Damned Office Rules...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

Apprarently, I'm not allowed to slap our clients.

So I'm doing this guy's taxes, and he's a U.S. citizen who works fulltime in Sweden (he's back visiting family for two weeks). Turns out the guy was laid off by his Swedish company, so the government there provided him with a financial package to start his own small business in Sweden.

Now can you imagine if there were a law here in the states that required American taxpayers to provide start-up funds for unemployed foreign workers, so they could start companies to be in direct competition with Americans?

But that's not why I wanted to slap the guy. It was when he started to run down the "socialist" government in Sweden and to say things like, "You really don't appreciate how free you are until you leave it behind. They're just not free over there."

Ungrateful moron...

1. Not free to buy an arsenal and shoot up a post office?

Or not free to sprawl across the nearest grate downtown?

A pretty aggravating asshole you had there.

2. Charge him a 'little extra'

and explain how capitalism works.

4. We call it the "Nuisance Fee"

The more time we have to spend dealing with your stupidity, the higher the price.

3. The NERVE of those Swede's

5. I had an idiot like that in my pizza shop last week.

Obviously retired, well dressed, and republican.

He asked, "Explain to me how a country with 96% employment can possibly be in a recession". If he's seen the surge of people the last few months looking for a job there, he might have an idea.

6. A good harbinger of a recession...

When former assembly-line workers are begging for a job delivering pies, you know times are tough.

7. Damned fool obviously doesn't pay attention

to the numbers of people who are deliberately not counted by the official statistics, or to the growing ranks of under-employed.

8. If he hates it so much, why does he live there?

Some people are so moronic and ungrateful. They will NEVER be happy. :eyes:

Whenever I get one of these yahoos on the phone ( I work in customer service) I challenge them a bit. I don't automatically buy the customer is always right bullshit.

9. Sweden: Love It Or Leave It!

But was pretty much what I wanted to ask the guy.
