What a bitch!
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Tuesday Nov 8, 2005I got my bill for our satellite today. We stopped getting cable several months ago when they stopped servicing our area. Currently there isnt a cable company that services where I live. I think I need to move to a town thats on the freaking map.. 
Anyhow. I got the bill today and the damn thing is 173$. My eyes popped out of my head! Normally it runs me about 45$. Okay granted this bill was for 2 months due to the hurricane but 173$ is WAYYYYYYYYY more than 45 a month. I called and turns out.. They added a bunch of porn channels to my line of programs I get. They claim I ORDERED THEM! I’m the ONLY One who has access to order programs and I damn sure didnt order them! I have 3 kids who are 6 and under. That is the LAST thing I need them having access too. But what really pisses me off.. Is that they charged me 10$ to remove them! What a rip off.. The lady told me that because it was an adult channel it was 10$.. I told her that would be fine had I ordered the (insert really ugly words here).. I’m far from prudish. Porn doesnt bother me.. BUT my tv doesnt need porn cranking out at any time of day and rather than block the channels from appearing.. I just dont have those channels so that my kids cant see them by mistake. Not to mention I dont need 50$ extra dollars a month worth of porn on my tv. My bill was close to 100$ extra because it was charging me 100$ for 2 months of porn! unbelievable! They are making a killing off of porn! And for what? There is no story line its tasteless crap that isnt even filmed well.. if I want to watch porn its going to be something that has taste, class, and cost more than 500$ to make! And yeah some porn can be..only then you dont call it porn do you..LOL..
ahh and to top my day off.. My husband shaved his mustache and goatee.. Talk about throw me for a loop.. Not a good thing.. NOT a good thing.. Its only the second time in almost 8 years he has ever shaved it..and ICK.. I do NOT like it! I hate it.. it looks horrible.. Or maybe im just not use to it.. Its just tooooooooooooooooo weird!
I have had many days like this. If you didn’t get the results you wanted the first time then you need to call back and ask for a supervisor… usually will get you the results you want.
My old man will cut off his beard and it always throws me off. Not that I liked it to begin with…
Hugsssssss
Hi Ivy,
Yeah, I hear you. My post title today is “Coming or Going?” I don’t know which it is sometimes.
I do like to walk the beach at sunset when their aren’t many people there. Maybe it’s the heat and crowds you don’t like. It’s cooler in the evening too. The ocean keeps me sane. I grew up right next to it but am not near one now.
My wife hates it when I shave my head bald. But I kinda like it. Makes me feel more virulent.
hey ivy, Oh my god i wouldn’t have taken the porn thing as calmly as you did and for sure would haven’t accepted the $10 to take it off your channels. That’s the problem with some of these services - there is no service!
Anyhow hope your day improves!
you will prolly get used to him being clean shaven soon…:-) *HUGS* hope you have a better day ahead!
Oh,I would be so aggravated at that at that bill. There’s always a way for people to hack into a system or for computers to actually make a mistake.
The upside on the shaving is that your face won’t itch or break out?
