Just filed an FCC complaint against Spectrum and CenturyLink. Had another call from Spectrum today telling me they wouldn’t be able to do the install due to the number not being ported. I said what install, there’s no install, we’re just waiting for the number to be ported. So, they canceled whatever install they had scheduled.

So a couple of hours later I get an email with an additional charge of $50 from Spectrum. When I call them in it, they say it’s for the install. Again, what install? And what is this December 30 date? So, again cancel the install and tell me that the 30th is now the date the number will be transferred by.

I’ve had it with the lies and the finger pointing by both companies about why they can’t get my mom’s landline number ported. All these providers can suck it.

Fucking car dealers are all such goddamn scumbags. Car picked out and ordered two months ago and it finally. I'm going to pick it up tonight. I was going to pay cash but decided to take the cheap APR and dump the rest into I-bonds at 7.1% because......fucking duh.

While the salesman is telling me the amount being financed and the term, I'm running the numbers here and their monthly payment is $20 more than what I calculate. Why is that? "Oh, yeah....we put some bullshit proyection on the car for free......but there is a monthly warrant payment on that."

And you decided to try to sneak that by me by burying it in the monthly payment with no other mention of it? Fuck you. Congratulations, you successfully sold a car and lost the same customer in one day. Dickheads.

Why on earth would I trust you with service if you've shown you'll fuck me the minute I'm not looking? Why the fuck would I buy another car from you when my wife's car bites it in the next 5 years?

Bunch of twats.

I expect the dealership would be around and that’s who I hold accountable. Salesmen come and go but they work in a a manner established (or at the very least, permitted) by the dealer.

Strong disagree. Why would you add an apostrophe when pluralizing the word “typo”?

Perhaps in a previous lifetime where “typo” was still treated as an abbreviation of “typographical error” I could see using an apostrophe, but in that case, I would also expect a “.” after typo to indicated that it is abbreviated. With typo now an accepted word on its own, I see no need for the apostrophe.
