Annoyance 038 and 039

AAAAARRRRGGGH! I despise Mediacom's service call approach. Who of those on God's green earth with a job -- has between 1 and 4 hours to sit around for one of those "I will be there in 5 or 10 minutes liars"?!?" SERIOUSLY, who in this current day of TECHNOLOGY, which THEY promote, has this sort of service system?!!!!!? CLUE PEOPLE, you can call me and tell me when you are on your way, and I too will be on my way.  I have no reason to lie to you.  I'm totally motivated to be there as soon as possible. God forbid you wait ONE minute! 

I'm further annoyed ...

For Pete's Sake! There are flatulence rules!!! Rule Number One -- one will be excused. Rule Number Two -- Repeats will NOT be excused. TAKE your business outside of the vicinity of my ear and nose range. See that sign labled "men" with the image of a little man on the door.  Head that way little man.

  1. Ah.. the resultant "by-products" explains the tardiness... must have had to stop in at the local Taco Bell...

    I hope you got everything fixed up after all the aromatic abuse..

  2. Those tech guys are so annoying!!!! I mean, we couldn't live without them these days, and they KNOW it. Which is why they get away with crap like that! Last year we switched to a different cable company. Waited all day one day, no show. They promised the next day. Waited all day, they finally show at 6 pm. I mean, 6 frigging pm?! And it took them TWO hours to work on the cable. So, your annoyance is mine too :)

    as for smells, thats a whole post in itself for me. I have super nose, it is a blessing and it is a curse too!

  3. I feel your pain girl! I told that numbskull that I could be there in one minute when he told me he would be 5 or 10 minutes, yet I waited for 45 minutes for his lying sack of no goodness to get there. What a doofus! I left him working on the problem which he said was an "outside" problem. He said he wasn't sure if this would fix the problem, and for me to check on it at lunch and to call if this didn't fix it. I assured him at that point, that if I lived without internet service long enough due to a problem on their end, that I may come to realize that I can live without the service for good.

  4. And when the repairman calls, tell him to wait, that you will be home in 2 to 4 hours. And farts stink so the he hearing impaired will know why others are laughing and pointing at you.

  7. OMG! You mean the rotten repairman farted in your house? OMG!! I think sometimes they just hire people to ... well maybe they know how to sign their name... Mediacom was bought out by Morris Broadband in our area and so far so good. But... because I work online I have to have reliable service so I pay BUSINESS RATES. They have to have me up and running in 24 hours. So far so good and my fingers are crossed.
