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

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???

You said it was spotless and smelled good, isn't having paper asking a little to much. Two out of three isnt bad.
