bigfish1965 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Me: Hi, I paid for a new outdoors card last year but never received it. MNR: Can I have your name please. Me; Sure, it is Rick O'Banion MNR: I am sorry but we don't have a Rick O'Banion on file here. Have you ever purchased a license before? Me: Uh...yeah. Lots of them MNR: We have a Richard O'Banion, but no Rick Me: ..... Really? MNR: Yes sir, that is what the file says. Me: But that is me... MNR: Didn't you say your name was Rick? Me: It is. MNR: so are you Rick or Richard? Me: Really??? MNR: I just need to know your name. Me: It is both... MNR: Both? Me: Yes..Rick and Richard are the same thing... MNR: Not according to this sir. Me: Seriously? Rick is a short version for Richard. MNR: Well we have a Richard on file....but no Rick. Me: (Seeing I am getting no where) I am Richard. MNR: Oh, I thought you said Rick earlier... ME: No...that's probably just my bad cell connection. MNR: Ok, I can see we need to update your file, thats why the card wasn't mailed. Sir, we have your name spelled two different ways..one with an apostrophe, one without. Me: Yes, that is because your computers would not accept special characters in names back when the card first came out. MNR: special characters? Me: Apostrophes...your computers could not use apostrophes in names before. MNR: So is it spelled with an apostrophe? Me: I don't really care... MNR: What is it on your drivers license? Me: With an apostrophe.. MNR: Well it has to be the same. ME: OK, so can you change it? MNR: I don't really know., sir. ME: You know, how about I just go buy a new one and save this aggravation. MNR: No sir, having two cards is an offense. Me: But I don't have one now..so how can I be in violation? MNR: Well, I think you do have one..its just in someone elses name. Me: You mean Rick OBanion MNR: Yes. Me: I hate that guy. MNR: Pause... Ok sir, I am going to put you through to my supervisor. Me: Sigh...sure. MNR Supervisor: Hi, Rick. ME: Hi..look this is pretty simple actually MNR Supervisor: No sweat Rick, I see the problem and I have fixed it. Me: Really...cause it seemed like and issue for awhile MNR Supervisor: No, I just think that some people can't...well, it is taken care of, it will be in the mail today. You will need a new sticker though. Me: Yeah..thats good, thanks! MNR Supervisor: Anything else I can do for you? Me: No..thats about all I can take for one day...Ciao.
Guest gbfisher Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Hey Rick....lol I guess nobody told you that the MNR was put in place to make it almost impossible for an average person to fish.
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Hey!!! How'd Cletus get a gubbermint job?
dhickey Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 same thing is happening to me! cant get any where with them? getting a little ticked off with them i have had to buy 3 in the past 7 months so i could at least show current paper work showing that im legaly fishing. 1st time there was no record of me purchasing my renewall. 2nd time my address was wrong. when he read it back to me it was the sme as it had been for the past 10 years? he also said that it had been sent back /returne to sender? that was back in january before going to nosbonsing. this forced me to buy a third time. still havent recieved it. whats up with that???? frustrated/ getting there!!!
Harrison Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Wow, that's crazy Dick, I never knew you were Italian, Ciao
Nipfisher Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Ricky, I didn't know you spelled your name with an apostrophe. Like this Obannio'n?
Michael_Brown Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 What are the odds the card shows up for'Dick Obanion. Next season you will need several licenses, could get expensive. Richard, Rick, Dick, Rich if you get the three year regular license for everyone should be around $1000.00
ricoboxing Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 how the hell were you able to remember that conversation? did you record it? LOL
Headhunter Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Wow, that's crazy Dick, I never knew you were Italian, Ciao LMAO! Rick, Richard, oh man, what ever, just be glad your name isn't Ray Jay Johnstone Junior! Cause they doesn't has to call you Johnstone! Or worse yet, you could be O'Bannion/O'Shea! HH
bubbles Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 That is Awsome, you know you are going to meet up with that putz on the water one day. Whn you do tell him your name is the same as his.....Dick
grt1 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I had the same problem in January and they wanted to sell me a second licence in order for me to fish prior to the outdoors card arriving. it's the old left hand , right hand scenario.
Dara Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Why do you keep changing your name? When you get the cards you will be able to take what, 3 or 4 limits per day...just stick one card on each pile and tell the CO you are watching the fish for the other guys
wayne Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 oh my god... my sides are hurtin' .... that was hilarious!!
FishTracker Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Sorry you had to deal with that R, but it's so typical! I used the online renewal (where it confirmed my address information, etc.) this year and I [surprisingly] received the card and 3 yr license within a month!
Dara Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I was heading out fishing and stopped to buy my license. I wanted a combo with 3 years fish and 3 years hunting. They said they couldn't sell that to me. I don't want to mess with buying them every year and taking a chance on forgetting so I said skip it. I'll fish without it this weekend and buy it online next week. Came to me within geez...I think 2 weeks, so things worked out ok
misfish Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Got mine yesterday.Bought it in December.Atleast I got it.
MJL Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 Too funny Rick I remember when I turned 18 and purchased my first license, they misspelled my last name. I called in, did some paper work they requested I complete, and sent the card back. 6wks later, I get an envelope in the mail, I open it and it's a new card with the same spelling mistake...Go figure
GBW Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 now that was funny I guess the summer students have already started...
irishfield Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Summer students.. don't give them that! The apostrophe has been a long standing issue. We can't renew on line as their server crashes your application with a sytax error. Edited March 17, 2011 by irishfield
camillj Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I always do it online and print my own temp one till the other arrives ...
vinnimon Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Havent received my card yet and Im not reall y worried about it. Its paid for and I have my slip! As for what you had to deal with
