Ah, an opportunity to bash Comcast!

My last day living in Maine was 12/31/13. The last thing on my agenda prior to leaving for the long drive to Pennsylvania was to drop off my cable boxes at the local Comcast office. I knew from previous experience that the office was open until 5PM. Arriving at 3:30PM, I was dismayed to see a sign on the door which read “We are closed early for New Year’s Eve”. I called the toll free number and explained to a nice woman my dilemma. Understanding that this was my last day in Maine and my needing to turn in the boxes, she said she would send me two postage-paid boxes to my PA address and I could return them that way. I left feeling good about Comcast and thought nothing more about it…until a couple of months later when I still had not received the postage-paid boxes, but instead received a bill for the yet-to-be-returned equipment. I once again dialed the toll free number and explained to the rep what had happened. He told me that he saw no notes on the file stating postage-paid boxes were to be sent and that it would not have been an option anyway. After a moment of stunned silence, I asked if I could simply turn them in here in PA. Nope – they had to go to Maine. Fortunately for me, I had to return there anyway as the house was not sold yet and I had to go back up and get more of my stuff.

Comcast bites…hard.

On the news this morning, there was a story in which a severed head wrapped in a plastic bag was found in the woods behind a house. The news anchor went on to say that it was found in an area where other body parts were recently discovered. I nearly spit out my coffee when he said “authorities are examining the body parts to see (wait for it) if they are connected”.
