My first bridal shower (eeee!) is tomorrow. And I am STILL ringless.
Over 3 weeks ago, I turned my recently returned from resizing engagement ring back over to Kay jewelers so they could send it to the company who made it, so that they could take a mold of it and make sure that my custom wedding band would fit against the engagement ring snugly. I was told it would take 3 weeks.
Notice, I started by saying OVER 3 weeks ago. My rings are not here. The manager is being a total bitch about it, too. First, she returns my call saying that she called “the guy” and he said they’ll be in, latest, next friday. Then she says that they TOLD me that it would take 4 weeks.
Pardon me, but NUH UH! I have the slip RIGHT HERE, and it clearly says JUNE FUCKING 7TH, which is 3 weeks.
Her response? “Wellll…it IS a CUSTOM ring, you know.”
ooooo…if I could have reached my hand through the phone to find her throat, I would have throttled her. They are not fucking MINING the gold to MAKE the damn ring! It doesn’t take a whole damn month to cast a stupid ring, and even if it does, they should have told me that in the first place, instead of making me think I’d have it in 3 weeks.
Bitch! Fucking* bitch!!! I WANT MY RING BACK!
* I’ve noticed I’ve been swearing like a one-legged syphilitic pirate recently. I need to cut back on that.
I fuck like cunt when shit you Barbra Steisand curse flaming cat rape a santorum lot.
Fuck her, the horse she rode in on and the brother that looks like her.
Exactly.
on a completely unrelated note, the customized links are done. And now with bubble tooltips! (just mouse-over the links) and if se7en reads this, hey, did you know someone took all that confusion and made it into an easy-to-install plugin? so all that aggrevation was for nothing? NOT ME? *weep*
My dad’s been in the jewelry biz for more than 40 years. His advice: Stay away from discounters like Kay’s, Gordon’s, Zale’s, whatever, particularly on heirloom jewelry like wedding/engagement rings. Seek out your local, hometown jeweler - you might pay more, but you are guaranteed much better quality and better service. My dad has customers who have been coming to him for decades because they know he wouldn’t sell them anything he wouldn’t buy himself.
I really hope you get your ring on time, and that next time you want something nice, check out the locally owned stores.
syphilitic pirates don’t swear too much. the pain and blindness tend to halt that. it’s the pirates with scurvy that really swore. scurvy and rickets. well… scurvy. kinda hard to rickets at sea… anyhow, yeah… pirates represent!
I’d have been like “get your manager on the phone you useless excuse for a whatever you are”. I’d also be complaining my ass off to everyone in the entire Kay Jeweler’s organization.
A day or two would be all right, but to to give those lame excuses is just bullshit.
