Update: Cox Field Technicians Are Cocks.

As I wrote last time in A Tale of Two Fuckups

“There’s noth­ing I can do, there’s a ‘node’ down and I don’t have an ETA on when it will be restored.”

“Thanks for doing your job” I say in my most fake-chipper voice as the dolt leaves.

A Tale of Two Fuckups

Gotta get these two off of my chest.

Fuckup The First. Wherein Cox Communications Phoenix Angers an Angry Drunk:

At which point I get the ver­dict, “my tools show that you have a low sig­nal on the 3 boxes you have.”

Fuckup The Second, Or, It’s All About The Power Baby:

“Oh, but it’s sim­ple,” the drone explains, “we give you a lock for your gate that our peo­ple can unlock any time it tick­les our fancy.”

“Well,” the now less than happy phone-droid lec­tures, “If you’re going to be all unrea­son­able, we’ll have to sched­ule a ser­vice call to replace your meter with a stan­dard one and switch you to our stan­dard rate plan.”

“Wait, what?” I ask, “I am on your stan­dard rate plan.”

“Mm, well,” she sputters.
