child out to dinner/lunch for their birthday. Samboobree, brought to life by Arkie

My company does not issue blank checks. If you think we should provide some equipment for your company, get a quote as if your company will be paying the tab. Yes, we are a large organization with many resources, but keep in mind that you don't like overpaying for things, and we don't either.After taking an additional year to negotiate a contract with us, do not ask for pricing relief six months after the contract is implemented. Also, do not blame us for a compressed startup schedule when the project timeline was delayed solely because of contract negotiations. If you argue with us about every last cent on every purchase order, don't expect any goodwill when you have a screw-up that isn't our fault. Instead of pushing back on every request we make, try cooperating some of the time. You'd be amazed at how much better things work when a business relationship is a partnership instead of adversarial.

If you are paying for dental insurance, at least use it to get your teeth cleaned as often as it allows. Because if you don't, not only are you paying for something you're not using but one of these days you're going to wish you had used it.
