an orgy of professional incompetence

1.) Today I've gone to the dentist to get a cavity filled,
now I can't close my mouth fully as there is a large chunk
of material in the way. (bit of history: this dentist has,
in the past, cracked my jaw by forcing my jaw open
awkwardly, which took me a full year and a half to recover
from)

2.) Just moments ago a crane arm flung itself into our
house, or should I say, an incompetent louse just flung a
crane arm into our house, ripping the north corner off as
well as a large section of electrical equipment--I don't
know how my computer is running, it must have been the phone
line. I think they were originally trying to do something
with our septic tank...

3.) My anus is not bleeding anymore, but with no thanks to
doctors.

Maybe there was a burglar on the side of your house and the
crane operator was swatting it for you

Hang on hang on hang on... aren't from the Land of Suing
People, can't you take him to court and live off of the
damages for the rest of your life? Can't you sue your doctor
for being shit as well?

I probably could, but winning lawsuits is a fine art that
I'm not experienced with. And I think you have to have a
lot of money in the first place...

Anyway, my dentist is a good photographer and I'm sure he's
miserable besides

Your anus is the only competent professional in your sorry
tale. It's gone and fixed itself.

I wouldn't continue seeing a dentist who's less skilled in
his field than my anus is in its respective field.

No seriously, propose it to a lawyer, and he will do it, if
he's certain that you will win the lawsuit. Thats his way of
making money also. Get your parents to help.

I can't believe the shit (sorry) you've gone through.

-bad teeth run in the (dad's side of the) family.

-My parents will never sue anyone, no matter how many
injustices they suffer; and they won't help me sue anyone
either, I'm quite sure.

-the crane came to us

the correct joke was to correlate crane and anus.

You just contact the right kind of lawyer. They are working
for the money too since they usually take a cut, don't they?
Never done this.

Incompetence, after dishonesty, is one of my biggest hates.

Companies tolerate it because accounts rule the roost and
they seem unable to comprehend that pissing off your clients
by hiring incompetents isn't worth saving a couple of grand
a year.

I do my job exceedingly well (just had an email from the
head of my division mentioning that a client had emailed
them, praising me). I recognise not everyone can be 'very
good' at their job (if they were, we wouldn't have a
yardstick to measure it by). What I cannot understand
though, is why western society seems to of developed laws
that prevent you from sacking people for consistent
incompetence and that the notion of doing so is culturally
unacceptable.

One week earlier this year I counted the number of fuck-ups
I encountered dealing with different companies. It was 12,
out of a possible 14 exchanges. Perhaps most infuriating are
the ones where the process of resolving the initial fuck up
turns into a long drawn out process (containing other
fuckups) itself. It'd be funny if it wasn't real life.

I've gotten to the stage where I don't really care how cheap
a company is, if they fuck up with any sort of regularity, I
won't use them. I even won't use companies that are
partnered with fuckwits that may impact on me, for reasons
beyond the original company's direct control. For example,
I'll pay £20-30 more to buy electrical goods from a company
which doesn't use City Link as their courier, just because
City Link (AKA 'Shitty Stink') are spectuacularly bad and
the aggro that comes with receiving an order from them isn't
worth the saving.

Incidentally, I need to make a dental appointment, ta for
reminding me. Sorry to hear about your spectacular run of
bad luck.

i guess it's the bad side (what's the expression) of the
employee's rights and stuff. i guess you're right anyway
though
