Komcast Kops
Posted by Chief Oddball in the evening on January 5th, 2008Comcast missed my third CableCARD service call today. This is the second appointment in a row where the tech just plain hasn’t shown up, despite assurances to the contrary. Last time I had the 5pm-9pm window. Today I had the 1pm-5pm window. For my newly-rescheduled appointment, set for Wednesday the 9th, I got the 10am-12pm window.
I’m beginning to think that the guy is seeing “CableCARD” on the work order and just skipping me. These bums.
I predict they’ll keep stiffing you, and keep rescheduling you with earlier and earlier times, until you get the coveted 12-2am slot. You’ll be sound asleep when they come to the door; as you won’t hear them they’ll quickly leave and you’ll never get another Komedycast doof over. Ever.
Bwahahahaha! As absurd as that sounds, I’m at the point where I can no longer put anything past them. They did give me a choice of either the 10am-12pm or or 7am-12pm window. With my luck, if I picked the latter, the guy would show up bright and early at 7:00, find me asleep, and quickly leave.
He then, of course, wouldn’t inform dispatch of this, so I’d sit around all day waiting for the guy anyway.
