Are there actually people who entertain the automated robotic sales-calls?
It almost seems like it just wouldn't be worth it for any call center to actually pay for such a system.
And yet they do...

SAPO Customs designations.

Product labeled "Multimeters", so obviously the tariff code is 4202.29: Handbags, whether or not with shoulder strap, including those without handle: With outer surface of leather or of composition leather: Other: 30% duty.

We all know how difficult it is to tell a multimeter from a handbag.

Something that's REALLY grinding my gears lately is how race is dragged into EVERY ****ING THING.

You can't have a squabble with another human without it being about race.

I had grievance against me from a colleague about a meme I sent him (he was being daft). HR told me I can be "****ing glad" he isn't black.

The meme had NOTHING to do with race!

This country is seriously going up the wrong path.

Agree with you soooooo much.

On a side note, I had an argument (shouting :)) with a work colleague who happened to be black - don't think our skin colour occurred to either of us.

Racism is used as a crutch more than anything these days.

Don't like someone? Call them a racist.
Someone looked at you funny? It must be because they are racists.
Stubbed your toe on a piece of furniture? Bloody racist furniture, how dare it!

Interview a candidate of a different skin colour.
The fact that candidate is beyond incompetent is ignored... I'm accused of being racist for not recommending employment.

Such fun
