Average Jane Is Irritated

It might be spring, it might just be my mood, but this week feels like a great time for me to address things I’ve been procrastinating about. In the past few days, I’ve canceled my old cell phone, written a press release for my community service organization, renewed my magazine subscriptions, and paid all my bills.

All I had left on my list was a call to Time-Warner Cable to let them know that their cable that leads to my house has come loose from the pole and is sagging uncomfortably close to my driveway. It’s low enough that I could probably hop up and touch it.

You’d think it would be a simple matter to call them up and speak to someone. Ha! Hahaha! Instead, it’s Voicemail Hell. I went through the menu over and over, entering my phone number four or five times. Once I was given the tantalizing option of speaking to a customer service representative, but when I selected it the system swung me back into the menu loop and never offered that option again.

I finally sent an e-mail. I’m not holding my breath until I receive a reply.

    those tree phones are like the seven circles of hell (or whatever that is).

    Yeah, don’t. The only effective way I’ve found to deal with them in immediate fashion is via the LiveChat option they have on their website. You might check that out.
    Sounds like their CS line (phone) was wonky again. Happens about every 4th time I try to call them. Which is how I discovered the LiveChat function on their website.
    They never respond to emails. Took me resending a note 5 times to get them to finally respond. I had the time on that issue, so I didn’t mind seeing how many notes it took to actually get a response. If you want to try it, let me know if you get to the center in fewer licks than 5. I’d love to hear if they’ve gotten any better at responding faster…
