the war on idiocy
Rogers = Not so much with the service. Or intelligence.

I know, I know. The incompetence of Telecommunications companies is well documented, and hardly revelatory. But I just had to share this.

So, I decided to upgrade my HD Terminal to an HD Personal Video Recorder (PVR). I made my appointment, and the guys shows up with a half hour to spare in the three-hour appointment window. So far, so good. Except that he doesn’t seem to have brought a PVR. I question him on this, and the following conversation ensues:

“I ordered an HDPVR.”
“I have an HD Box.”
“I can see that. But that’s not what I ordered.”
“I have an HD box.”
“I ordered a PVR.”
“Oh. So where do you want me to install the HD Box?”
“I don’t. I already have an HD Box.”
“So why did you order another one?”
“I didn’t. I ordered a PVR.”
“I have an HD Box.”
“Are you actually retarded, or are you just doing this for my benefit?”

Gold. Good game, Rogers. You’ve got some bright lights working for you.

    When you get your new iPhone you will forgive Uncle Ted and perhaps name your first born after him.

    a) iPhones = tech longboard

    b) you needed an installation?
