Comment Re:Who are the real jerks here? (Score 1) 612

You call them 'jerks' not because they are real jerks. You call them 'jerks' because you are jealous of what they have and who they know

Some cunt acts like a cunt, it's not jealousy to point out they're a cunt.

I have my own home, a nice car, a great work-life balance, financial security - and integrity. Like I give a shit if they're playing power games.

They're still cunts.

No, just recognition that getting knee deep in shit can't be done remotely from India.

That doesn't mean we're jealous of people getting knee deep in shit, and personally I'd prefer to risk my job being outsourced and stick with my comfortable office based role.

Of course, in the UK the plumbers are all immigrant labour anyway these days - word is it's harder to find a Polish plumber in Poland than it is in England at the moment.

hmm, good question. I knew someone in Bristol that wanted to set something similar up, not heard whether he got it going or not.

To be fair, the prices I quoted involve professionals doing the measurements for you and glass lenses with a number of coatings on them - that definitely adds to the price.

Even so, not sure you can get prescription glasses for $15 here. Hell, even 25 years ago my first pair cost me £20, and that was a cheap pair.

Create an uncomfortable pause. Just look at them, don't answer their question. They'll ask it again and societal norms will force them to wait for an answer, and to register your response. That's when you ask again if you're free to go.

After that, I'd go straight for "Are you deaf or stupid?" but I'm no respecter of authority.
