Here was one of my favorites. The day after Hurricane Hugo a man called the local cable company and demanded “Where's my cable! I pay for cable TV and should get it!” A few miles away they didn't even know if people were alive or dead and this moron is screaming for his cable. His area was out for a few days, many people south of his location were without power and cable for weeks, some months.

They should have asked he would mind if they recorded his conversation so everybody working to restore his service would hear him directly. More than likely, his arrogant behavior would have insisted upon no less. Then they could have broadcast him throughout their cable services as a public service for the entire area to know who the fellow was and let him reap the consequences of his behavior in that particular market.

I’m not at all surprised. We called Direct TV yesterday and they credited our account for over $100 and we didn’t even ask them to, we just wanted on the list to get service. We were given an appt for 9/26 for the guy to come get the signal back. My husband got up there after the call and adjusted it himself and it’s fine now. We’re going to give it a few days and make sure and then cancel the service call. Most of the time, you can get a lot more if you don’t demand the impossible. I hate to be on the other end of the line for some of these calls from people demanding services right now.

Do I know you, or was this another one? The one I remember was a 6’1” guy who had a 5’4” girl ready to take his face off.
