Meh - the roads I'm talking about have neighborhoods on both sides. Left turn or right turn and you're in a neighborhood. Of course, that brings up the question of why aren't they riding in those streets? I don't know the answer to that. Maybe because the city is planned out so the neighborhood streets aren't cut-throughs for cars. There is no straight side-street that goes from point A to point B. You need to go down this road, turn left, go to the next road, go left again, then an immediate right, etc. Maybe that's too dangerous for them because they keep having near misses with cars when they blow through stop signs?

Yeah, if you are familiar with the crooked, tiny roads of the northeast. That is what I am talking about. There is barely enough room for the two cars and these Wily Coyote Genius motherfuckers want to admire the breathtaking scenery whilst my passenger side mirror is breathtakingly close to their fucking heads.

And what is with the 300lb-ers in spandex? They shaving off an extra 1/10th of a second or something? They can barely move the fucking thing.

Wear a pair of baggy shorts and a t-shirt you fat fucks

Kaspersky customer support chat. I am "customer"

Customer Chat
Chat Transcript
We will be with you in just a moment.
Hello, welcome to Kaspersky Chat. Please briefly describe your goal or question and I will connect you with the best resource to answer your questions.
Customer: Have a question about product
Warda Qureshi: To ensure I get you the proper support, please confirm which sounds most like your situation:
1) You have already purchased our product and want to ensure it will give you the functionality you are looking for?
2) You haven't made a purchase yet and want to ensure you fully understand the products functionality before purchasing?
Customer: I have the product installed and am fine with it. I want to know if you have a product that would cover 3 Windows laptops, 1 MAC and 4 iphones
Customer: Like a site license or something similar
Warda Qureshi: Thank-you for your question. Let me get a product specialist to join our chat, they can answer detailed questions about our products. Would this be helpful?
Customer: Sure
Warda Qureshi: Thank you. I will invite the product specialist into our chat, it may take a few minutes for them to join us and review our conversation. I may have to drop out of the chat to assist other customers, so please keep the chat window open to maintain your priority sequence.

Warda Qureshi has left the session.
Please wait while we find an agent from the sales department to assist you.
All agents are currently busy. Please stand by.
Hi. My name is Marcia Miller. Please give me one moment while I review the information you have already entered into the chat.
Marcia Miller: Most of our customers prefer assistance over the phone. If you like I can call you to answer any questions you may have and process your order for you. Would you like me to call you?
Customer: Nah. I just have a simple question. I see yoiu have a "multi-device" product. Can that go to 8 devices? I have a 3 Windows laptops, 1 Macbook and 4 iphones
Marcia Miller: Ok, We can continue over chat. I am currently assisting another customer and would like to provide my complete attention to you. Do you mind holding in the chat for me for approximately 15-20 minutes?

Marcia Miller: One moment please!


Jesus H. Christ. It's just a simple question.

I don't know that this is someone I want to punch, but it is a pet peeve of mine:
I'm waiting at a traffic light. I want to go straight. Someone from my right pulls to the intersection wanting to turn right. It must be a red light for him, because he stops. But just as the light turns green for me, and I start to go, he turns right on red to get in front of me. Now I need to slow back down to let this jerk get in. If turning onto a road makes everyone else slow down, you turned at the wrong time. (I know - exceptions are ok if it's busier and who knows if you'd ever get to pull out if you have to wait for a large enough break in the traffic.)

Oh - here's another one:
My wife used to take the train downtown for work. (Cleveland's "rapid".) She'd be sitting there waiting for the train, and just as it pulls up to let people on, someone would cut in front of her. And she's waiting RIGHT THERE. Not back 10 feet - she's RIGHT THERE. It didn't matter if she was 8 months pregnant, either.

So I'm trying to connect power at our new place ASAP, and found out yesterday that we can only have a 14 day overlap of service with the two addresses unless we pay a $155 "deposit" (pretty sure it's just a fee, no mention of it being applied to your first bill or being returned, just that you have to pay $155 if you want more than that 14 day overlap). Fine, whatever, I'll wait until Monday to have it connected and we should be done cleaning by the 3rd (lease is officially up on the 6th). I put in Monday's date for the connection date and it tells me to choose a non-holiday weekday...huh? So I open up iCal, and nope, Earth day is Wednesday, nothing listed on Monday, so maybe I typed it in wrong. Turns out, there is a "holiday" on Monday...Patriots Day. Who the heck observes Patriots Day? I vaguely remember hearing it as a "holiday," but I've never come across a business that "observes" it, not even banks down here "observe" it, and they'll observe anything. My wife tells me it's a "major holiday" in New England so I see if maybe our power company has a service area in NE, nope! So now I have to wait another day and move/put stuff away without A/C during the day (can't do things at night, no lights).

Seriously, observing a holiday that can't make it on a software calendar that has Earth Day marked, and you don't serve the one area of the country that treats it as a "major" holiday? So annoying.

These are great examples of people who think they are more important and deserving and that their time is more valuable than yours....bastages

Now the utility company we have to use for water has really pissed me off. They have a low budget, crappy website to start with, but at least it's functional and you can find information with a bit of trouble. Well, the little bit of information they actually put on their website. I filled out the online application to turn on water for the new place, and this is what it says at the bottom of the page.

Requirement: To begin service, please fax a copy of your Lease or Purchase Agreement, You may also bring these items to our main office at 1701 W. Carroll St. in Kissimmee, prior to the requested service start date. For same day service there is an additional $50 added to the regular initiation fee.

Ok, fine, I'll drive out to the office and show them the lease agreement and pay the initiation fee. Easy, right? Wrong. I get there and the lady asks for my drivers license...and to verify my wife's ID and SSN, who is at home getting ready for work. Annoying, but a picture of her ID and SSN will do, so she texts me a picture. I'm a little annoyed, but whatever. It turns out, I'm not quite done. Not only do they need to see the lease, but they also need the property management agreement between the owner and the management group! Ummm...it may be just a little helpful to mention that on your fucking website, and especially on the online application! So first I give the lady the office number of the group hoping that someone picks up (in 5 times calling that number before we finally got to view the property, someone picked up once), because I don't really want to give out the agent's number. Well, she got the answering machine, so I grudgingly gave her the direct number for the agent. The conversation was short, and didn't sound like he was too happy. Great, I may have just pissed the property manager off trying to get water turned on because you dumbasses couldn't bother to tell people what all they would need to finish the application process and start service.

Now I'm hoping the agent manages to fax over the management agreement today (don't want to call him right now) so we can have water at the new place by the end of this week. Thank goodness trash is part of the HOA, because at this rate, I'd have yet another bad run-in with Waste Management as well!
