  • 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...

  • Grrr neighbors that steal cable suck, they could at least have just split it, instead of totally disconnecting you.

  • You? A nerd?? Never!!

    They were probably too cheap to spring the $2 for a splitter. Twits. I say let the dog poop in their parking stall...right about where someone gets out of the driver's side.

  • I love you, Beth.

    And all the sex and drinking is my other favorite part of college.

  • I too am a total nerd and felt your pain for the stolen cable. My wife is barely nerd aware so enjoy what you and the boyfriend have together
