Reasons Why I'm Angry With The Man (not safe for children)
1.
Charter internet recently sent me a PINK LETTER explaining that they were going to discontinue my internet on June 7 if I didn't pay my LATE bill. Um, dear Charter, remember all the conversations we've had about how I'm not going to pay late fees on payments that weren't late? I'M STILL NOT, fuckers. (More detailed story to come once the rage has subsided.)

Our rental management company are/is dumbasses. Last month we got a notice from them that they had been receiving our electric bills and we needed to pay the electric company and change the billing name and address. So I called the electric company and found out that a) the bill had already been paid by dumbass management company and b) the originally billing name had to cancel the service before we could instate it in our name. Since dumbass management company said they were going to cancel it at the end of April, I decided to wait until after that point and then call to reinstate.
This week we received another letter from them yelling at us. They would like us to pay them directly for the past month's electricity (apparently they figured out they had accidentally paid previously?) and do it fast because they were going to DISCONNECT OUR ELECTRICITY. The letter mentioned about three times that we better change the name. Um, dear dumbasses, WE CAN'T CHANGE THE NAME. YOU HAVE TO DO THAT, fuckers.

Today is Carolyn's birthday. (Woooo!) I got her Tall Tale on DVD because she feels the sort of nostalgia towards it that I feel towards Viennetta and when she found out that it was in the Disney Vault I think she cried herself to sleep. So, with the help of the eBay-addicted friend, I was able to extricate a copy from the Vault. But the FUCKING SELLER LIED ABOUT THE DVD REGION. Which means we could totally watch this blast from the past DVD if we were in Europe. And we're not. Dear Seller, I hate your lying guts.

Oh, rage?
Put your conversations with the internet dudes in writing and send it to billing, customer service and the president of the company.
Be proactive, dear one.
Write a letter to the management company stating:
1) payment for the month enclosed.
2) Utilities company has repeatedly told you that they cannot assign the account to you until the current account holder (Management Co) has ordered it do be changed.
Thus, Management Co contact Utilities co and discontinue AND inform tenant AS SOON AS YOU KNOW, at which point, Tenant (you) will contact and arrange for it to be put in your name.
3) Once that is done, contact Utility co and put in Carolyn's name!! :)
Dear one, you're language is starting to sound like your brother's. I don't think that's a good thing.
I've told him that he is permitted 20 "F---k" a day. You've gone over that in just one post!!!
I've been ripped off online too. Sorry about your bout with it. Hope you didn't spend too much money on it. But one thing you can smile about - I firmly believe in EBay Karma.

Abs, that DVD will play on your laptop. I have some European DVDs. Let me know if you can't get it to work.

Honest to God, this is the favorite activity of eBayers. it has happened to me several times.
Except the one time it didn.t
Can't you dispute it with them? Leave them negative feedback.

I think we should indulge in some mutual Egg throwing (at the Man).
