I have beaten the monstrous, unholy dragon that is Cox Communications.
I will be getting high-speed Internet soon, and I will not be paying them their damn $4.
You see, I'd tried to sign up for new high speed service in January. And they sent me...a piece of cable, but no modem. When I called them about this, they told me that I couldn't have service until I paid my account balance, which was apparently four dollars. Keep in mind that I had not had any service from them for over a year. I asked them if I could pay by phone, and they said no. I asked if I could write a check, and they said no. I asked if they could add it to my bill, and they said no. Well, good.
I guess they finally figured out that it wasn't worth losing my monthly high-speed Internet money just so they could get four dollars that they wouldn't let me pay them anyway.

That's interesting. Did they expect you to bring the $4 to their CEO in person, crawling the entire way on your knees?

I got a $200 dinner complete with bottle of wine, appetizer, steak, fish, salad, and dessert (not in that order) for FREE! It was a mystery shop and even if I had been paying full price, it was a great evening. The waiter was FANTASTIC!

I just got a full time job paying me $10 an hour (in a college town) working literally whenever I want how ever long I want, and because of the slowness of my superiors I literally do nothing all day and get paid to do it. GO ME!

Yesterday I called Dell to RMA something and the guy kept putting me on hold... He tried walking me through a stupid script to diagnose the problem but "I'm sorry, the troubling equpiment has already been removed from the machine because I had to get it back into production immediately. I just want you to send me the replacement parts so I can ship you the broken ones back."
And he put me on hold again.
"What colour is the light on the power button," he asked. "The parts are already out of the machine"
Hold...
"What happens when" "I already replaced the parts."
Hold...
"Look, I'm almost out of time. Just send me the replacement parts" "Ok give me a second"
Hold...
Cell phone goes off. I'm out of time.
**HANG UP**
...
This morning I got in and the replacement parts were sitting on my desk. Less than 18 hours from my call.

Maybe I should've burned it as a sacrifice to the Great and Vengeful God of Cable.
