Translation:
Had to contact the warranty service because a small line appeared on the screen of a TV we bought from Damro. (Honestly, not even sure if it was there when we bought it we’re not the type to inspect stuff that carefully before buying).
First, I called the hotline, but it was busy, so I just hung up thinking, “It’s only a tiny line anyway.” Then out of nowhere, they actually called me back 😅. Didn’t expect a hotline to call back like that.
After explaining the issue, I asked whether I needed to take the TV back to the branch where I bought it, or if I could just hand it over at the nearest Damro branch. They said none of that was necessary they’d come home and pick it up themselves.
Since the kids would’ve caused absolute chaos without a TV, we had cleaned up and set up the old TV again. But then these guys came, took our TV, and left another TV of the same type for us to use in the meantime 😅😅.
No need to even mention that they repaired it and brought it back home too.
Now if they had brought some rice and kottu for the house on their way back and forth, that would’ve completed the service 😂.
Now that’s what you call a proper warranty 😇😇

Has anyone managed to put any faces behind @numberslka?
A few months ago, I asked them via DM. Their response was that they were "not in a position" to share their identities.
I like some of what they post. But my default is to treat any social media account without known humans behind it as suspicious (at best).

I just took a PickMe three-wheeler to near Havelock City Mall. As soon as he accepted the hire, he called and asked whether it was card or cash. I said card. Then he asked me to switch it to cash. I said no, I only had card.
On the way, he kept complaining, saying things like, “Card payments are troublesome, the money gets delayed,” and so on. I told him I was using a card provided by my office. I actually had cash with me if he had asked politely, I would’ve agreed and paid in cash. But he was acting in a pushy way.
Then when we reached the drop-off point, he suddenly seemed in a big hurry and said, “Get down quickly, I can’t stop here.” I told him to end the trip. He said, “Okay, okay, get down, I’ll do it,” but as soon as I got down, he left without ending the trip. I tried to end it from my side, but I couldn’t. I could see on the app that he was still driving around.
So I switched the payment option to cash. After about 10 minutes, he started calling me. I didn’t answer. I could see he had come back to where I got down and was looking for me while calling. I still didn’t answer any of the calls.
After about 15 minutes, I finally answered. He said, “You’re quite something said card and then switched to cash.” I told him, “You’re the one who didn’t end the trip.” He claimed he had ended it and that maybe it was an app issue. I said maybe the same issue caused it to switch to cash on my side too.
Then he asked for the amount that showed up when he finally ended the trip. I told him I’d pay the amount shown on my side otherwise there’s nothing I can do. In the end, after wasting time going around, missing a few hires, and searching for me, he accepted a lower amount and left.
At least now, he probably won’t try pulling that kind of stunt like not ending someone’s trip again.
Copied and well done bro 👌😂😂
Every politician and leader who attended @UPGammanpila’s book launch about the mastermind behind the Easter massacre should be ashamed of themselves. Precious lives were lost, and you chose to betray those seeking real justice by standing with a racist. Absolute shame.
