You Rang Utan

Sick of missing calls because you were stuck in Important Business Meeting? Angry that your coworker has not put his phone on silent and you're hearing Gangnam Style again? Fed up of receiving inept cold calls from people trying to sell you insurance?

Never fear, the You Rang Utan is here!

The Four-Hour Windup

Heading home in a taxi this evening after a boozy afternoon in Pui O, the conversation turned to awful customer service, and some friends' approach to dealing with unhelpful companies with inflexible policies and unfair charges. They'll actively spend as long with customer service agents as possible, tying up corporate resources with unnecessary queries until they feel that the company has expended an equivalent cost to the extra fees they've charged.

Early start

Sometimes it's good to get an early start to the day. Up and awake before everyone else, the world is yours to stamp your identity on, say 'this is the day that I really achieve some positive change in my life.'

And sometimes you get up early because your stomach starts making emergency calls at 4am, and you then spend the next six hours chundering into the well-appointed toilet in your luxury suite. It's perhaps a shame that when you're vomitting, the experience isn't enhanced by the quality of the receptacle.
