Nothing hurts worse than being beaten to death by a woman scorned by her TV and Internet provider.<br /><br />Rachel, now I've heard bad things about Dish, too. I'm convinced that NONE of them are any good. Perhaps I should start a second career in positive cable company customer service. CLEARLY THERE'S MARKET DEMAND.<br /><br />Erin, I don't recall your accent being that strong! Maybe it increased as you aged. Ha!<br /><br />Grape, I hope it went well. AT&T finally showed up here this morning (Sat) and did the work. Now we have to see how good the signal is.<br /><br />SET, thank you for that. I was so close to profanity myself that I might have used it if I hadn't thought I could possibly be recorded. My personal suspicion is that they use the tapes of people on hold with the VRU to play at their company Christmas party.<br /><br />Julia, glad you enjoyed it. ;)Katherine @ Grass Stainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258123193553569060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-47949519038182474902010-09-10T11:28:24.777-05:002010-09-10T11:28:24.777-05:00Oh, no!

Instead of saying whatever option they offer me, I've said, "give me a motherf---ing human to speak to or I'm going to f---ing come to your office and stab someone in the f---ing face." It didn't get me faster service, but it felt totally awesome.Sarah T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10010341715465970423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-72886464471602416352010-09-10T10:36:14.956-05:002010-09-10T10:36:14.956-05:00You crack me up!

Every time I finally get a human the first words out of my mouth are "Before we get started, I think it's fair that you know 'I HATE AT&T' Now we can begin."<br /><br />I'm off to finish school (hope the kids live through the day) and then I get to call AT&T ONCE AGAIN! Have a nice day.Grape Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127705969987544807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-86444200219356819652010-09-10T08:55:05.222-05:002010-09-10T08:55:05.222-05:00Poor thing.

I have to yell at them in little staccato bursts so they don't take my multi-syllabic stretching of words to mean I want to open a new account. NO means NO, darn you.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099581968132642851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-437628303549171922010-09-10T08:31:28.026-05:002010-09-10T08:31:28.026-05:00I sooooo would have yelled too!

I was so mean that when they were finished, 2 of them snuck out the basement door (we have a walkout basement) and the 3rd had to come up and tell me they were done. I'm sure he was the one who drew the short straw!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423342385808993642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157219456577679232.post-41709224251965551192010-09-10T08:24:28.442-05:002010-09-10T08:24:28.442-05:00At least you didn't kill anyone...yet!

One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest or Phycho? Maybe a Looney Tune?<br /><br />Hugs...we'll miss you.<br />Beckie, who is ready to move into the padded room next door.Sewconsulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00427879934589715958noreply@blogger.com
