Indonesian Motorcyclists

Some said that American/European cars never lasted more than 5 years. These people probably:

1. Work as a Japanese car salesperson.
2. Don’t know a shit or two about cars.
3. Never owned an Avanza in their lives.

Don’t ask me how I stumble upon this article, as that doesn’t really matter. What matters is the statement it includes:

“Two of the main causes of temporary impotence are tight pants and prolonged cigarette smoking.”

Is this a valid scientific argument? I don’t know, the article did not state its sources. But, let me get this logic straight… Wearing tight pants could give you temporary impotence. Now, hipsters wear tight pants ALL the time, so it’s safe to assume that they have permanent impotence?

If this is true then… HOORAY!!!! The idiot generation stops here! We can now stay calm and carry on.

If you’re stuck with First Media’s stupid customer service officers that you can reach at +62 21 25596000, use this to insult them like I did just a moment ago:

“Kalo dari pertama saya bisa ngomong ke orang yang kompeten, masalah debat kusir ini ngga bakalan ada, dan saya ngga perlu buang waktu saya untuk men-challenge kecerdasan Mas yang ngga seberapa. Dasar goblok!”

Then you wait for the officer’s response. That is if monkeys could give you a proper one. And don’t forget to add this at the end of your conversation:

“Oh ya, jangan lupa, Mas. Sekolah! Biar ngga goblok-goblok amat.”

And that is how you deal with Indonesian customer service officers.

First rule of a good customer service: STATEMENT FIRST, REPLIES LATER. Of course, unless you’re an idiot like First Media.

I find it very funny how several BlackBerry users can’t justify that WhatsApp for the iPhone costs $0.99. It’s not free, they said, and it’s pointless that we need to buy that app to be able to communicate with other smartphone users, unlike the BlackBerry Messenger that’s there by default.

Well, several BlackBerry users, this is what I can’t justify: The idea that you have spent millions on a smartphone, a car, a digital SLR, and the rest of things that you probably don’t need, but you still have second thoughts on spending a buck for an app. And oh, by the way, the last time I checked, your BIS subscription is not free either. Or is that something that your mom paid for you each month?

Not necessarily, but there’s nothing wrong with it. Here’s an example, when you argue that Linux or even Windows win over Mac because what matters is the function and not the looks, then you are simply tasteless. What is wrong with both function and looking good at the same time?

You buy an Audi or BMW for their good looks, but at the same time you can always use an ugly-ass Chinese car to get the job done, no? Come on, you will eventually have come up with a better reason to cover up your jealousy.
