    do you mean t w a t ? thats what I assumed it was.

    anyway, is t w a t any worse than bog off? and how can one quantify these things? to me it sounds like a minor disagreement among two eight year olds. Hardly earth shattering stuff is it?

    Actually I was making a very poor joke - your original quote was tw*t but the word used by the OP was twa*.

    Sorry :)

    As to whether twa* is worse than bog off - I suppose if you were to be pedantic then one does have a sexual connotation whereas the other is maybe more toilet oriented? :eek:

    Use of the word aimed at an individual, constitutes bullying and assault, as you will know an assault does not have to be physical.

    I have to comment on this though, do you not feel, punkstoner, that shouting at someone down the phone whom as you know is not supposed to respond in anything other than a professional manner, is in fact bullying?

    I don't think it was right for the employee to send you a rude message but I also don't think your original attitude was right either.

    anything in a sexually related context from an unknown individual to a customer of their employer is frankly disgusting.

    Is this a wind up?! What a loser. This bloke really needs to get out more. I am actually a customer of Orange. Do other posters wish to say which network they are with/employed by. Im sure not many are CS for T-Mobile. One word (well, many) spring to mind PETTY.

    Puleease, there are plenty of words that have become so used that their original meaning is lost.:rolleyes:

    You can cut the outrage to us - it's obvious that you are just hoping to get out of your contract or money off of your bill.:rolleyes:

    But incidently, have orange ever texted you with the purpose of labeling you a tw@?

    I get out as much as I can, at the time of recieving the offensive message I was actually out...

    No I havnt had a text like that but, come to think of it, I have always spoken to them in a polite manner. I beleive in ''speak to someone how you wish to be spoken to.'' What a clown, you have given us all a laugh though!

    I repeat, no matter what, you cannot, and i mean cannot call a paying customer a tw@.

    Stuff is different obviously in the taxpayer-funded, liberal haven beeeeb.
