What am I going to read during lunch now???
Thank you Freddy and Ilia for all you have done. It has been great!
You should consider doing what Scott Adams did with his blog: he took some of the good stories off it and put them in a book. Selling a book could help you recoup some of the expenses of running the web site.

The Entitlement Complex: I Fell For A Scam And Nobody Warned Me Ahead Of Time!
I'm trying to be sympathetic here, but there are two very important questions this twit needs to answer: 1) Why would the IRS tell you to pay off your student loans using iTunes gift cards? 2) Why the fuck is it Best Buy's job to tell you that you're being a fucking idiot? --Entitlement is...

Bad Customer Service: Hanging Up Before The Request Can Be Made
From Caitlink98, TalesFromTheCustomer So, everyday for the past week, I've been getting calls from some company claiming to lower my credit card debt. I have no credit card debt, so I follow the instructions to speak with a representative so I can request the do not call list. Every single ti...

Customer Service Comebacks: You're Clearly Going To Dollar General For More Than Just Soda, Dude

Aren't these forums moderated any more? This is not a real story; it's a political rant masquerading as a post.
Besides, why would the moderators condone a racist post knowingly?
Mistaken Identity: Craft Store Education
From sadlilpotato, I Don't work Here Lady: I was at a craft store trying to look for seashells with my friends and because it's not summer, they're a little hard to find. (I walked around the store 3 times trying to look for them.) Suddenly, this little boy comes up to me and asks where the ...
