Some company abuse.
Why I think that news anchors should be chosen on the basis of qualifications, and not looks:
“Researchers believe that using stem cells, specific tissues can be grown in peach-tree dishes.” (CNN)
Why I like FedEx better than UPS:
UPS: “HellathankyasirfircallenUPeeeS” (girl with ridiculously rapid southern accent)
Me: “I have a package coming next-day that your tracking system shows to have arrived at the warehouse. I was wondering if I could arrange to have them hold it before it goes out on the truck.”
UPS: “hinckeltimejabberwockyquickchinook beep beep, I’msarrysir.”
Me: “Um, I’m having a little trouble understanding you, but it sounds like you just said that the package is still in transit to my local area?”
UPS: “luckamankyhankypanky, I’msarrysir.”
Me: “Okay, I think that was a yes, but the package clearly shows as being at the local center already, I just want to have them hold onto it rather than send it out this afternoon for delivery.”
UPS: “mosesjokesandmareseydotes, I’msarrysir.”
Me: “Okay, whatever. Thanks anyway.”
UPS: “ThankyasirfercallinUPeeeS’n’UPeeeSacomhavagudday.” (click)
