File under: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

A couple of weeks ago, I had emailed eBay's customer service to ask a question about whether or not a listing that I wanted to list was within their guidelines. The website told me that I should expect an answer within 24 - 48 hours. In my world, that's also known as 1 - 2 days.

A week later, when they hadn't replied, I asked the same question again, but prefaced the email with "2nd request".

A week later, they replied to my first email with an answer that made vague sense.

Another week later (today), they replied to my second email. Their email began with:
"To begin, if you did not receive these notices, you may wish to contact
your Internet Service Provider to ascertain the cause of the
nondeliveries."


So... if... I... didn't... receive... this... I... should... ask... my... isp...? But... if... I... didn't... receive... it... how... would... I... oh, fuck it, nevermind

  • Oh my gosh! That is so frustrating!

    My friend always has Whiskey Tango Foxtrot in his IM profile - that's funny. :)

  • So, lemme know if this is ironic:

    Conversation with self:

    Me: WTF does Whiskey Tango Foxtrot mean?
    ME#2: Whuh The Fuh....Whiskey Tan..... oh... you're stupid.
    Me: That's not nice, take it back.
    ME#2: Well, who doesn't know that?
    Me: Well, obviously I didn't.
    ME#2: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is wrong with you?

  • I don’t know if you should go on a killing spree or if the lady who has voices in her head should go on a killing spree. Yours should be directed at E-Bay, maybe the lady with voices in her head should get some medication before the voices tell her to do something bad like buy a Jay Z CD.
