Man, I hate waiting at home for stuff.
I'm waiting for a delivery (or rather was) and the delivery man scheduled to deliver today just pulled up five minutes ago, and without even knocking on the door just drove off.
I went out of my house to shout and shake my fist a bit, but the guy didn't pay any attention and just carried on driving away.
So anyway, I rung up the depo he works for and the conversation basically went like:
And NTL. Am I the only one in the world who gets weak ass service from these guys? I've had Broadband since they introduced it in the UK 2/3 years ago, and in that time I've gone from 500k to 1500k. In that time I've also had a technician out anually due to some fault that affects me and no-one else in my town.
Basically my modem looses it's signal and just goes through the boot sequence connecting every once and a while briefly before loosing it again.
I run NTL up yesteray to try get them to send a techncian out, an sods law as soon as the guy on the phone said "let me run some tests on your modem" the damn thing started to work, so he didn't believe me!
As luck would have it the modem ****ed up again before he even put the phone down, and he was like "whoa, your modems just vanished from the system, let me run some more tests".
So after an hour on the phone he finally believed me and arranged to get a technician to come and sort it....
.... who I am currently waiting for, browsing the web on crummy 56k!

Me: "Scuse me, I've just got up to wait for a delivery and your guy pulled up for 2 minutes, and then drove off without even checking to see if I was in".
Depo: "uh huh, well we can probably get him to come back, no promises though, or maybe tomorrow?"
Me: (knowing full well this guy doesn't give a shit about his job) "yeah, whatever".
