movie cinemas pricing themselves out of business since ages ago

Yeah fuck those guys.

Especially considering how little it costs to produce both the Diet Coke and the popcorn.

Yeap grrr...just watched The Time ...holy shIt it sucked...I liked thre concept but man what a let down.... can anyone recommend anything worth seeing...I might watch another movie waiting for my cambelt to be changed is not fun.

I want to watch Contagion... but have already been to the movies once this year, which is more than enough

I can sleep at home

What about The Inbetweeners? I dont wanna watch another dark shooty movie

Heh.. my average for going to the movies is like once every 2 years.

Can't smoke / drink at the movies, and my home theater was just fine.

Oh of course you can drink in Goldclass.. but its $$$

Your faces are totes ridic imo! :>

Goldclass is awesome....Hoyts is pretty ok though nicer than Event cinemas........I only rarely go to the movies these days and its usually for kids movies...so this is quite cool but spensy.......but better than going shopping and buying clothes I dont need...

Home theatre for the win for sure plus the luxury of hitting pause for piss breaks due to being severely boozed

I have a vhs machine, a potty and a chair

#livingthedream

We also have a VHS machine at my flat!

My how I lauged merrily when my flatmate pointed it out to me.

I think i still have a LASER DISC player somewhere

Ok what is a laser disc player...Im watcging The Inbetweeners better than trying to walk around with creepy guys leering...ffs.

they predated DVD - big discs the size of an LP (thats a 12" record for the young - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LP_record)

laser discs seemed like the future... so we all brought em like crazy people... only to have to buy the same bloody movies again on DVD, then blueray (what suckers we are)

Pffft who bought a Laser Disk player I mean really...

everyone I know had one*



*this may in fact be entirely incorrect

Now you're just being totes ridic...

Nek minit...

Sounds sexy...





...laser disc...

Great. pick up my car from the mechanic he has crashed it in the front fuked the bumper and only accepts he did it after i start crying. he will csll me tomorrow yeah fuking right. being a chick can really fucking suck...

He's repairing that shit right ?

Fairgo that motherfucker !

He said hell call me tomorrow to sort something.. it is fucked up if he doesnt call its like well wtf am I sposed to do.

Call Fair Go or Tweet John Campbell or something

Or Target or The Commerce Commission because fuck that shit.

Next time hit me up, I know a good trustworthy mechanic.

Yeah i just went to him coz he had a dailydo voucher for cambelt...now im dubious he even did that right...omfg he said i should phone my parents when i got upset umm im not 12 i just love my car and didnt expect it to be fuked up...if he doesnt fix it then i will get unclassy.

QT seriously you need to report this guy to the CC or the media... otherwise other people could find themselves in your situation

Is it just me or are NZers fkn terrible at complaining to businesses, but fkn awesome at telling other people to complain? :>

If he doesnt call me tomorrow like he said he would then I will...he always has vouchers on yazoom and living social apparantly

I complain about shit service, but then I usually research retailers before purchasing anything :p

One thing that I just though of is he does custom stuff to cars and apparantly my FTO was too low to get into his garage and they had to lift it ...sounds so weird if they customise cars my standard FTO shouldnt be a issue ......man the more I think about it the more I just never want to see him again and get my mate who is a panelbeater to sort it for me. I think NZs dont complain as were laid back and dont want confrontations..and it does feel to me that Im fucked really...he might decide tomorrow he gives no fuck nothing I can do that doesnt involve time and money.

Ok he just texted me where to take the car to get it fixed....guess my trust in mechanics isnt completely destroyed...just. Though if I didnt get so upset and just got angry it mightve gone another way. Just found a couple of reviews of the mechanic that are horrendous..guess I should have done my homework a bit better, lesson SO TOTES learnt.

haha QT, yep, I'm always pretty careful especially with mechanics !

If you want the name of a good one I use Riverbank Motors in New Lynn. It's a family business run by some indian guys, cannot stress how good and cheap they are. Job is always done when they say it will, comes in on or under the price quoted, if for any reason they find some other issue they call you and get quotes for secondhand as well as first hand parts !

Not only that they have vehicle checked the last few cars I have bought and I never had issues, in fact he sold me my current car !

Awesome shit thanks for that..I will definitely go see them in Jan for my service....hope they wont dick me around cos im a chick with a showy sports car....

As weird as it sounds they are honest mechanics. They have a reputation for that, we got put onto them by a family friend and have been using them for 10-15 years now. The son has just taken over from the dad and he's just as awesome and has the same honest values

just want to say .. good job brother.... Thanks for sharing it.


ED: [what a fucktard I am]

lol

He said he'll pay the excess today.. and then texted and said "I owe him dinner lol"

wtf seriously am I just a magnet for fucktards.

apparantly YES

you owe him dinner because he's paying the excess on a car he damaged ?

WINNAR !

I just wanna say that the back of your head is ridiculous!

Yeah that's fucked. He should be paying for the whole fucking thing, not involving insurance at all.

In saying that, make a claim and steer the fuck clear is probably the best course of action.

buy him a happy meal... but keep the toy for your little one (I mean yourself)

Yeah I am just like what a clusterfuck. and what a fucking douche. I still have to pay for my rental car though so I'm still pissed off not gonna bother asking him for that money .. it's just $25 a day..

I am so all over that mechanic in New Lynn.. will even tell my family about it we have seriously struggled to find a deece honest mechanic out West.. so many cowboys cheers so much for that recom

Post removed due to some shiznit !

What post lol? what's with the online calculator thing ?? such random spam .. but kinda funny

I complain like a motherfucker when co's try and rip me off!. I resort to my best pirate language too, and threaten to withhold money, or pay them in monopoly money. They usually respond pretty quickly.

QT, that dude sounds like a real fucktard, he wants dinner?, go and chuck a cold pie at his face, and take a pitbull with you and tell him the dogs there to eat the pie off his face.....what a farking dick!

Should I name and shame the company?

Might after I get confirmation the excess payment has gone thru just in case he's a biggie user or something.. you never know

Yeah get everything sorted first imo.

That mechanic sounds dodgy as... particulary the excuse about the ride height.

He didn’t pay it ... FUCKKKK!! Took my car into AA Insurance and they said the excess hasn’t been paid.. but took the car and they are getting it repaired for me.. though looking like I’ll be paying the $400 excess on it as dickhead isn’t texting me back about it. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF..

I really need to do something about it… people shouldn’t be able to get away with shit like this

small claims could be your only real option... or disputes tribunal as its now called - but only if he disputes having to pay - enforcing/recovering a debt they do not do

http://www.howtolaw.co.nz/html/ml086.asp

oh well he just said he paid it in the weekend.. so ... either he's mucking me around / lying or ... did it later than he said he woudl.

seriously.

omfg.

never.

again.

possibly a bank transfer that wouldn't have gone through until today?

*shakes fist* on QT's behalf

yay ... though at least I get to drive a suzuki swfit the car I originally wanted.. and it sux balls.. slow and old ladyish.. lol oh wellage.

Yeah the 1.2-1.5 auto ones do suck balls. You need at least a manual and preferably the 1.6 Sport to really see how good they can be.

Ha ha.. I had one of those Suzukis on loan from AA a few weeks back too while having some repairs done. Much fun to be had trying to get those lawnmowers up to speed.

However the 1.6 Sports bounce off the rev limiter so so so happily, especially after dropping the clutch from the redline <3

haha yeah mines a hire from AA too.. it is so slow.. I thought it was broken or something .. so sluggish
I kept changing it from S to D ..not even sure what "S" means but probably "SHIT "

So uncool.

Though how about AA Insurance the best company to work for .. in today's Herald .. they came out tops.. though I have to say when I went in there to take my car they were all super professional and friendly.. and really customer focussed even after they noticed my fucking payment hadn't gone through they were discreet and nice!

Just a point to note, banks don’t run the transactions on a Saturday or Sunday night… and generally the cut off on a Friday is 7:30pm.

Which means if someone transferred the money any time after 7:30 on a Friday it won’t show up in their account until the TUESDAY morning, as it gets held over till Monday nights run.

The cut off times can vary, and also some banks treat transactions within their own system differently (eg ASB to ASB).

Maybe that what Bob was saying?

thats it and it depemnds a lot on the bank

Can I please have some advice Im at my wits end...The mechanic has texted me back everyday saying he has transfered the money..he never tranferred it to AA so I paid the excess...He then said he would pay it to my account and never did...I texted him to ask if I could just pick it up from him at his workshop he never replied...I dont know what to do as I need the money and he kept saying hell pay it.....Im stressed out from it all its a nightmare....What should I do? I was going to phone him tomorrow to see if I can pick it up....I dont want to just let him get away with it....fark sakes It is going to be so hard for me to trust a mechanic again.

I would have thought if he has admitted liability, and you have informed your insurer of this, then they are the ones that have to chase the money and not you. You should clarify this with AA. If this is the case then they should refund what you have paid them. You should also keep any texts he has sent you which may admit liability (directly or indirectly).

Call him or just turn up face to face...

PS is he a member of that umm mechanics group? I forget what its called at the moment.

MTA.

Yeah I'll do this. Probably just turn up if the money isn't in my account tomorrow morning. He is super nice to my face and I'm not really going to let it go.. I am not going to let someone blatantly lie to me and rip me off no fucking way plus all the stress I've been under because of it makes the money side less important.

What a sack of fucking shit this guy is.. seriously you should see his website " we care about our customers and pride ourselves on customer service" or some shit..

But yeah I just keep texting him saying I'll come and pick it up.. he texted me today saying it will be in my account today.. so far nope.. so I just texted him saying I'll come and pick it up tomorrow. He doesn't really want me hanging around dressed to the fucking nines speaking with his customers....

I'm starting to feel a little bit physco about it now

As reitterated it CANT appear in your account on a Monday...



Thank you thats what I was looking for.

And if he is then I would Lodge a formal complaint with them.. or maybe I'd mention it to the mechanic first.

Nah he's not part of the MTA lol.. he's dodgy as!!! He has said every day since it happened that he will transfer the money and has transferred the money.. Which is why I'm starting to get phsyco about it.

When you talk to him, be sure and use the phrase "WHERE'S MY FUCKIN MONEY BITCH? WHERE'S MY FUCKIN MONEY" forcefully, and punctuated by slamming his head down onto the nearest table top.

It might come to this I have a filthy fucking bitch temper when riled up to this point of stress and frustration.

This week seriously I've had the wreckers who took my old car try and get off paying me.. I ended up saying if they don't pay I was going to the cops.. then had one of the guys who came to get the car trying to phone me at fucked up times of the night .. missed calls at like 1am and shit like that.. seriously WTF!! Managed to get the money out of them. Just.

Then got this guy mucking me around.

I just want my unfuckheadguysmuckingmearound life back.

Shooting people in the kneecap will generally make them pay up fast, only one kneecap mind, with the threat of the other if you have to ask again.

Yeah I now understand why people shoot people over money.. it's not greed and shit it's the whole mucking people around and frustrating the fuck out of them.. If I was a guy I'm about 91% certain this guy would not be doing this to me.

Yeah I've only kneecapped people over principle; it's never just about the money.

QT turn up to this oxygen waster's shack and demand he pays you right there and then. Scream to high heaven and get right in his skinny runty face and don't stop doing it until he pays up or the police turn up. Hopefully it's around the same time he has other customers and he'll want to deal with it quick smart. Fuck people like this.

Yeah he just texted me "YES" WTF dude you're fucking off the wrong chick here.

I am going to be a mindfucking physco bitch if he even tries to get out of paying me I will turn up to his mechanics looking immaculate and as uncrazy as possible and be a scathing evil sweet voiced bitch not a screamy physco. I have my outfit planned.

Lean in all seductive-like and whisper in his ear that you have mob connections and will be talking to them tomorrow unless it's paid in full today.

Jesus girl. How did you get yourself into these situations?

It's not funny seriously I don't know what I do to make people think.. oh yip I'll rip her off ...

Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I really don't know what it is I just thought it was because I'm a chick? But yeah I don't know really.

?

NAME AND SHAME. Lets send a few boys round !

Yeah I'm waiting until I exhaust all my own options then if it seriously turns to complete and utter shit then I will definitely be naming and shaming his companies everywhere I can.. like whenever there is a dailydo or a voucher like that I will make a comment about this scenario and just make his life a nightmare... even if I manage to lose him a few sales it'll be worth it. Though, once I get (hopefully) the money I will name and shame for sure.

Though I am thinking he's not going to pay it..... and I'm not going to let it go.

I'm sure we could help draft up an email which we can send viral ala that catering company of a few years ago....


Which I guess didn't entirely work because I can't remember their name but it did at the time!

Yep, I agree with the mob connections bit. Let it spill out that you've dated the president of the Headhunters or something like that, and they owe you a favor.

Either that or some babylonian curse/hex/plague.

Headhunters have a policy, if they hear of any unauthorized people name dropping, or talking about them.. even if it's not straight from the horses mouth and nothing more than a third party rumour. They'll come knocking on your door, demand a cash payment and beat the shit out of you

Oh yeah I remember that...hrmm I just gonna hope its in my account tomorrow argh

omg just what I need....lol well I have gang contacts etc but that wont solve anything except probably get me in trouble...and I dont have much to do with them anymore as Im a good girl. Im just gonna hope for the best and use my physcobitch skills to the max. No matter what he will regret it if he doesnt pay up as I will lose him business.

it's psycho (sorry that's been frustrating me )

Haha woops. Gosh I cant wait for this epiode in my life to be over...its kinda putting me off meeting up with the guys from the fto car club I joined..they might try and rip me off or something too.. hrmmm

And then I grammar fail in my response *facepalm*

He didnt pay it...so Ill go down to his workshop today Im pretty much thinkin he wont pay it and has fucked me over.

wow

QT Take some burly mens with you!

Just go in and go spastic in and around his area

I phoned him he kept saying hed pay it today and not to go to the workshop ....lying again. I can tell when hes talking he is full of shit. He is not going to pay it simple as that. I will name and shame shortly

I phoned him this morning, he is so full of it saying he’ll pay it today. God I’m sick of it and he told me not to go to the workshop. So this is the place that completely damaged my car and then decided to blatantly lie and say they’ll pay for their mistake and spent 2 weeks saying they had transferred the money when clearly he hadn’t and wasn’t planning on doing it:

DTN Automotive and Customs
It is based in Glenfield, Wairau.

Stay away from this place unless you want extremely bad service, extremely bad customer service and an extreme lack of mechanical care and car care skills.

I am over it and really believe in karma so hopefully he gets what he deserves. I kind of feel better already just letting it go and accepting he’s a bad businessman and clearly is the worst possible mechanic out there.

If anyone wants to call them to ask where my money is feel free lol that would be awesome.

what if $$ is in your acc tomorrow?

unlikley and if it is then I can ask PD nicely to take that off for me but at this stage I am losing my shit over it ..seriously

even if it's in the acc tomorrow the name should still stay up in the thread, as their level of service has been terrible and people should know not to go there.

No it won't. If you have friends like this, just get them to go see him and to ask him intimidatingly when the money will be transferred. Works every time, especially if they have their patches on

Well at the end of the day, I’ve given him 2 weeks and every day he has told me he has transferred the money etc but hadn’t. He blatantly lied to my face and I would not want anyone else to have to be privy to his awful customer service. This debacle is a total loss to me of $800 which I think is a lot of money and I’m unlikely to see any of it.

He paid it today it has gone into my account.

Thank god I have to pick up my car tonight and pay for the loan car.. I swear to god this has been the worst customer service I have ever heard of.. If anyone can top this Id love to hear it.

or today?
