Things that suck: A comedy conversation

1. Homewood Suites in Memphis, TN. Trust me on this one.
2. HP "customer service" where the solution is to "upgrade" you to a newer printer at full cost and they want your old printer. Right.
Dish Network Customer "service" - spent hours and hours over three months to convince them that I was no longer a customer and hadn't been for over a year. Plus, I no longer lived at the location where I used to have service.
Eventually had to fax them a copy of the form that showed I had paid off and canceled the account.
My aunt had similar troubles trying to cancel her electric service when she sold her house. The bill was in her deceased husband's name. They wouldn't let her cancel her service - he had to.
When she payed her final bill, she wrote "final payment" on the check. They wouldn't cash it & sent it back. She said "Frost it" and hasn't tried to pay again, since it's really only her dead husband's credit that's getting ruined by the non-payment. Heh
Emerson spammers who think that just because they put a link or poorly worded ad on a COMEDY website that they'll sell a Shakespeareload of whatever it is that they are selling.
The economy. Actually I'd be fine with the economy sucking if I wasn't one of The Unemployed because it's making Shakespeare cheaper, but as it stands the economy sucks in a bad way. And my student loans go into repayment in two weeks.
You should consider live-in nannying. Kids love crafting and tv watching. You also wouldn't let them get away with any bullShakespeare, so they'd grow up well-mannered and respectful.
A device designed specifically to chop apart particularly thick or tough bits of empty space so that they can be used separately. I think they're used in hyperdrives, stasis chambers, and those coffee grinders at the supermarket.
You wouldn't like Millie Poppins when she's angry.
Meh, I babysit for my brother's five kids all the time. When my sister's three kids were younger, I also babysat. I am the favorite aunt because I let them do anything, as long as they leave me alone.
I've had a chronic health problem for many years, so I'm tired all the time. The advantage to this is nothing really bothers me because I'm too tired and lazy to care. So the kids can be running around screaming and I just ignore it.
Once when I was babysitting for my brother's kids (who are home-schooled and not allowed to watch TV) the twin boys had a game where they were "sawing my legs off and blood is gushing out". I have no idea where they got the idea for this game. But I think in ten or fifteen years, all the world will know about the twin serial killers.
Anyway--back on the subject. Halloween sucks. I know I will get only about five kids, but I still feel the obligation to buy candy. I can never decide what type to buy, so I end up with about five bags. And I end up eating most of it, even though any trick-or-treaters will get a huge handful from me.
I can't argue with that, Whistler. My boobs are double-Ds now--at least.
At least I only bought two small bags of candy--Baby Ruths and Reeses. And I ended up having two really large groups and four or five small groups. I felt bad for the last kid, who was alone with his mother (who was standing at the edge of the street smoking). It had started raining by the time he got to my house. I should have just given him the rest of the candy but I live in fear that a child will show up and go without.
I only have a couple of pieces of candy left, anyway.
