Hey, I know...have your coffee with a couple of shots! Problem solved. Hope you have a better night.

Oh aggieb! It would not be good for us to hang together. We'd never get anything accomplished. I generally have the same type issues daily. I'm sorry for you. Have more than one drink.

Are you freaking kidding me?

Seriously?!?

I pay my monthy phone bill online EARLY, directly from my bank account, get a confirmation email thanking me for my payment and telling me it has been processed, and then my phone gets turned off!!!!

Why? Because there was a glitch processing the payment (nothing I did wrong BTW) and the new policy is that if your bill isn't paid the computer automatically turns off your phone.

Forgive me for thinking that just MAYBE before you turn off the phone you notify me somehow? Perhaps with an email sent by the same computer who turned off the phone when the bill became 24 hours overdue? (You know, at the same email address where you tell me my bill is due, my bill has been paid etc.) Or with a message on the phone number you obviously know?

I could see if I had accrued a large balance, was overdue, had a history of non payment, etc. but I had PAID the damn bill EARLY!

And you sure as HELL don't try (note use of word try) to make me pay a reactivation fee that is more than the bill when I call to find out what the hell is going on! :angry:

oh no they di'n't.:nono1:

that stinks sb.

Yeah, I don't mind paying a fee when I screw up or am late paying something, but this kind of crap where they deliberately try to screw the customer to make a quick buck REALLY frosts my cookies.

You know, like the credit card company (Edward Jones, you are SO on my sheet list) where if you login the day BEFORE the bill is due, the earliest time you can pay it is the day AFTER the bill is due...............with a late fee AND interest! Pucking ridiculous. :angry:

Thank you! I too have encountered this little bit of flim flam with another credit card company. Every month, when they ask for feedback, they get an earfull and guess what...nothing. Same thing next month. (I know, I should remember from month to month, but I'm doing good just to remember to pay the damn thing).

Knowing Embarq they tried to call after the phone was cut off.

Nope, they supposedly mailed me a letter! I'll let you know if I ever receive one! :rofl:

If someone asked you as you were going into the grocery store, "Do you mind taking my cart back in? "...

what would you do?

Would you hesitate for even a second?

Dear snobby biatch,
i'm not lazy. I'm not stupid. I know where the carts go when you finish with them. It's just that i depend on the kindness of strangers after i unload all my groceries and buckle up two kids under 3 into a hot car. I don't like to leave them unattended even for the few seconds it would take me to push the cart over there. You were going into the store. Was it really such a freakin' inconvenience for you and did you have to look at me deadpan and then over to the cart corral as if i was a moron?
Respectfully yours,
a worn out, hot, aggravated, and annoyed SoWal mom.

Dear no-driving, probably unlicensed immigrant,
When making a left turn, you must yield to oncoming traffic!
Sincerely,
pissed off

Dang, I feel better. :roll:
