Well, they're trying to figure something out. The woman who did the charge was just incredibly inept - I had a bad feeling about the whole thing even before all the bank craziness happened.
I'm very happy with my Comcast internet - it's very fast.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can only speak for my neighbourhood, but I'm cable modem's bitch. So much faster than DSL was.
Yup. Of course, I don't have to deal with Comcast, so I have less to complain about.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it possible you want a caffeine-free diet coke, or are you off soda entirely?
No to both. CFDC tastes like ass to me. I need to go see if they have something bubbly I want to drink, other than fizzy water.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I love my cable modem connection, but I just feel like I'm getting reemed on the cost between in and my cable TV. And then accidently charging me an extra $2500 and then saying "Sorry, but we have no record of that" would just send me into a tizzy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Diet Sprite is my fave.

Diet ginger ale!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Holy shit, tommyrot! That's nuts.
I need to call Comcast and explain to them that it's not OK to charge me twice for one month's service, just because the primary name on the account changed. But in the meantime, I'm on hold with TracFone to try to switch my phone number and service from my crappy old phone to the new one. bleh. It seems so strange to me that there was once a time when you could fix things like this by actually going to an office somewhere and just talking to a live person.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Good lord, Daisy Jane. I just figured out who you are. Consider me slow.
The bar description give me away?
ETA: I have never ever been able to drink diet anything. I can almost smell the aftertaste- which is odd for a smoker.

Well yeah, I know the feeling.
And then accidently charging me an extra $2500 and then saying "Sorry, but we have no record of that" would just send me into a tizzy.
Well, I've now got several people at Comcast trying to help - it sounds like they'll be able to reverse it.... as long as they do it before I have to run to the Amtrak station.
And to be fair to them, they thought the easiest thing for me would be to cancel the charge at my bank. Except my bank can't do that until the charge goes through. Once I told Comcast that, they started putting in more effort into trying to figure something out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ginger ale, not diet! I'm going to get that right now myself.
Verizon has been jacking me with inconsistent billing recently, but I just paid when they asked--nowhere near as much error as tommyrot, so I don't have to pay anything this month, and very little next.
In annoying billing, Adelphia kept threatening to cut off my service--I hadn't realised that my account # had changed, and I was electronically paying the old account. What a hassle to change it.
Water & Power on the other hand sent me a note to the effect of "You're paying to your old account, and we'll transfer the money this one time, but please stop." Adelphia required long investigation and lots of sighing and kvetching.
