Straya service.
1. Italian lounge faded, local supplier inspects, declares faulty, orders a new cover from Italy. I remind them more than once we have a non-standard small lounge size, remind Italy. Wait 3 months. Company takes lounge away, next day phone call “do you want a larger lounge, cover is for larger model”. Now wait another 3 months for another cover.
2. Deck delivered minus one special joist. Company who supplied deck apologised & places an order with the steel supplier (Erskine Park). Promised 2 weeks. Gave them 3. Rang to check item manufactured. Yep, manufactured in Qld. Was at Erskine Park for work yesterday. So fkn pissed I have to go back tomorrow.
3. Mum’s fairly new apartment intercom - the zero button is busted - so you can’t use the panel to buzz anyone. Been busted for months & months. I rang the strata company today to follow up, answer was “Yeah nah we’ve spoken to the supplier old stock can’t source parts need to replace the entire intercom system in the entire building including all the units in each apartment at an enormous cost so it’s going to the AGM for approval”. Replace the entire intercom system because the zero button is broken.
Straya. The lucky country.
I swear there are hundreds of thousands of jobs in Straya purely to unfuck fuckups.
