She felt the ticket was unfairly given as she proved the meter was broken. The officer didn't care and gave her the ticket. In the "note" section of her check she wrote "Fuck You!". The judge sent her a letter asking her to appear before him to explain her rage. I asked her if she planned to express her "rage" verbally in court. She called me a smartass. Which I am.

They returned it to me saying that they did not accept emails with profane language. I would guess that Cox is even more sensitive in this regard. I once used the word “suck” in an email to SBC.

It seems, to me, that you do indeed suck it and need someone to come in there and crack some heads. This happens to be one of my specialities. I am sure there are other operational efficiencies that can be wrought from your seriously flawed infrastructure. My resume is on monster.com. I am thinking of a number, six numbers actually.

We switched to Cable-based phone 3 weeks ago - we've lost service 4 times since then (although not for that long a period of time). I'm beginning to think that AT&T isn't looking that bad (gasp...did I just say that). Holy crap – it’s not just us!

I don't know how any company -- especially one that you're at the mercy of -- can provide such horrific customer service. Oh yeah, I guess it's because you're at their mercy and they know it. Good luck with that diarrhea curse. They deserve it. That really bites. I don’t know how any company — especially one that you’re at the mercy of — can provide such horrific customer service.
