Telemarketers are Comcastic...

Ok, so weirdest thing yesterday...
My house phone rings, it's 'unknown name, unknown number'
so I thought 'eh, probably a telemarketer' but I answered anyway.
The woman on the phone (henceforth known as S.B. *stupid bitch*) says...

S.B.: "hi, is this Miss Belanger?"

I was like "huh?"

S.B.:"yes, is this Miss Belanger?"

I said "Uh, NO... there's nobody here by that name..."

S.B.:"well, are you sure? I have Lisa Belanger at this number..."

I said "uh, I should hope I'm quite aware of who is & isn't in my own home thank you very much. What is this concerning anyway?"

S.B.: " Oh, she had an appointment for us to come set up her comcast cable & had the appointment cancelled & we just wanted to know why she cancelled..."

I said "well that's very interesting EXCEPT Lisa Belanger does NOT LIVE HERE!" (clearly stupid people work for comcast...)

S.B.: "Well could you check?"

I was like, "I'm sorry? Did you just ask if I could 'check'?"

S.B.: "Yes Maam, that's correct."

I hung up.

I honestly have the patience of a SAINT when it comes to most things... animals, children, family, most neighbors, select strangers etc... but THIS WAS JUST TOO MUCH!

And here's the kicker, I actually HAVE A FRIEND NAMED LISA BELANGER! Well, she was Lisa Belanger but she has since married & she took her wife's last name so she is no longer Lisa Belanger but still, even if she WAS, she's never once lived here in my home.

And let's take this one step further, let's say that at one time she DID live here with me (which she didn't)... if I say to S.B. that "No she does not live here" that should suffice, yes? One would think.
And then you dumb asses at comcast wonder why people cancel their appointments with you for service? Sadly, that should be painfully obvious!

Must've been 'weirdo Wednesday'... good times.

heh

Hmmm, "most neighbors?" I seem to remember a certain neighbor with a certain dog who you're not too "saintly" with.

*snicker, snicker*

Heh.

my husband is a cable contractor - his main contract being with the fine people of Comcast.
I'm here to tell you they are ALL assholes. Every last one of them. or S.B. take your pick.

Don't 'quote' me woman! LOL I SAID 'MOST neighbors...' clearly stupid dog bitch 'see you next tuesday' IS NOT in that group. LOL I swear, she's afraid of me & she SHOULD be. I love animals, I really do but IGNORANT PET OWNERS WHO DON'T FOLLOW THE SAME SET OF RULES AS THE REST OF US RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERS JUST PISS ME OFF! You should've seen her today, TOTALLY avoiding walking past me & Ruby downtown when clearly that's where she was headed in the first place. Once she saw that I had stopped to chat with a friend, she chose an alternate route. LMFAO Stupid bitch. HATE HER!

Did she have an Indian accent? All our telemarketing has been passed off over to India! And lots of people live in one house, in India, and maybe she doesn't know all the people living in her house?!!!

Ahhh, forget it, I'll stop making excuses...she's just a S.B!!!
