on stupid customer service people…

I tried to order a shoulder brace since I’ve been screwing my shoulder up pretty badly wrestling. I just got the following mail from the company I ordered the brace from:

I have been informed that the shoulder support that you ordered, is being
redesigned at the moment, and will not be available for a couple of months.

Please find a link below to the Neck Collar, which is what the manufacturer
has suggested in its place.
Please let me know what you would like to do, so I can either ship out the
product to you, or refund your money.

Uh… but I have a bad shoulder, not a bad neck. Exactly how is having better neck support going to help that? Also, the link doesn’t even work.

    They’re not claiming it will help. Their manufacturer just wants to sell you something, and they figure maybe you have neck problems too.

      Re: Customer Service Crack Day

      well to be fair, when I wrote back and said “umm, no, just send me my money back” they did get back to me with a “no problem, sir. We’ll do that right away.” So it looks like is having a worse day than I am.

      Of course, I haven’t actually gotten the money back yet. And I still don’t have a shoulder brace, so who knows how its really gonna go.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention… you stole Blue Meanie’s theme song dammit!

      yeah, I learned that the Meanie used to use that after the fact. I actually used it because the song I was originally going to use was the same that Vega$ had chosen to use that day. Blah.
