Throw a brick at your local "Brick" store

"The Brick" is one of the largest furniture and appliance store in Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brick). Like any other big canadian chain, Brick has the worst customer service i have had the displeasure of encountering.

I purchased a computer desk and chair from them for $598.86 dollars, fully paid, on the 14th of Jun 2009. I was told the items will be ready for pick up on the 14th of Jul. After 3 months and 5 calls later, i m told it will be here very shortly.

I just called and cancelled my order. I wish i was allowed to give a finger through the phone. I was very polite with the lady from the customer service and asked her to cancel my order (a got some one to call me back after calling twice to get a hold of a person who would confirm my order). She wasnt concerned why my order was delayed and simply cancelled my order.

I guess the Brick is not interested in my business. If you are Canadian, have money and are in the market for furniture, Brick doesnt want you. Actually, i prefer gonorrhea over The Brick.

I really do. Please let them know how you feel about them: 1.877.843.2742. If you are a more proactive person and prefer face to face contact, take a brick and wrap it in your comments and throw it at a Brick store. Here are the locatons: http://www1.thebrick.com/brickb2c/jsp/storelocator/storeLocatorHome.jsp

Knowing them they still would'nt bother doing anything. They are too busy being a-holes. Good luck.

Remember to choose an STI over buying merchandise from "The Brick".

Got milk?

I m sick of the 'Drink Milk' commericals at the theatres. If i wanted to get a seizure before getting entertained, I would throw empty cans at cop cars. No seriously, who came up with the ad campaign. It is absolutely pointless. I hate it.

The commercials feature an exaggerated benefit of milk using a 'humorous' situation, for example, one shows a teenager drinking milk, explosively increasing in height and growing out of his clothes like the hulk. The segment following the former hilarity always shows a cow yelling at you to drink milk. The whole thing lasts less than 4 seconds. And they always show 5-6 of these back to back. Its all animated and i wish a severe beating on every one involved in this brain washing attempt.

Right now, for the theatre in the GTA area, these commericals are being shown before the previews. I wanna slap some one with a knife every time they start the rapid fire propaganda from the special interest groups. This particular campaign is sponsered by the dairy farmers of Canada.

As a protest i have stopped drinking milk and started to buy leather. Furthmore, since last week i have only been eating calf liver ... for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I hate cows especially cows that ruin movie previews for me.

Fido - Bad dog!

Fido Solutions, formerly known as Microcell Telecommunications was acquired by the biggest hustler in Canada, Rogers Communications, in 2004. Rogers has since tagged team with its dog to pillage and hustle the already over-taxed Canadian population and established itself like an empire.

If "Fido Solutions" was a person i would have tracked him/her down and punched him/her in the face by now. I feel for Fido what a victim feels for their periodic rapist which also hustles money from their bank account every 15th of the month.

There is nothing right about Fido. The service is very limited (i can only dial local), It is very expensive ($150/mo for 250 mins + data plan) and the customer service is absolutely disgusting. I called them once to complain that i had never seen my invoice cause my profile was erroring on their website. I needed to know the breakdown of my bill. They didn't have the info and nor where they prepared to mail an invoice to my home address for free. Why would i pay to find out how much i need to pay them. Such antics in the civilized south would get you banned with the American Better Business Bureau. I m tired of Fido... i really am completely done.

My 3 year contract expires in September. I m going to states and getting the unlimited Canada/USA plan from Verizon for $160/mo. I urge every one to switch away from the evil empire: Rogers Communications and all its subsidiaries .

I will write about how much i loath Rogers Cable and Home phone and "high speed" Internet at a later date.

Just leave it!

Enough already... yes he was the king of pop, yes it was unexpected and yes Paris said tear jerker things. But... I wanna see something else on TV besides shiny gloves and news reporters claiming how much he will be missed. People need to calm the fuck down. Let him go gracefully. The dude was falling apart both mentally and physically. Every time he made an appearance on the tube, we all increasingly felt that his body parts were just gonna fall off. His nose was coming off, eye balls were just getting loose and that chin was all over the place.

Don't get me wrong. I loved and respected the guy. Molester or not, the Mofo could moonwalk like there was no tomorrow. We all wanted to be like him at some point. We all have grabbed our crotch and done some serious MJ thrusts in front of the mirror when no one was looking.

Don't bullshit me ... yes you have so stop shaking your head in denial.

Anyways, so give it a rest and lets come back to him on his first anniversary. Deal?

Canadian Banks - Fuck you TD Canada

There is a fee for everything. There are limited number of free transactions and there has to be a minimum amount balance. TD Canada Trust is the worst of them all. The bastards are taking your money and charging you to keep it in checking/savings. I googled TD Canada Trust and the acronym "TD" actually stands for "Total Dickheads", which is an accurate description for this company.

I dont understand these canadian institutions. No seriously, what m i going to do with the fact that you stay open till 8 pm when i have no money left in the bank considering the fact that you have taken bloody all of it in numerous fees.

That's it i m keeping all of my money in a pillow case from now on or under my mattress and i m getting a dobberman to protect it. I hope Canadian banks collapse too.... bring em all down... the bastards.

The worst chain/store in universe: Canadian Tire

We all have things to do, people to see and bagels to eat so lets keep this a small post. I just want to quickly convey to you, the degree to which i absolutely loathe Canadian Tire. There are many levels of hate, for me and millions of other Canadians, Canadian Tire is at the absolute pinnacle of it. And no, fuck you, "Hate" is not a strong word. Actually, the English language fails me as a communication tool, when i try to convey the ill i feel for Canadian Tire. It is an institute of ass-rape and a dean of douchbaggery. If there was a Noble award for atrocities against mankind just short of genocide, Canadian Tire's non-existent customer service department would have been littered with medals. At this point, you are probably thinking that i m making exaggerated claims without backing my shit up. Well, lets review why every Canadian Tire location is more of a portal to hell than a store.


1. Customer Service
Being a customer at Canadian Tire is experiencing the highest level of hell. I now understand Dante's Inferno. Those levels of hell represent different Aisles at Canadian Tire. Actually, the term "Canadian Tire Customer Service" is a misnomer because i have yet to meet a person who has encountered a staff member at any of the Canadian tire stores. They are all completely deserted. The ass holes only look at you from the cameras up top and no one comes to help you choose the drain pipe of correct radius for your sink. This ain't a Casino bitch, stop it with the 360 degrees security cameras no one wants to steal your shitty merchandise.

Also, is there a Canadian law that requires every Canadian tire to have an immigrant 'Indian uncle' right at the entrance trying his best to sell you the "kanay deean tire kray dit kared". No i don't wanna sell my soul to the devil, thank you very much.


2. Canadian Tire Auto Center
Let me be completely factual with you on this one. I have been to the auto center at Canadian Tire four times... yes i had temporarily lost my cerebral functions. All four times they tried to gang rape me and i was charged for their attempted rape and extortion. Not only was i over charged but i was told to buy shit that i didn't particularly need. In the interest of time, i would just share with you, my first Canadian Tire experience of how i lost my innocence. I went to Canadian Tire for the first time 2 years ago, i went to get day light runners installed on my American car to make it road legal in Canada. They told me i needed to get new set of tires or they wouldn't pass my car. I had no other choice but to bend over and spread my legs. Not only did they did a shitty job with the alignment of tires, the day light runners didn't work either. So i had to go back for a second visit. Also, they had the nerve to tell me that i needed an oil change when i had gotten one done earlier that week. Now i know how it would feel, if one were to be forced in to giving a prostate exam without lube and then told at end of the exam that the real doctor would be seeing you shortly.

3. Canadian Tire Money

I m very well travelled. I have shopped at many different stores in many different countries. In my travels, i have yet to come across a store that issues its own currency. For the non-Canadians it would seem like a weird concept that a store actually has its own paper based currency. That is the messed up thing in Canada: Big corporations like Canadian Tire feel that they are only marginally less omniscient than God. Canadian Tire has its own shit faced currency. WTF?!
Does any body even use that money.It sits in your wallet or in your car rotting away and every time you come across the crumbled up money you resent Canadian Tire. I am sick of Canadian Tire's lack of respect for its customers. Any image, sound or smell , even remotely linked with this "shitore" makes every single cell in my body wish destruction for every single Canadian tire establishment. GOD i f&%*ing hate Canadian Tire! If you HATE Canadian Tire as much as myself, i urge you not to shop at this disgusting 'Shitore'. They need to publicly apologize to all its customers, make a commitment to improve their customer service and stop ripping people off.

Loonies and Toonies

Canadians are insecure. I would know this because i happen to be one. We are so insecure that every product, every service and establishment has to have a flashing red maple leaf plastered on it. We have a constant need to be continuously reminded that we are north of the civilized world. Its as if the thermometer isn't enough to remind us that we are in bloody Canada. We have this idiotic sense of patriotism because we suffer from an identity crisis. Canadians want be grand like New York but at the same time be known as Toronto. We want to be à la mode like Paris and be French Canadian at the same time. We are more confused and hated than the ugly duckling.

The reason why i m writing this is to bring to your attention what pisses me most about this country: our currency. The only reason why we cant adopt the more practical paper based dollar bill, like they do it in the civilized south, is that we wanna be euro trash. Our government still performs analingus to her majesty the F&@#$ING QUEEN of Britain!. I don't mean to raise my voice but it really pisses me off. Every time i hear the toonies and loonies jingle in my pocket i want to choke somebody. I see my income disappear every time i buy a Tim Hortons coffee.

Stop it with the coins already and lets print some one dollar bills please. I have had it! Starting from today, every time some one takes my money and gives a wheelbarrow full of change, i m clubbing a baby seal to death.
