So I am soooo annoyed. I'm am a huge nerd, we all know
this. And on Friday nights don't expect to hear from me between
the hours of 7pm and 11pm and its Sci-Fi Fridays and FireFly, Stargate
SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica are on. My
boyfriend and I live for Friday night because its good shows, and
good alone time just me and him on the couch and ordering pizza.
I was on my way home from work last night and I get a call and its
Jason telling me the internet and cable are off. 'Que?' I
say. Jason recalls taking a nap and hearing some banging around
on the side of the apartment where the cable box is but thought nothing
of it. He called the cable company and they said that our bill is
current and they don't know what happened. So he goes to take a
look and someone had broken into the box, AND STOLEN OUR
CABLE!!!! There are four units that this box serves and all have
it hooked up but us. And the great part, Comcast says they can't
come out until the next afternoon, and its the season finales on Sci-Fi
Fridays. This will not work.
So our options are, to guess which one of our lovely neighbors stole
our cable and put it back and hope we guessed right and aren't
disconnecting some unlucky innocent person, call Comcast and scream
until they bring someone out there to fix it before 7pm. Go over
to my mothers to watch TV and then be bored the rest of the night, or
go door to door and try to beat a confession out of one of our
neighbors.
I opt for the beating of confession out of our trashy neighbors since
I'm in a rage, however Jason thinks it may be bad for intercommunity
relations for me deal out renegade justice and stops me just before
just after I starting banging on apartment #2s door and drug me
inside. Party killer.
What he ends up doing is going to the store and buying a splitter and
hooking our cable up to someone elses for the time being. He went
out this afternoon before the cable guy got here and removed it because
there is a $500 fine for tampering with a cable box even if it is to
restore your service that was wrongly stolen from you. The cable
guys said my hunch was right and it was the people in #2. This
ended with Jason dragging me away from apartment #2 just after I got
done banging on their door again. Party killer.
Now I'm not an overly moral person, I don't care if you steal
cable. Their service sucks and is way to expensive anyway
and they are a fat corporate whore of a company so screw them.
But don't steal my cabel on
Sci-Fi Fridays and leave me with nothing. Hell, I would have
struck a deal with them and used the splitter and we split the
bill. We both win. But now they are on my shit list and I
plan on letting my dog poop in front of their apartment and I'm not
going to clean it up. Serves them right. Bastards...
