Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say
grow up
.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

*gets off soapbox*

Thanks And All, But...
So, a few weeks ago, I emailed Olay in regards to the "Olay Regenerist Thermal Skin Polisher" product they have. I bought it a few months ago because I was looking for something that would be a mild exfoliant I could use to supplement my normal face-washing routine from time to time and it had pretty decent reviews. I liked the product but was frustrated to find that about halfway through the tube, it basically wouldn't come out of the package anymore. It clogged or something and instead of coming out in the thicker consistency of the product, it was thin and runny and lacking in the little "crystal" bits that do the scrubbing. The tube is designed where you can't unscrew the cap either. It doesn't come off. So I couldn't even bypass the smaller tip in an effort of getting more of the product out.

This was a major bummer since the damned product was like $13. Waaay more then I spend on things like this normally. I had splurged and now I only got halfway through it before it became pretty much useless.

Which brings us to why I emailed them. I explained the problem, told them that while I did like the product itself, I felt a bit cheated that only half of it came out of the tube. And that I was hesitant to spend another $13 not knowing if it would happen a second time. (Is the package design flawed? Or was it just random, dumb luck that mine clogged all up?) It might not be much to most people, but actually putting a $13 face scrub in my cart is painful to me and doesn't happen often. Anyway, I got a response from them that they were going to follow up in snail mail.

A week or so passes and I get a letter in the mail. Within is a coupon for my choice of a free face product. Which is great, until I read it's limitations.
Free Olay Facial Product Not Total Effects, Regenerist, Definity or Quench.

Which, yeah...kinda includes the very "Olay Regenerist Thermal Skin Polisher" I contacted them about. Worse yet, when I took the coupon with me to Target, every single product they had was one of the lines the coupon was NOT valid on.



So, er....what good exactly does this coupon do me? And what does it have to do with the, you know, actual product in question? Oh yeah. Nothing.

Tonight I replied to their email. I thanked them for the follow-up letter and the gesture of the coupon. But I also commented my confusion on the fact that I can't use the coupon on a replacement for the product I emailed them about. If they had sent $2 bucks off the product I want, that would have been more helpful then a free, imaginary product. It didn't have to be a free product coupon, just something towards getting a replacement for my defective item.

So I guess we'll see what happens. Love was the one who suggested I email them back because he found the whole process a little absurd, and I have to agree with him. Sometimes you just don't quite know how to confront a situation that's, thanks and all, but...hu?
