So I am sitting here this afternoon, wife is making dinner(finally no turkey) and the phone rings, normally I won't answer, but for some stupid reason I did! So this young chipper sounding gal is calling to tell me, they have a great special on having cable TV installed at our home! I proceed to let her know, no you don't, they have told me numerous times, they will never run cable to my location, the closest house to us with cable is over 5 miles away and I thank her for the call..
Well, she wants to continue trying, she states based on your address, we indeed can install cable in your home, the install will be free and the price will be 1/2 off for the first year, in addition, we will give you free voice phone for how ever long.!
I continue to let her know, believe me, I have lived here over 20 years now, you won't install cable in my home! She continues to say yes we will.
So finally I am getting tired of this conversation as my wife is listening in the background and laughing a certain part of her body off with tears in her eyes! So finally I ask, what address she has on file, she proceeds to read off the address and I sit here shaking my head, it is an old address we have not had for 15 years, which is a small box address we had at a UPS store for a while, I asked her if they charge extra at the UPS store so I can run down every once in a while to watch a race or a tennis match....Phone goes dead for a moment then she asks me, what I am talking about. I explain to her, it is going to be difficult to install a cable run into a 4 x 6 inch box that is located 19 miles from my actual home.
All of this transpired over about a 30 minute period of my life wasted, but for some reason I could not let it go!
