People are weird.  And some people just love to complain.  Thanks to the explosion of social media & brands using the likes of Facebook to try and make a sale, the axe grinding has never been more public.  And it can get strange.

    Poor Aunt Joan. Once she finds out that Rachelle is “daddy’s little girl” in a whole different way, she’s going to be crushed. Thankfully, she’s not too intarwabz savvy, so she’ll never find the website.

    Am I the only one who finds the first guy hilarious? I’m pretty sure he’s just trolling…

    “I find the men’s pants way too tight, not an interesting sight!” followed by the 8==>, made my morning. Thanks, Joe.

    I have three possible theories about the elbow ripping guy:

    1. He has amazing guns that a mere dress shirt cannot contain
    2. He has huge Pilsbury dough boy arms 
    3. He rubs his elbows in broken glass and competes in underground kickboxing tournaments after work

     If you work at a desk for 16 hours a day it happens way more often than you can imagine. Shirts seem to have a 6 month life.

    “underground kickboxing”! Classic!!!!

    Yep. Long hours at a desk ran through my first batch of BB in 6mo. Since then I have had to buy more shirts to rotate them through to put less wear on them.

    Ah, I see what you did there.

    Slim pickins for this installment…

    Most of the complaints are probably valid.  Trying to deal with customer service in India or an in-store employee who doesn’t give a crap and is just there for a paycheck can understandably get some people worked up.  If the companies had better front-line employees the complaints would never get to this point.

    There are obviously people who are not happy unless they are not happy or just “batshit”, but many of these seem like they’re from normal folks who just want to deal with a competent person at a place where they’re spending their money.

    All my shirts end up ripping at the elbows after they get too old. I think its from rolling them just below the elbow and having bony elbows. It’s real!

    “Got a bottle smashed over my head in Bangkok”. 

    If only I would be so lucky as to be able to tell my future grandchildren that story one day.

    Joe, are you adding the new glyphics to the dappered.com comments section soon?  Like is so 2011.  I’m sure I would have earned a few.  🙂

    I’m pretty sure it is from the Hangover 2.  I think I remember something about one of them complaining about his Brooks Brothers shirt getting ruined.

  17. TheBarNone says

    February 22, 2012 at 5:21 PM

    And yes, I watched the Hangover 2.

    Having spent a few months waiting on tables between jobs, it is amazing how dickish people can be AND the littlest things that will set someone off.  It is ridiculous.

    Still perturbed. Unbelievable.

    I’ve never had the elbow problem, but then again I usually end up rolling my sleeves up to  the elbows within the first hour or two of work anyway…

  23. Joe says

    February 23, 2012 at 8:41 PM

     Ha!  Excellent.  I… yeah, didn’t see it.  Didn’t hear good things.  Heard they should have stopped at #1 and just let the genius be.
