Funniest post on ASF this year

Jump to new
There was a thread started by Julia about stupid things we had all done. Maybe about 3 months ago - Julia's example was when she returned an item to an electrical store because the plug didnt fit, then realised she hadnt taken off the protective layer.

Then there was the lost sunglasses on your head etc etc....

(Sorry Jules but that was really funny - looks like you are in the running for two nominations....)
 
That's OK, Prospector. I'm the first to acknowledge my own ineptitude.
If it provides some amusement for the rest of you, then I'll accept it with grace. (Well, I'll try.)

I can actually add to embarrassing list of dumb things I have done with the following:
Last week I was constantly being disconnected. Much talk and little remedy from my ISP. Reluctance on their part to call Telstra to establish if the problem was a line fault. As the days wore on, with me getting dropped out every few minutes, and having done all their "troubleshooting" of getting modum checked, etc, etc. I'd finally had enough. Thinking by now I knew their 1300 phone number off by heart, I dialled and automatically entered my details with the prompts, consumed by anger and frustration. Eventually a person came on the line. I was too full of myself to even listen to what he said, and began a rant to end all rants, demanding some ***** action from Telstra immediately or I'd close my account.

There was a short pause on the other end, then the person very quietly and politely said: "I think perhaps there's been a mistake. This is E-trade".

Did I feel foolish? Absolutely. Apologised profusely and explained what had happened. Sympathy from the E-trade operator who earned some brownie points for diplomatic management of a dopey customer.

Lesson: giving in to anger impairs one's judgment.

Just read the post by insider (post # 53 on the gf going abroad thread).
Very very funny. A natural with the chicks. I'm still chuckling. (That post was in jest, right? )

That's right Fathers lock up your daughters because Insider's in town

I go into too much detail sometimes... I should leave you all wondering, "How did that guy get a girl like that, she can do so much better than him... He must be rich!"
 

You probably have more chance of getting Etrade to fix the internet than Telstra!
 
Pretty much anything posted by StockybailX... I maintain that guy had to be a wind-up... But then again the democratisation of the stockmarket has resulted in all sorts "playing the market"...

I didn't realize I was supposed to pick a winner.

I thought this was more of a 'Best of ASF's funny moments 2006' kinda thread.

I think they should all win!
 


Funniest thing is, it is now up 230-250% up since I bought in 5 months ago and hardly anyone took any notice of me cause they thought I was a drongo.....and I recon it's got a long way to go yet....lololol all the way to the bank.

I may talk like a drongo but I hardly ever miss a beat.....nwr and nms are the other two majors small caps on my radar ATM....
