The Used Pillow

Hi Sundance,
I am trying to buy a pillow but it won't take my credit card info, can you help me please?
Thanks
Kim


Hi Kim,
Thanks for emailing  me. I just have a blog here with some ramblings about help desk stuff, but I'm not really a help desk. If you have trouble paying for the pillow, you should probably go to the site where you tried to buy the pillow and contact them. Most sites have a help or contact link at the bottom.
In the meantime, you could fold up a blanket and use that as a pillow, or if you have a dog, let him sleep on the bed after his flea bath and use him as a pillow.
Peace,
Sundance


Hi Sundance,
I don't understand. I clicked on your pillow link and you're saying you're not selling pillows? It said 50% off on all used pillows, click here. And I clicked on "here" , then I ordered the pillow and that is when I got trouble paying.
You should probably remove your pillow link if you don't sell pillows.

Hi Kim,
Where exactly on my blog do you see a sale for used pillows? I mean, I can sell you mine if you really want one, but I think you are confusing my blog with a different site.
Peace!
Sundance


Hi Sundance,
The pillow link is gone now, that is not cool to quickly take it away and replace it with something different. I should have taken a screen shot of it. You know as well as I do where that link was. It was in a box over to the right just below "blog archive".
I'll be darned if I visit here again.

Hi kim,
Oh now I understand. You clicked on an advertisement. Those things change, you know. I don't have control over what gets advertised on my blog. Surely you are familiar with advertisements on the internet? Yeah google puts a little something in my piggy bank when people click those ad links, but if you click a link to an ad, selling something, I am not the one selling it. And just between us, I wouldn't buy a used pillow. Who wants to buy a pillow someone else drooled on? It's probably just a couple bucks more for a new one.
Peace!
Sundance


Hi Sundance,
So let me see if I understand this. I click the pillow link and buy the pillow. The place that sells the pillow gets money, and you get money too?

Hi kim,
Well no, you didn't buy the pillow, so the place that sells the pillow got nothing, and I got something. Yeah I know it isn't fair but fairness is a pretty relative concept after all. Don't worry about it.
Pleace!
Sundance


Hi Sundance,
I hope that your blog readers will realise how you are scamming everyone. I click your pillow link, I can't buy a pillow and you get money AND you shamelessly tell me the pillows have been drooled on. If you are not the one selling the pillows, then how do you know they have been drooled on? I think you talked yourself into a corner here.
The internet is full of scammers, isn't it.
Kim


Hi Kim,
I don't know for sure if the pillows have been drooled on or not, that is just an assumption on my part. Statistics show that 99% of all people drool within the first hour of being in bed for the night. You can test this by setting your alarm clock to buzz an hour after you've gone to bed, then check and see if your pillow is moist (once you have a pillow of course).
I'll buy you a new pillow if you let me post our conversation on my blog.
Peace!
Sundance

  2. I'm new here, so forgive me for asking a dumb question. I just want to get one thing straight about this blog. Are these real exchanges? Does someone really not understand how these banner ads works?

  3. Oh no they are not real, all made up, but I have no doubt that there are people out there who don't realise they are looking at banner ads.
    Take a look at this:

  4. Wow! You wonder how these people were able to even call customer service. I picture them on the floor yelling "Hello!?" into the empty phone jack socket.

  5. The sad part is...there are hundreds...no, thousands...of people out there like this. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

  6. Not long ago I was at the pharmacy counter at the local grocery story. They had one of those credit card touch screens. You know, the kind where you sign with the electric pen. There was a note on it that said, "Please don't sign screen with ink pen." I had to ask the guy if that was really a problem. He just laughed and replied, "All the time."

  7. Haha I really believe that. Some days I think I should write a book about that stuff.

    And it often happens on the opposite end too. Try and get help with something, just try.. I moved to a different home last summer and it took me exactly 6 months, 6 phone calls and 5 emails after switching my electricity, to have my bill sent to the correct billing address which, by the way, is the same billing address I have been using for 16 years with that same electric company. I'd never have thought it would have taken them 6 months to "sort this out".
    Life is funny :)
