It’s the General Election Day in the UK! Apparently the Conservatives are on course to win…
…and if they do I will probably join the circus. It was nice knowing you all!
It’s also Comey Testifies Day in the US! And World’s Oceans Day. And… World’s Brain Tumour Day (I didn’t know that!)
It’s also I need a break from politics and shitty life day.
So, I’m going to revisit my favourite person who I have neglected of late due to apathy and having better things to do.
Here’s a post about Jared Padalecki being stupid.
Long story short: Jared ordered food using Favor. It didn’t turn up. He got pissed, huffed and puffed and took his complaints to Twitter.
I have no idea what happened past that his food didn’t show up, and he was annoyed.
Somehow he got talking to customer service and this tweet happened:
Dearest @ Favor “Kobe” at customer support needs to be fired. I’m sure he’d land happily with @united.
First of all dearest? What is this a greeting card? A letter to a long list friend? How courtship began in the 1950s? How do you waste seven out of one hundred and forty characters on dearest? His Twitter game is all the way off. Personally, I would have gone for a succinct ‘Yo’ or ‘Oi’. There’s passive aggressiveness and then there’s concision. The latter is more important.
Also, why – why – is he posting this person’s name on Twitter? Hasn’t he learnt? Oh, that’s right. Dude doesn’t give a fuck.
The tweet was posted (and deleted) in April. I didn’t see it back then, although, I did hear about it. I didn’t realise he straight up said the dude needed to be fired. For something that’s probably not his fault. And the ‘land happily with @united‘. I can’t work out what that was.
He wants Kobe to be violently mishandled off or onto a plane or just in general?
Or he thinks Kobe will land a job at United due to his poor customer service skills?
Or he’s just an idiot who really didn’t need to bring up United at all?
Correct answer wins a prize.
I saw the Pada Defense Warrior League hard at work. They insisted that Jared would never wish violence on anyone and that he felt horrible about what happened to the man on that United plane. And that he was within his rights to complain, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Something tells me that Jared felt more vindicated than horrible* when he saw that video. He was probably thinking, “THIS IS HOW TERRIBLY THEY TREAT ME MINUS THE VIOLENCE AND STUFF!!!!!!!!!”.
Everyone on his contact list probably got that video plus an essay about his unfair treatment.
‘Dearest Friends, if you haven’t yet had an opportunity to see this disgraceful act, here you go. Much of this justifies my complaints over the years!!!!!! I mean, weather delays, being forced to check a bag and every other petty thing imaginable almost equals the severity of this video when you add them all up and take into account my pain and suffering!….‘
Jim Beaver was also going at it with some fan, claiming that Jared has a right to complain. People were surprised, but Jim Beaver is never the voice of reason. Ever. That dude has no sense. I know I should respect my elders but people like him make it hard.
I’m sure Kobe is just fine, but I am truly disturbed (yet not surprised) that Jared has no problem belittling people in this way. I’m disturbed that so many people think this is okay.
He talks about treating people fairly and kindly but doesn’t do the same to people he deems unworthy. No one who works in customer service is paid enough to deal with the bullshit. Sometimes, there’s absolutely nothing they can do, and customers getting pushy won’t change that.
On the flip side, yes customer support workers can be flippant and they shouldn’t be, but I probably would be too. You’re basically listening to people complain all day long. Sometimes as a human being (who breathes oxygen), you have to consider that the other person is just doing their job and that job doesn’t involve kissing your ass.
Like I’ve said before, the common denominator in Jared’s bad customer service experiences is him.
Anyway, if it’s alright for Jared to do it, I’m going to tweet the CW** and demand that they fire Jared because he’s annoying.
Hopefully he lands happily @ somewhere far away from any television screen.
*I’m joking, wildly speculating, opinion, didn’t happen, please don’t sue, or leave abusive messages etc etc.
**Not actually going to do this. See above.

Fuck you. Jared doesn’t have a big ego. He was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety and he started the Akf campaign and he saved my fuckin life. All he ever does is give and give so fuck you. You don’t know anything about Jared
