Money and Miscellaneous: The cable guy

The cable guy

By fmerunning - 29/06/2009 00:44 - United States

Today, the cable repairman came to fix my cable, which has never worked well. The entire time he was talking about how much extra money he got the "fat bitch who moved here 6 months ago" to pay for her cable. I moved in 6 months ago. I was pregnant. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I called my wife to tell her I finally found a job after 6 months. A man answered the phone claiming to be the cable guy. We cut our cable off when I was laid off 6 months ago. FML

Today, my landlord informed me that after 8 months, we are finally getting cable and internet in our house. I move out tomorrow. FML

Today, my husband surprised me by cooking a romantic dinner. I asked him why the sudden gesture. His response? "The cable was out." FML

Today, I had to admit to everyone, including my cable guy, that I'm moving back in with my parents. FML

Today, I got a call from my cable company in regards to a bill I didn't pay. I paid the bill two weeks ago in full, but they never told me the account changed when my name was put on the account. So now I owe $170 more, and my ex-roommate is getting a $140 refund in the mail. FML

Today, cable was installed at my house and the cable guy smelled like some horrid mix of cabbage and cheese. I'm pregnant and suffering from morning sickness. I've sprayed air freshener, lit candles, and opened windows despite the cold outside. I can't get rid of the smell. FML

Today, I woke up late for work, and got sick at work twice; when I got home I discovered I'd paid my cable bill late when I got cut off. When my girlfriend came over, the first thing she said was "Do you know about the graffiti on your car?" FML

Today, my husband cancelled our internet and cable package because we’re having money problems. I work from home and need the internet to do so. I guess getting a job of his own wasn’t an option. FML

Today, I was calling my cable company to tell me how to fix my internet. I stayed on hold for almost half an hour, and then when someone finally picked up, my phone died. FML

New creepypasta just dropped

By oh_mylanta - 02/03/2009 09:10 - United States

Today, I went to work to find my creepy boss sitting in my office. I work the night shift, so it was very unusual to find him there. I asked how he was, and he replied, "I told my wife about us; she kicked me out." I've been working there a month. Also, I'm married and pregnant. So, excuse me, "US?" FML

I hate guys who call pregnant women fat. They're just disrespectful and obviously stupid.

To sound like a broken record here, definitely report him. If some sort of serviceman came to my house and spoke like that, even if it wasn't about me, I wouldn't be too pleased.

Sorry, the comments got all out of wack. The post that was intended to reply to is no longer existant.

I was going to say the same thing! Speaking like that in front of a stranger, especially while you're working, is beyond offensive. Not to mention the sheer stupidity of telling a customer that you overcharge people.

she moved in 6 months ago. for those 6 months, she was pregnant. it takes 9 months for a baby to be born. with the vague details given, its hard to know if she was 9 months pregnant or not. all we know is that she was in the house for 6 months, and during those 6 months she was pregnant. what happened to the other 3 months?
