Deceptive advertising.

Fios, I'm looking at you.

Having a special promo price for the triple package of $80 doesn't count as a saving over the regular $95 package when you no longer include the DVR set top box and then charge $15 a month extra for it.

Fknuckles....because it's awesome having a HD tv package and no set top box to watch it with you lemonheadedknobcheeseagedoldsmegshit.

Still, we made the switch, they come next Monday.

Comcast, you were just far to shit to even comprehend....disabling our online account when we moved into this place without telling us but expecting us to resign up a new online account, so that last months billed didn't infact actually get paid, despite logging into the account to do it.

Would have been nice to have been told about it...or at the very least to have called rather than cut us off this morning.

You really are beyond an aborted fetus of a mess.

online job applications, who the hell designs those things! They are near impossible to complete if you were educated/worked abroad.

Do you really need an education to stack shelves, or be a dinnerlady? :sneaky:

They aren't a walk in the park even if you weren't educated abroad. :thumbdown:

My least favorite- the online psych test. Deosn't replace an interview. :thumbdown::thumbdown:

How you can't seem to karma anyone at the bottom of a page on BE anymore, because of the bloody stupid wanky banner ad that gets in the way of the comment box. :thumbdown:

You got the wrong end of the stick. She means that overseas education can be inferior and not prepare you for the problems of online forms filling. :sneaky:

It's great when they are done by a third party, but you can't just have a generic log in, but have to create a new profile for each application :D

At least you can use multiple choice, rather than spelling. ;)

How did it feel, to experience my greatness for such a fleeting moment?
