Remember that's not necessary, they said in the 1951 that ducking and covering was good enough.
... and that cockpunching thing? Sounds like it stings!

You wouldn't have these problems with Larry.

If your Cable guy works for Roger's - don't let them convince you to go with their home phone service..
You will only end up with bigger problems..

The cable guy was supposed to come and connect my today, and he's still not here!
I don't understand how someone can be late for a job when the appointment window is TWELVE ING HOURS.
And actually, it's not the lateness that I'm bothered by, it's the unprofessionalism of NOT getting a phone call to tell me he's running late.
God, adults who can't manage their time are enraging. Now I know why the cable guy is a cable a guy. ing moron.
I better get a ing discount on my installation charges.

in all fairness its probably not the cable guys fault. you can probably blame the people who dispatch or relay the information to him/her, or the people who scheduled the appointment.
im a technician and i work 1pm-9pm. i often get jobs that are due at 12pm, so the only way for me to be on time would be to build a ing time machine. if i know im going to miss an appointment i will call ahead, but half the time i have no control over it. thus im appologizing as soon as i get to the customers house (or when i call in advance).
of course being the face of whichever company i represent i get bitched at.

Yeah well I set the appointment up a week ago. I DID say, "Where are these people's supervisors?". And, like I also already said, it's not even the lateness that bothers me, it's the complete lack of any sort of phone call to tell me, "Hey sorry, I'm running late". Very unprofessional.
Not to mention I called these s twice today.

Hahah..one day they just randomly cut it off. Took a week of fighting to keep my number and then another week to reconnect.
In the mean time they connected some random number that was not really connected to the house.. and then when I questioned it they had no idea what it was. This of course until Sympatico gets in touch with them to reconfigure the house line for high speed..
Then they configure the random number.. long story short. I ended up without a home phone for 2 weeks and without internet almost a month.
I was on a Rogers rampage.
Only good thing about them.. they give stuff away for free all the time. Just need to bitch enough.
Jenny - if it is Roger's call and keep complaining and keep them on the phone and you will get free stuff.

Haha, it IS Roger's, and I've heard the same thing before, lol. This is what I get for ordering cable. Stupid ing t.v.
Is it weird that the only reason I want it is to keep me company now that I live alone?? There's only so much wine I can drink on a school night. :toothless

After all was said and done.. I got around $300 in credit for my ordeal. I am sure you could suck at least $50 out of them.

Hahaha, yeah I'm gonna see if I can get my first month free. If not, no biggie. I don't want to argue over something that's really so trivial. But I can still try! :toothless
