How to fuck with a company that screws you over

I vote for twitter too. I never wait on hold anymore. One twitter post and I got heads of departments calling me.
 


I'm telling you guys, twitter is the way to go.

Last week I got:

Saucony to send me (2) new free pairs of shoes after fighting with their social media retard.

Both of these were after going through normal customer service channels and getting nowhere.

Nice, I thought you were only going to end up with 50% off at first
 
Problem is that the twitter and FB thing works with a large, relatively honest company that cares a lot about it's brand image, but it doesn't really work much on a small/medium company who doesn't use twitter much and would just remove your post from their FB wall.
 
I'd say, unless you're making money with your revenge, just forget it. Now with regards to making money, I'd say before you do anything consult a lawyer, the last thing you need is to be charged with extortion. But I bet if you're clever you can at least recover your costs and maybe make some money with methods mentioned above.

A pretty good way of avoiding any potential charges would be to build up some 301's and redirect them to competition, push down the asshole's site. Then call him up and let him know you would be happy to push back those 301's to his site if he made good on what he owes you AND continues to pay you a monthly fee. (with the understanding those links will be pushed back to the competition should he fail to make good again) What can he do? Sue you for working for the competition?

And what better revenge is there then to have this guy that thought he fucked you over and got away with it, now voluntarily being pwned on a monthly basis? :D
 
I guess resorting to retaliation to get leverage is one way to do things.. Or you could hire some Russians to DDoS their site and totally fuck them...

However, it takes time and energy to do this shit... And it's negative, angry energy to boot. Which in time will take it's toll on you!

Me? I prefer to focus on making more money, because there will always be dumb fucks in business who do you wrong and the only way to not get caught up in this loop of retaliation is to make enough fucking money to where you don't care!

DO SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH YOUR TIME!
 
What?! Some chick didnt get her flowers on time and you want to waste valuable work hours fucking shit up? There are other women out there you know...

Got the flowers delivered to her home in another city at 8:00 at night, plus a full refund from a company that essentially told me to go F myself. The power of credible threats ;)
 
Oh, and although some might consider this going above and beyond, I can tell you with certainly that it doesn't cost much to have a homeless person break all the windows in a storefront. Or so I've heard ;)

Time Warner Cable to give me a statement credit and my own customer service rep after they didnt show up at my house when they said they would.

Both of these were after going through normal customer service channels and getting nowhere.

I work in the TV cable industry, I can tell you what gets escalated the quickest:
1. Email to CEO / VP
2. Youtube
3. Twitter
4. Facebook
5. Blog
6. Call

Its the sad truth. Youtube videos make people go crazy.
 
So years ago there was a UPS driver who was delivering things to my GF's office building. Her office was mostly young attractive females, so this guy used to just hang around the office and try to chat them up.

My GF was asked to call UPS and complain about the guy, and when they told him to knock the shit off, they actually gave him her full fucking name. Later that night when she went home, he was parked in his truck outside her house. No joke.

I called UPS to get it straightened out and they tried to stonewall me. I got the full name of the person I was talking to, and I started reading off names to her from Jigsaw.com of various managers, directors, etc and told her I'd be e-mailing them all to let them know how she had handled a very serious and potentially dangerous situation.

I also mentioned that, while my GF is 5'4 100lbs, I'm 6'5 and a gun owner, and if he shows up again he's leaving feet first and I'll be announcing her name to the media and to the police when they ask what happened.

Two days later the guy was in a police station crying in a room full of cops and private investigators. So say what you want about "wasting your time", but the shit works when you need it to. Nobody wants their name attached to this shit, especially when you tell them that every employer who googles them for the rest of their life will read whatever you want them to read. Losing your job is almost guaranteed if that happens.

That's a 100% true story, albeit the most extreme example I have to date.
 
Ordered some Dominos a few weeks ago and this dipshit delivery boy was 5 minutes late. Needless to say the mafia got involved and offed his family, got some hobos to smash up that domino store's windows and made a website to complain. 50 years in prison but so fucking worth it.

Thats what they offered until I caused some twitter issues for them. I went around to a couple people tweeting that they were thinking of buying a pair and @ them and saucony how i thought their quality has gone down. They wanted that stopped real fast.
 
What would you rather spend your energy on? Tearing other people down, or building yourself up?

No brainer if you ask me.
 
lol, this is a gd deal man, of course you'll find haters, even in this thread.

if you say that u don't support this idea and then go about commenting against this thread, aren't u already wasting your time? aren't u contradicting urself? there are many people who don't agree to this, who might read this and then walk away cos it doesn't bring any benefit to them, try to be like them. if u take a step further, those who really cherish their time, the title would already not make them into this thread.

now, gg towards more constructive things... I like the idea, I would've created this thread myself!

now we got a list of people who are keen on this, lets take it to the alley and prevent further "I don't like this idea" comments. concentrate on those who has a purpose. update each other with the latest tactics to get what we want.

in summary, people call it revenge but I call it satisfaction.

if u were to give me an option to either choose all the money in the world or happiness, its apparent even to those haters. think abt it.

I once sent an email to the whole city council, county vector control and the CDC about my old apartment complex and their rat problem. Awesome results!
