I hate when I go into a subs home for a cable repair, ask the sub if there are any splitters that they know about and they say no. Start tracing the lines and find a four way feeding four three ways and they always say: "I had no idea that was there". Or they are using a four way as an F81 and they ask how that could cause the TV to be fuzzy?

I was on a pole early one morning when a lady came out to have a smoke. When she saw me she panicked and put out her cigarette in a hurry. At first I thought it was due to the fact her hair was in rollers and she was wearing a robe. Then she starts hollering and asking if she needed to evacuate. Now I'm confused and I made the mistake of asking..."Ma'am? Evacuate?" Then she proceeds to tell me how gas is heavier than air and how my company should have notified the neighborhood before working on the gas lines! I almost gaffed out.

Nice Dave! That gave me a good laugh. We've all come across stupid or ignorant customers, but if this were a contest I believe you may have found our grand prize winner.

Heille toé! You have you something against the Québecois? Not expect that I disembarked with my gang of lumberjacks at flèchées belt because you'll get pick up by anything to little close!
So I took it as a challenge and tried.

Dude, seriously - fudge Cindy Crosby. What a little bitch.
Here's my video response to your video response. As you've indicated, you're possibly a fan of rap, so you might already be able to follow what's going on...but for the less informed, well here it is:

I'm sure anyone who has been in any residential customer's homes have heard this
"Don't mind the mess, we are just moving in."
Sure you are just moving in, it looks like a episode of "Hoarders" in here. There is mail from the 70's and food from last year stacked up in your living room. No I don't mind the dog crap stuck on your carpet and the cat piss smell.

I found this on another forum the caption said "The Remote is in there some where"
I think this is what you are talking about

Well most of these are what Prem Techs hate to hear but some phone vets will get 'em.
"Well we did a little remodeling and..."
"Do you really have to get in the attic?" That is never a good sign when the customer even knows their attic sucks.
"Just start doing what you need to do. I'll be there in about 20 minutes" ppfffftttttttt yeah right!
And of course the PT's worst nightmare
"Ohh the sales guy said you would run brand new lines all for free"
