Customer Service

I called WSIB to get a clearance certificate and the women who answered on the phone was surly and I'm pretty sure chewing bubble gum as well. She was being uncooperative so I just said I'd call back. The next woman who answered was extremely polite and helpful and didn't make me jump through hoops. If you ever get a terrible customer service agent on the phone, just hang up and call again.

Go to hell, Rogers.

Great article on Wired explaining why ISPs like Rogers are total money grubbing assholes. You Don't want ISPs to Innovate.

Get Off My Lawn

I was walking my dog earlier this evening. As I was passing by a house, an old woman sitting on a lawn-chair started yelling at me to move my dog off her lawn. Actually, she was yelling at my dog.

"MOVE DOG! GET OUT OF HERE DOG, GO! STUPID DOG! I'M AN OLD CUNT!"

I'm paraphrasing there but you get the picture. I didn't say anything. She was likely afraid that my dog would take a shit on her lawn. I just kept moving. After my dog had done his business somewhere else, I bagged it and headed back. When I reached her house I lifted the bag up and yelled "WAS THIS WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?" and threw the bag at her. It hit her squarely in the face, leaving a streak of shit on her forehead. She rose up to chase me but her kneecap buckled and she fell on her lawn... where she lies to this day, quietly crying about her sad pathetic life.

This comedian is about to die

Gabriel Iglesias is on the Comedy network right now. This guy is going to die of a heart attack. In fact, in researching for this post, I googled "fat mexican comedian going to die of heart attack" and Iglesias' name showed up. At least he won't be gracing us with his horrible comedy for much longer.
