A slight detour from S&S today. I've had some nightmarish customer service experiences lately (whoever invented those automated voices ought to be strung and quartered), and I'm struggling to find something to say at the end of those horrible calls. "Thank you" hardly seems appropriate. Who better to turn to for guidance than Ms. High & Mighty herself, Lady Catherine.
"I take no leave of you, Miss Bennet. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased."
Lady Catherine De Bourgh, on leaving Lizzy after her surprise appearance at Longbourn
Pride & Prejudice, volume 3, chapter 14
I hardly think these great and horrible corporations would be moved by the fact that I'm dissing their mother.

LOL. A wonderful retort!
