Gorilla Salad posted:Yeah, I noticed the rear spotter seemed more concerned with getting some nice footage from the inside lane than actually getting in the lane behind the truck and doing his goddamn job. I think the rear spotter is in the inside lane to block some jackass from passing the truck in a tight turn or bridge.

I wouldn't blame the sales rep too much, a lot of phone banks have really lovely cancellation policies. A lot of places listen to any call where a cancellation is made and if the sales rep didn't use enough buzzwords to try and keep the customer they can get fired. Some places only allow you a set amount of cancellations before you get fired, I can't fault him for trying to keep his job in this economy. This can work out in your favor though. You can randomly call up your cable/internet provider and ask to cancel, a lot of the sales reps will jump through hoops to keep you, AT&T especially. I got HBO and Showtime free for 6 months for calling to cancel.

I've worked in those retention queues. I was horrible at it because I am in possession of a human heart. The sad thing here is that the rep in question is actually REALLY good at his job, I bet he gets straight 5 out of 5s on his report cards and is on the management track, because he can browbeat your mom into not-cancelling every single time he gets them. Race to the bottom... only the numbers matter, and a sociopath can go VERY far in that environment.

I haven't listened to it yet, but in January I had a Time Warner rep try and get me to not cancel through a really sappy voicemail where he pretty much seemed like I was breaking up with him. Left his personal cell and everything. Couldn't exactly renew anyways, considering I was moving out back to my dad's place

Possibly some of those people are dead or paralyzed from the neck down. Bear trap guy got away with a broken arm and severe lacerations at most though. Which is kinda sad since it's probably the dumbest, the only other possible outcome of that was "bear trap is faulty and does not trigger; nothing happens".

I can't tell if that's a toothed trap. If so they're pretty much banned in every state for being inhumane.

Here's a video of the bear trap guy. There's no blood or anything so it's not that bad but there's literally a room fuul of people screaming at him and begging him not to do it for several minutes before he does it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpAvycIQwnY It's a stunt for a radio show or something. Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rover%27s_Morning_Glory#Dare_Dieter quote:Dieter began work on the show as a phone-screener. When a full-time on-air position became available, he volunteered to start a segment called Dare Dieter, in which he would do any stunt or dare submitted by listeners every Friday. Dieter said if he ever turned down a dare he would go back to phone-screening, a promise that was often held over his head during the segment by listeners. The feature was ended by Rover and CBS Radio management after Dieter suffered a serious injury and temporary paralysis during a stunt involving a barrel roll on July 13, 2007 Snowglobe of Doom has a new favorite as of 06:18 on Jul 16, 2014 |

This is one of the few genuine fatalities in the thread.  Extremely dumb, but sad – kid died doing a dumb stunt off the side of a train while on the way to buy stuff for his sister's wedding. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/mumbai-performing-stunt-on-train-kills-14yearboy/414201-3-237.html
