Not really. The world championship is decided within an hour after the opening ceremony. That's the time when the first drunks are rushed to a hospital with alcohol poisoning. If he (hopefully) does not play in that league, he does not need to feel bad and can simply enjoy a good beer at home.

Too late - even during that Nanna nap the pods had time to take over.

Don't make a habit of it. I once had a job where everybody suffered from that more or less and it has really ugly consequences.

It reminds me of the line. 'I had salad for lunch. It was a fruit salad. It had grapes in it. Only grapes. The grapes had been squashed. And fermented. Okay, I had wine for lunch.'

I have griped about this bunch before so forgive me. This time, though, I've had enough. Once a year I go through this complicated dance where they offer to raise the price of the service and I have to talk to someone for at least 30 minutes to get it back to reasonable.
This time, however, they simply refused to budge. What was $108 a month for TV, phone and internet about 18 months ago has now jumped to over $160 a month.
No warning, no letter to tell me how much of a favor they are doing me by raising the prices.
And they had the cheek to tell me that the deal I had as a valued customer had run out. So I'm not a valued customer anymore???
So that's it for me - I shall retain the internet service and stream whatever I want to watch - save me over $100 a month and virtually all the TV I want to watch is free anyway.
I simply don't understand the thinking of a business that believes it can simply hike the price and everyone will just pay. Elephant you, TWC.

Sounds like they're twinned with Virgin in the UK. Stinking rob-dogs, the lot of 'em.
I'll be cancelling my TV at the weekend after yet another inflation-busting price rise.

I believe your rant tags are misplaced. This means your complain is invalid. Please reformat your rant to comply with accepted standards, and we'll re-evaluate it.

Will that improve his "valued customer" status?

Probably not, but that's no excuse for not following protocol. Without rules, we're just animals.

I feel your pain. The quoted me $90, and charged me $190.
The CS rep acted shocked and said he could do better. By the time I was done correcting him on all the service charges it was at about the same place.
There is a nice, warm place waiting for those guys.

I truly despise these people. The service reps are clearly taught how to wear you down and soften you up. It's disgusting that they treat existing customers with such utter disdain and disrespect.
Whilst I have to keep the internet service (I grudgingly admit that the TWC internet service is excellent) the TV and phone will be history when I take all the kit back tomorrow after work.
The trouble is that they have not simply failed to grasp the new reality in which we can access content, they are blinkered to a system that attempts to extract as much cash form their customers as possible.
I cannot believe that I will be the only person leaving them because of the latest round of increases.

I pay 37€/month for TV, phone and internet.

They need the extra money to pay off the executives who were de-employed during the takeover by Charter.
I dropped the phone and TV two months ago, so my bill is down to $70.
