http://consumerist.com/2011/09/it-took-four-appointments-and-a-call-to-the-police-to-get-my-time-warner-cable-internet-installed.html

Guy in New York tries to get Turner Cable. 3 times already they failed to show up or had some other silly excuse. On the 4th try the cable guy says he can't install the cable because of the fence. The customer says the fence wasn't an issue before. And apparently the cable installer got extremely defensive and very argumentative. Refuses to install the cable, but also refuses to leave. Instead he calls his supervisor to come over and prove he's right. While the customer calls the police to get the wacko out of his house.

In the end the customer got an apology (maybe some free stuff too) and his cable miraculously installed despite the fence.

Despite the antics of the Turner Cable installer. This Comcast installer is proof positive that it can always get worse. This installer comes into a ladies home and starts touching himself. She looks away and then looks back and he's got his "cable" out, stroking it, while staring at her with a grin on his face. Dude, that ONLY works in pornos. Holy crap, that's just beyond creepy.

You really have to wonder about the general intelligence and sanity level of people these days. Once the client told the cable guy to leave that should have been that pretty much instantly, how the cable guy doesn't know this is amazing.

And the other guy, well that is just pretty much full on retard by hormones.

wow those are really some of the more peculiar ways that monopolies end up being bad for consumers.

why can't cable be like coffee. Even if it's overpriced there's about 10 million places to get it.. from big chains to regional to ma and pa to wholesalers and discounters.

I had a female cable installer hit on me when I moved into my last apartment. I banged it a few days later.
