An inane but cheerful story of good customer service from Argos to end the day.
'Safe Badman' :- Argos wins at Twitter when customer tweets to ask if Playstations are in stock at Moss Side store.

Immy 'BADMAN' Bugti tweeted the catalogue firm to ask when the 'PS4 tings' would be back in stock - only for the company to reply in spectacular style

Hardly spectacular, but it raised a smile. :D

    To be fair this was funny the first (hundred) time(s) but the fact that companies put young people in charge of their twitter shouldn't really be a surprise any more

    Stupid tweet replied with another stupid tweet. Not funny, interesting or newsworthy.

    I once sent a letter to the Inland Revenue all in rhyme as my previous correspondences were all ignored. I had a phone call a few days later to say my letter had been all round the office and the lady on the phone said she would have loved to reply in kind but wasn't allowed. I finally got my rebate cheque after having been taxed on the wrong code for ages.

    I thought I'd managed to erase a painfully embarrassing moment, but that tweet exchange brought it back to life in Technicolor.

    Two colleagues and I were invited to a restaurant to dine with a client and his family. We three shook hands with the parents. The client then introduced his boys, about 13 and 14, both in urban street outfits (baggy jeans, baggy tops, waistcoats, backward caps, etc.). Edited: the client and his family were Taiwanese.

    Both boys just nodded their heads in acknowledgement at me after I said hello. As they turned to the next colleague, he suddenly crouched a little and cocked his fingers and thumbs at them, cried loud: "WAAAAAAAAAA-sup?!"

    It was obvious he borrowed it from a TV advert that was going around on the Internet at the time. A group of men in their homes whilst on phone with each other, going 'Waaassup?' Edited: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W16qzZ7J5YQ

    The thing is, he said it so loud that almost everyone in the restaurant looked at us. Also, the U.S. advert wasn't commonly known in their country. The boys, their parents and us stared at him. The trying-to-be-hip colleague finally realised it didn't go down as well as expected. He straightened up, and held his hand out politely to the boys.

    The boys looked at their parents who nodded not-so-subtle furiously, for them to accept the handshake. The boys looked at each other and went to the table, openly ignoring the colleague who still had his hand holding out for a handshake. The mother, clearly embarrassed, grabbed his hand and shook it. We laughed awkwardly, shaking our heads at an invisible thought, "Kids these days, eh?"

    Every time I remembered this incident, I cringed. I still don't know what possessed him to do that. He just wasn't the type. He was usually serious and sensible.

    Hmm.. not sure I liked the notion of proper news sites trying to become Buzzfeed. Soon all news sites will just be clickbait.

    To be fair, somebody at Argos was so obviously taking the piss with that reply, so to that end it raised a smile. :D

    Thanks for informing us about that...
