had the cable guy over today!

Sheezeeeeee, just about a dead ringer personality wise as Jim Carry....glad I survived!

Last couple days every once in awhile I would get "page can not be displayed", then try again and it worked. Honey said the TV would pop on and off every now and then, so I phoned cable. Over the phone they said we have a problem with out connection and they will send some one this AM.

Guy has to check every inside connection first (all OK) then goes to the outside box and he's all happy happy in a creepy way. Turns out one of the outside connections became rusted, but he needs to see if my PC works and needs to use my phone to call the office (not his cell)for some reason, so OK.

Then I couldn't get him to F****** leave! Guy was trying to sell me every friken cable upgrade out there!

1, more channels for $.....

I respond with, I can see whats on the channels we don't get, not interested, so NO!

2, a faster internet service gig-a- whatchama-call-it because we only 7.5 of these and we could have 9.5 for $25 and it would be faster!

I say, the .5 of a second after I hit enter works fine, fast enouph for me, NO!

3, I notice your phone line is not with us, we can hook you up to ours for $ and I granite we will beat the price of the phone server you have now every month and it's all on the same cable line

I say, well in the 10 plus years we have been here the cable has gone out a hundred times if not more yet I don't recall the phone line failing once so I'll stay with who we have, NO!


4, We have a land lord package for $45 witch would separate your cable from the suites witch would give both places faster internet and it won't effect your monthly bill!

I ask, so would that bring us up to the 9.5 whatcha-ma-clall-it?

He says, YES!

I then say, well why wouldn't I go with the $25 option you mentioned before to get the same whatcha-ma-clall-it???, and by the way, NO!

Well that stumped him and the tripping over his own words started !


In short, I kept saying NO! I kept Griffin locked in the bedroom as it takes awhile for him to get used to strangers but Rascal had to be to "Wall-Mart Greeter" and I swear even the dog was looking at him with a "Your dog dish is a cup short on kibble, isn't it?"

Gawd, I hope I didn't call him "Buddy, pall, of Friend"...... You know what that could turn my life into..............



And I'm to old and gimped to end up in jail, and.........





These guys must be on commission, Talk about hard tactic won't take no for a answer! Thing that bothers me is, how many older folk do they walk over and get them to pay extra for what they don't need?

 

If I ever had any doubt about having TV again, cable or coathanger, you just wrapped it up for me!

Just added 12 more VHS flicks for $22, from the thrift store. and 4 evenings without ever turning the Square-Eye on! Amazing how much I got done, and how smart my wife is!

 

They always ask my wife to upgrade or switch services to "Save Money" and when she says NO they ask, "You
don't like saving money?" She has a great response which is, " No, I piss away all I can, look in my yard at all the
cars, if I don't piss it away my husband will buy more cars and junk, so NO I don't like saving money!"

That usually ends it!

 

That reminds me Dennis yesterday I saw a stripper, smoking and driving a wagon...I totally lost it, just about drove my truck into a nudie bar, spilled my beer and everything.

 

Tedy should have called Larry the cable guy.

After reading this thread it makes me feel even better about not having any kind of cable or satelitte TV. This satellite internet is bad enough. It blinked off again today and seems to work slower all the time. But for $25 more I can get the better service.Or was that 29.95? That's what they told me when I upgraded it twice before. In over three years with this service the only thing I see faster is the faster the money is deducted and the faster my bank account goes down.
We don't even have a land line anymore.

What puzzles me is how does Dewey know that was a stripper driving the wagon? Did he recognize her from someplace he hangs out?

 

Yes he did recognize her, from...... The nudie bar where he just about crashed his truck and spilled his beeeer and every thing!.

 

You'd think at his age by now he'd know better than looking at women while driving near a nudie bar and drinking beer.

 

Wow, we went from talking about how the cable companies rip you off to Dewey's bad habits...we do have a problem
sticking to the subject at hand!

I am gone to go post a picture of a Roadmaster in my 1992 Roadmaster thread to get us back on track over there because
that is another one we derailed! Hahaha

 

Lots of simularities here. You're gonna get it either way!

 

Please do, we can.........



any thread, any time, faster than a speeding bulit !

 

Sorry about my bad habits, I guess I'll add one more to the list.

 

Whats to be sorry about:confused:....Every thread should be high jacked with strippers

 

Strippers? I led a sheltered life. Are those the guys that put lines down the middle of the road?

 

Yep!

 

Now thats funny right there, i don't care who you are,..
