hey @HomeDepot is it standard practice to give your customers an 8a-8p delivery window during the workday with no tracking, & your delivery drivers dump a pallet of flooring in the middle of customer's driveways without even ringing the doorbell? Should've used @Lowes SMH
3) they penalize you for anything and everything, without warranty and no process to appeal it. they claim on the phone (during the hour long holds) that you can chat them to fix issues - their chat is broken for hosts and has been for months. #CantSayEnoughBadThings#UseAirbnb
If there was any business you'd wish out of business, who would it be? I'll go first. @vrbo is simply #THEWORST to its hosts. My listing is suspended although their own agents admit it should not be, no rules were broken, and they keep "escalating" it but no one fixes anything 🙄
2) their customer support agents aren't authorized to do anything. if the call drops, they never call back. I'm on my 5th call about the same issue, have spoken with a manager. who keeps this site running? do they get paid for the zero effort they put in? #WorstCustomerService
@Sandinmyboot Can you confirm if GA passes allow exit and re entry during the day? This was always allowed at @Hangoutfest and we’ve been coming to that for 10 years. Excited about the lineup but want to make sure we can go back to the condo and hydrate / cool off between sets
@British_Airways delayed us on the tarmac for 5+ hours from Dallas to Rome in Early August. I submitted a compensation claim per their posted signage. Today (12/5) I get an email gaslighting me about the experience & offering me a $60 voucher. How is that acceptable? #neveragain
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

Rental Condo Guest: "Is there Uber there?"
Me: "Yes, it's like any other city..."
Guest: "So how do I do that?"
Me: "How do use Uber?"
Guest: "Yes"
Me: "It's an app..."
#PSA Airbnb & VRBO hosts are not your personal tech advisors. Stay at a hotel if you need service like this.
@axs ‘s ticketing process is complete #trash. Don’t have people select seats in a time crunch. Spent 30 mins clicking random seats when they should just have a “best available” filter. Do better. This is so archaic and awful. You’ll never compete with @Ticketmaster like this.
We messed up with our last tweet. We removed it and we apologize to everyone we offended. Respect is central to our brand values - our recent language did not reflect that. We have learned from this, and we will do better.
