Stupid Customer Tip #1

I am going to start posting a series of "Stupid Customer Tips" for those of you who are subscribed to a service of some kind (phone, cable, etc) but may not be the brightest light bulbs in the box. These tips are meant to HELP you understand a little more in a straight-forward in your face kind of way. Basically, these are customer bitch slaps for the absolute DUMBEST people on the planet. If you are a dumb customer of a service provider (again, phone, cable, etc) then please heed these tips.

If you do not have power in your home, it should come as no big surprise when your cable services do not work. Electricity is an absolute NECESSITY to power your cable equipment and any other electronic devices in your home (TV, computer, etc.). This is also why if you do not have electricity, your lights do not turn on. Now, as the cable company, we do not provide or control the flow of electricity to your home. Your ELECTRIC COMPANY controls this.

So if you are in the middle of a power outage, do NOT call your cable company and bitch and moan that 10-year old Jimmy cannot watch Dora the Explorer or that you are missing your precious soap operas. You will want to call your ELECTRIC COMPANY to complain about their service not working. Jimmy should be outside playing anyway, and you shouldn't watch soap operas; they are not helping your intelligence levels.
