Tech Support is PISSING ME OFF!

**Fire Me Boy!** · 07-06-2005, 01:00 PM

I've been on friggin' hold for an hour! An hour ago, the message said there was approximately a 4-minute hold time, and I was third in line. About 7 minutes later, it said, "Your call is now first in line. A representative will be along shortly to help you. Thank you for your patience."

So now... 53 minutes later, it's a matter of principle. I kept waiting because I kept thinking it would end soon. Not so. Now, I'm holding just to give whatever poor soul answers the phone a big ass chewing.

Sounds like Time Warner Cable!

globat.com -- they're the host for my company's website and the ****ing bastards locked me out of my ftp account. I'm finally in now... then the bitch put me on hold again.

Although... at least the woman isn't taunting me anymore by saying I'm first in line.

Please hold while I transfer you to Charamanthapur Rampallagomonthimir, the non-Engrish speaking Malaysian intern, who can't help, but can whip up some of the meanest buckwheat noodles you ever tested outside of Jakarta.

you must be calling Web One PlanetKC

I'm in charge of creating and updating our website at my internship (even though my degree was in Sports Management) and PlanetKC was the worst company that I have been involved with....so I made the switch to Time Warner cable

This is why I pay to rack my own server. Nobody can lock me out of s**t, no caged monkey in the NOC has my root password, I can change anything I want without retribution, etc.
