How I got Raped By Adelphia

Yesterday I got raped.. I usually enjoy getting raped.. exspecially at the hands of attractive big breasted ladies, (more then one at a time is especially cool) but yesterday I was raped by my cable company Adelphia, and there is nothing I can do to escape the abuse that this ugly whore of a company was dishing out to me.

I wake up at 5am Friday morning to start my daily routine of responding to emails, (because I have some friends overseas I tend to get emails in the middle of the night and if they are at all related to my “real job” then I try and respond quickly..) So my first inkling that something was wrong was when my trusty gmail could not find the server.. so.. i blinked a couple of times thinking this would fix the problem.. alas no luck, so then I went through the process of trying to figure out what the problem might be.. you know the usual restarting the computer, unpluging the cable modem, ect. All I managed to do was unsinc my computer and get my vonage phone to turn off… ACK. So I decided to cut my losses and head to work (great idea when irritation level is at red alert).. and the raping had only begun.

When I got home, it occured to me that possibly I forgot to pay my bill or something, except my bill is paid automatically through my bank so I figured.. nah.. alas I figured I better check this out.. so I find one of the paper bills I get and I see that there is a pass due balance of $4.76 cents.. it seems that my auto payment was off by $0.37 cents and over months and months everything added up to a whole $4.76.. keep in my my monthly bill is well in excess of $130,… I know what your thinking… and your RIGHT.. THESE FUCKING IDIOTS turned off my cable and internet for $4.76… in the process they of course also turned off my phone because.. I have vonage so they I had to try and call them on my cell.. which is run by another piece of shit company Cingular / ATT so of course everytime I got through to a customer service rep it dropped them.

So then I was forced to drive down to Hermosa Beach, about a 20 min drive in shitty friday afternoon traffic.. (and yes it is less then 2 miles away) to pay the cable company in person.. ok you might at this point think I’m a little nerotic about my internet.. I’m not.. I’m also sharing my connection with other people in my building via a router.. and I hate to be the reason nobody has internet! - (and to all you karma fucks out there that think sharing / stealing internet is bad karma and I got I deserved.. FUCK OFF). So in the process of driving to Hermosa, Christine calls and makes me yell at her because #1 she is deaf and #2 she was acting like a child on crack when I was already very cranky…. (sorry for yelling at you Chrissy) .

So I pay my bill.. and they assume everything is turned back on.. I get home.. and the cable is on but not the internet.. so then I have to CALL again.. I’m on the phone for about and hour (35 minutes of waiting, 20 minutes of convincing the stupid ass woman in customer service that nothing is broken but that her jackass company has not turned my account back on, and 5 minutes of her wanting to test everything after she flips the switch turning my account back on). So that is my story of how I got raped by an ugly woman named Adelphia.

I know what you’re thinking…

1. The new Adelphia slogan is freakin’ cool. Nice job, Christopher!

2. Christopher is an angry guy. Duh. I’ve been trying to tell you that for months. By the way, although it sounds like something I would definitely say, I didn’t once mention that the leaching of cable could somehow affect Christopher’s karma. I have learned that employing “karma” in a plea to get Christopher to do anything (a) simply doesn’t work, and (b) will result in a half hour diatribe from Christopher about how stupid karma is. So, while I see the situation with Christopher’s Adelphia proof that karma is at play, I know he does not.

3. Let’s clarify that part about me acting like a child on crack… Here’s what happened. Christopher calls me and asks if I’ll do him a favor. I say sure. He asks me to log on to Adelphia’s site and give him the 800 number for customer service. As I’m waiting for my computer to boot up, he gets impatient, says, “Nevermind.” and hangs up. Normally I would be pretty pissed about someone asking me for a favor, and then after I graciously agree to do it, having them hang up on me because my computer is not fast enough (don’t forget that Christopher also calls me from his car when he’s lost and asks me to Mapquest things for him). So I hang up. I dial him back. He’s on the other line and not picking up, so I assume he called 411 and got Adelphia’s number that way (which is what he should have done in the first place). I leave a message explaining that I didn’t appreciate the whole hanging up thing. But I’m still very calm, cool, and crack has not yet entered the picture. So then he calls me back when he gets off with Adelphia and he’s on his way to their offices (I assumed to kill them) and the connection on our cell phones is bad. Either mine, or his hands=free… I don’t know. But I couldn’t hear anything but static. I say, “I can’t understand what you’re saying. I can’t hear you.” And he starts yelling, “CAN YOU FUCKING HEAR ME NOW???!!!” I say, “Stop yelling at me.” He says, “I HAVE TO FUCKING YELL BECAUSE YOU CAN’T FUCKING HEAR ON YOUR FUCKING CELL PHONE, YOU FUCKING DEAF BLONDE!” And that’s when I decided the conversation was over and I very calmly said Goodbye. So… while he knows that calling me “Chrissy” irks the shit outta me, the apology in the post was genuine and warranted.

But I’m glad we got through this. Cable company rapes can be traumatic and Christopher is truly a survivor.

It’s not “then” in “more then one at a time,” but “than.” Didn’t used to be, either. It’s just wrong. Seriously.

Bluedog.. was there a reason why the “then”, “than” error stuck out to you more then the 20 misspelled words or other structurally wrong grammer errors? lol

I have Adelphia and unfortunately I have no other choice. I pay 134.00 a month for internet and cable. You can’t have one without the other they said. What a rip off. For weeks now my internet connection has been giving me problems. They finally came out and replaced the modem. I wonder how much that will cost me. I wish there was another alternative. Until then, I guess I’m stuck.

This sounds like Comcast. I honestly I do not think I have had as many headaches with any other company I have done business with, but they are the only game in town when it comes to cable.

yes, adelphia blows. I’ve recently exposed them for the suck asses they are on my own site, and have switched to SBC/Yahoo! DSL as a result. Come over to the light.
