We finally totally upgraded our service because it drives me nuts to be unconnected.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089262993178320546.post-66024886084042884172011-03-15T16:35:38.836-04:002011-03-15T16:35:38.836-04:00I know your guys' pain.

They don't seem to get that if something doesn't work and they've tried all the steps they are required to tell us to go through, that we need a new flippin box. They aren't humerous becuase they take all my stepfather's jokes seriously and no one laughs. They get confused by my stepfather's way of talking and fall for every word puzzle he can think of putting them through, and sometimes you have to talk to them like they're five year olds and really slow like. It's hilarious, I have to hold my laughs in every time we have to call. Sometimes they're just stupid to the core and rare to get a living person through the machine shit. :)Erika Jones - Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653817907187341691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089262993178320546.post-48509166572266016192011-03-15T13:20:13.776-04:002011-03-15T13:20:13.776-04:00No, I'm actually looking for ways to squander ...No, I'm actually looking for ways to squander it!<br /><br />AHAHAHAHA! Brilliant.<br /><br />I feel bad for cable/satellite telephone operators. I do. But did you ever notice that they are not very humorous people?<br /><br />Me: The lights on my modem - you know, the ones that flicker? They are not on. <br />Cable Guy: None of them?<br />Me: No.<br />Cable Guy: There's not even one lit up that's not flickering?<br />Me: That's what none means.<br />Cable Guy: Try unplugging the modem.<br />Me: I think it needs to be replaced.<br />Cable Guy: Try unplugging it.<br />Me: I already did. Nothing happened.<br />Cable Guy: I really need you to unplug it while I'm on the phone and wait about 30 seconds before you plug it back in.<br />Me: How would you even know? I could just tell you I unplugged it, but never do it.<br />Cable Guy: Ma'am, you need to unplug the modem or I can't help you.<br />Me: Sigh. I'm just kidding. I did it.<br />Cable Guy: Wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in.<br />Me: Okay, nothing happened again.<br />Cable Guy: The lights aren't back on?<br />Me: None of them.<br />Cable Guy: Not even the static one?<br />Me: That's still what none means.<br />Cable Guy: Let's try rebooting . . .Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904644361157158234noreply@blogger.com
