my small tale of woe
while browsing my bank account prier to the tax season,i spotted a small direct debit to optus and a referance number.so onto the phone now we not talikng millions $17.95 per month the first rep asked me for my account number to witch i told her that i don't have an account thats why i calling and after a long pause she aske me for the account number.
so i asked to be passed to a person higher,now the first thing out of this fools mouth is whats you account number,islowly explained that i dont have an account and tats why i'm calling to find out why i'm being charged for an account that i dont have,he said give me your account details and he would chase it up.i politely asked for a person higher up and as asked had he upset me ,i said no idiots get my sympathy now on to number 3 rep and she lasted 1 minet before i refused to talk to her and wanted to speek to a higher person ,him i told why i asked for him because i didnt want to argue with a idiot just incase her ws doing the same.
now this chap ued the referance number and told me it was an account for dial up ,i told him that i have never asked for nor required dial up,a now he said that they could only pay the last 9 months so i asked how far back it goes and was told 3 years ,now i'm getting stresed so i sak why i cant get the whole ammount.and was told that is how it worke .and i asked to be passed to a person who could give me better answers.he wanted to know why i wanted to do this and i said it was developin into the same situation that the last rep had gone s.
so onward and upto number 6 who mearly said he would get some people from accounts to talk to me ,i asked if they carried violin cases and got a huh
well now we have gone to our corners and waiting for round 2 h me luck😂

You won't just get the whole amount back... you'll be compensated too.

Greedy, you realy must proof read what you have writen before you post, but unfortunatly thats the standard you get from people on those lines, one in a hundred can make sense out of what you tell them. I had a bloke the other day wanting to sell me their service designing web sites, took him about 5 min. to click that I was describing what I wanted, strung between two branches of a tree and over to the eaves of my house, Slooooow.

Thanks thugbug, after posting I thought it might be taken the wrong way so greedy I hope I didn't offend you, I also have a fairly basic education (check my speln 👎) but reckon I have a few years on you to have moved along a bit, I certainly didn't mean to offend so if I did I realy do appologise. Proof reading is a must though I reckon. 😘

I use Firefox as my web browser and it spell checks as I type. When it sees a word that it thinks is suss it underlines it in red. At the end of typing I right click on each word that's underlined and it gives me a list suggestions to fix the word or I can add it as a new word to my personal dictionary.

Fire fox also can have an Australian English dictionary added on to it.

Regards,

Matt.
