I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


To report phone service interruption, please call...

To report electrical outage, please call... (assuming you have cellular or landline service)

To view a map of current outages, please go to [website]... (assuming your PC and Wifi run on something other than electricity!)

To report a missing debit card, please enter the debit card number ... (Hello? It's MISSING.)

To activate your service, please go to website ... (If you can get there, HA!)

The WORST, the absolute WORST, experience I have ever had is with UPS.

What can "brown" do for me???

How about ... providing a phone number, and a real live person that I don't have to cycle thru the automated menu four times, trying to figure out how to outwit the damn thing. (HINT: When in doubt, press zero. It's the one thing that they DON'T tell you, even if it's a valid option.)

Yup.

Now try navigating these things when you refuse to get a cell phone.

Two more tips...

When using any phone system that lets you use your voice, say "Operator" and you'll probably end up where you need to go.

Also, whenever you're trying to haggle price on something like cable, say "Customer Loyalty" and you'll probably end up with a better deal by the time you hang up.

A Google Voice phone number works on smartphones and the web so you can place and receive calls from anywhere. It is free. I have a number.

Would it be unwise for me to give 6ix my Google Voice phone number? I think so, but unlike the Trumptards of Texas who work for me and have my number, 6ix is more amusing. The real live Texas Trumptards I see all week at work are dumb and crazy, yet all think themselves smart, steady, wise, reliable. They are funny people. I get a little entertainment from people who are that deluded about themselves. On the other hand, 6ix is smart and only slightly unbalanced, comparatively, to Texas Trumptards around Baytown and into Pasadena. 6ix makes me think not all Trumptards are hopeless messes. I won't talk to 6ix on the phone because I might be disillusioned about him.

I see that Fat decided to spew her nonsense in another thread last night. Predictable.

"Customer Retention" has also worked for me in the past.

Sometime this month they're going to try jacking my internet back up to over $50 from $20. I'll let you know how it goes.

If you're not paying for a product, it's because you are the product.

I wonder how many people have died because they couldn't place an emergency phone call with their *free* Google phone service they didn't know was cut off because they had expressed a doubleplus ungood thought that violated Google's nebulous TOS?

Geez... Does Fat think that if you don't have a cell phone in 2021 you don't have the ability to call people?

There's plenty of other options out there that don't do your thinking for you while planting a GPS location and a hot mic on you 24/7, Nilly.

Yeah, but you have to be pretty dedicated to that tin foil hat and it gets pretty toasty in there. Then brain cells fry.

It THAT what happened to you??

Well, let's see... in a TOTALLY apolitical thread about something many might find a little funny, SECONDRATE, TWITCHY, and REAVERBOT have all proven themselves to be humorless bitches.

HA!

Say it ain't so, humorless bitches!

Take a look in the other forums. Nilly's just been following me all around ever since I shut her down in the Bill Gates thread last night. She's even annoying non-RWED Firefly folk with her bullshit.
