Telling a Giant to kiss off




Every now and again it's nice to tell one of those Corporate types to just bend over and kiss my six. The fact is when it comes to big business outfits whether its a utitlity company, cable company or an ignorant Internet Services Provide(ISP) in most cases they do not care about you, how much blood or sweat they put you through or how much money they cost you because of their tech screw up. Tell em to shove it and your not paying the bill they don't care, they just send it off to a bill collection service. As far as calling folks on the phone even cell phone they do not care how many minutes you use up while they put you on hold and in most cases its some damn call center in another state who has no idea what's going on where you live, they don't know the territory of Idaho or Utah. Fact is niether of these two states are a big enough market for them to sweat trying to get something right. Outfits like BridgeMaxx (Digital Communications) wants $350.00 from me which they might or might not get. I offered to pay them half that as their service worked only half the time. Guess twat? They put my account on suspension, I told kiss my 6 , just come get your damn antenna and I'll go with your biggest competitor. I have said it once and I'll say it again, having a telco or other service based and ran local makes a bunch of difference. The Burley,Rupert,Paul area of Idaho has an outfit called PMT(Project Mutual Telephone) its a telco that is more of an old farmers co-op that is based in the area, ran by folks in the area, with owners and a board of directors that live in the area, not someplace in Tim-Buck-Two. Okay but it was nice to tell BridgeMaxx to kiss my six. Oky then, there are folks who do not always buy what I tell em, been trying to woo someone locally here to work as my associate producer, who thought I was only paddling with half an oar. Until today when I showed em I did in fact have a TV show on the air. Now their attitude is much different. There are folks who act like donkeys then ones who have the attitude like a mules ass.
