I Hate Cars

I bought a beautiful new car (to me) a few months back, great car, great price... really happy! Lately though... really pissed...

The air compressor blew up, no AC, and the first quote I got to fix it was $2,200.00?!?!?! WTF?! That's over a third the price of the car?!

The front grill insert had come loose, and now, it's on a highway somewhere?!

The glove box latch is broken... useless glove box?!

And now, the cup holder won't click back into place?!?!?! WTF?!

This is post $1,000.00 of work that was done by the previous owner right before I bought it. What else can go wrong?! Did I mention it got some hale damage a few weeks ago?

So now, this car, which I want to sell, is worth about half of what I bought it for. I've made 3 payments on it. Sometimes I think God hates me and my punishment is my cars (if you know we, you know my history with them).

I hate cars.

Tech Support Help?

Here are a few tips for when you have to call technical support for any problem.

1. Remember your name and where you live, we are going to ask you, and it doesn't make you look too bright when you have to "think about" what your last name is.

2. Think before you speak. When you are asked to turn on your computer, don't ask me if I'm going to do that for you... I can't control your Dell over the phone, if I could, I would have caught it on fire by now.

3. When asked a Yes or No question... answer Yes or No, do not tell me yes, and then start to explain something that has absolutely no bearing on the current situation. The fact that you washed your car yesterday while your laptop was in your briefcase in the passenger seat is not the reason you are unable to get online, if you think it is, please disconnect your service and go with a different provider. Thank you.

Cox Communications | Wall of Shame

These are actual quotes from customers while on a call with Tech Support:

"Do you like Manwhiches? It's kind of like a Nu Way."

"What's wrong with my TV... it keeps flashing off and bleeding then coming on and bleeding."

"Your tech just came out and installed my phone, now my garbage disposal doesn't work."

You're welcome,
