I received a letter for a client from the IRS. I called the IRS to deal with the problem. Why did it take a 20 minute wait to reach an agent? I put my phone on speaker until someone came on the line. I had to deal with the problem and I wanted to get it out of the way.
When I finally did get a real person I got transferred over and over because no one knew how to deal with the problem. The total time was over 45 minutes and the final agent was a supervisor who really wasn't sure what to tell me either. We came up with hopefully the right answer to respond to the letter.

Why am I getting such frequent mailings from Direct TV and AT&T U-verse ... and why does my Comcast cable bill keep going up?
I have a similar issue however I keep getting frequent mailings from Comcast and AT&T U-verse, trying to get me to change over to them, and constant emails from DirectV reminding me that Because of my 15 years of service I'm getting a $5 reduction for 10 months. I think I have been reminded at least 20 times plus 2 customer surveys about how great directV is. I switched to U-verse internet a few months back thinking I will eventually go to U-verse for both internet and TV. Because of the problems I have had with ATT customer service I will probably just stay with Directv. When I call them at least I can talk to a real person with 10-15 minutes. With ATT&T when you do get to a real person they can't help you because thats a different department. Trouble is you never get the right one. RANT:mad:
This is kinda like the phone question...but why do people text back and forth so much? Why don't they ever just call? There has been people who I've texted back and forth all day long-and we never talk on the phone-just texting all day lol. I don't get it? I know I do it too though...guess maybe it's easier cause you can actually pause a moment and think about what you're gonna say back...
That's easy - although I am not a texter - you can text silently, so no one around you can overhear like they can with a phone call. Same thing with emails - not only can I email more quietly than a phone call, I can send an email while someone is asleep or away, and know it will be seen when they are ready to see it.
My cell phone plan doesn't even include texting, I never got in the habit.
Why, or how come as the thread topic states, can I do all of my laundry and hang everything up. Then the next time I wash and dry clothes I don't have enough clothes hangers? It seems to happen every time!
Yeah, well today, while at the grocery store (a large chain), I suddenly had an "ooh, ooh" moment and made a mad dash to the ladies loo. Spotless, smelled good, ran into the first stall, and lo and behold! no toilet tissue. Yikes!
So how come when it's an emergency, there's never any of the important stuff??? :mad:
You said it was spotless and smelled good, isn't having paper asking a little to much. Two out of three isnt bad.:DQuote:

They used all the TP to clean the place :)
My personal favorite product warning is a tie between har dryers and curling irons. the curling iron states "do NOT insert into any orifice" uh... OUCH?
and the blow dryer states "do not use while sleeping" hmmm that seems a rather ineffective way to do ones hair. Imagine what it would look like after it's dried like that? do people really DO these things? lol
How come the bird seed that I buy for my budgies smells like a bowling alley?
Every warning that ends up on products is because someone tried to do what they are warning against.Quote:

Years ago my wife was using her lady Schick razor that she had plugged into the power receptacle that was on the bath room light fixture over the mirror. She was very short so she had used a chair to plug in the razor. After shaving she had to unplug the razor so she pulls up the chair. She had unplug the razor from the cord so she had the razor in one hand and the cord in the other. While standing in the chair she realizes that she doesn't have a free hand to unplug the cord from the receptacle. What do you think she did with the cord. Right, she put it in her mouth. From the next room I hear this blood curding scream. When I arrived she was flat in the floor laying there with her tongue out and her hand clasp on it's tip. It wasn't enough that she put the cord end in her mouth, she had to fondle it with her tongue.:rolleyes::D
