When you tell someone something, and they say did you try doing this... and then just repeat back exactly what you just told them you did.

 

For instance, today I called my insurance company and said Barclays UK wont allow me to transfer funds as Kwacha, so what would the amount be in GBP and I'll transfer that. The lady then says, did you ask the Bank to send it in Kwacha?

 

It happens all the time. People don't listen. It's rude.

Did you ask the bank to send it in Kwacha though?

Never assume - people are stupid so you have to ask to confirm what you need to know. Ie. if they assumed that you asked them if they would send it in Kwacha when actually, you just read their website and it didn't explicitly mention Kwacha then that's not the same but a lot of people would just say "well it didn't say I could so I assumed I couldn't" or something

No. They sent the bill in Kwacha. I told them, "the bank won't allow me to send in Kwacha". They asked me, "did you ask the bank if you could send in Kwacha". My response, "yes, that's why I just told you, the bank won't allow me to send in Kwacha".

You have said "Kwatcha" so often it has lost all meaning. It doesn't even look like a word any more.

We all knew already about the total disregard insurance companies give to existing customers, my car insurance was put up by a third which was bad enough but the latest tactic it seems is to send out the renewal reminder as late as possible, I received my letter on the 27th giving me only 3 days notice before my automatic renewal would start, all a bit underhand I reckon.

When J.D. Salinger visited Zambia, he accidentally dropped a local coin in his whiskey and it inspired him to write a book....

"The Kwacha in the Rye".

 

I'll get my coat and wallet...

I noticed this this year - they always used to send me the letter 5 weeks in advance, now it's a week. Bastards.

Take the coat, leave the wallet, you owe us a round for that.

No timer on the big screen last night. Did my head in not knowing what minute we were in, I know it's not necesserily accurate but it gives you an idea.

 

Was that another one of UEFA's pathetic, petty, rules and regulations?!
