installed a cable modem for this couple today. they wanted me to set it up in their bedroom so as i was in there setting up their wireless network and trying to get my browser on, they come flying in there and roll around on the bed making out and shit while i’m right there. so i get up and leave the room and the woman says, where you going? don’t mind us!
umm…. awkward!!
eventually they cooled off and i ended up talking to the guy about south park episodes for half an hour while i waited on hold to activate a receiver. yay for hold! ugh.
one of the “benefits” of working where i do is that there are a heaping shitload of retirement homes. they’re always really annoying because every single time you need something from your truck, you gotta buzz back in or wait for some old codger to slide his walker, baby steps to the door to let you in. not only that but all they want to do is talk your ear off. “you look like my son!”, “you’re too young for this line of work!”, “no one comes to visit me here!” and my absolute favorite “sorry, i was in the bathroom, i’m old, old people spend a lot of time in the bathroom”… thanks for the visual grandpa, and i don’t care about your ‘progrimms’ or golf and i certainly don’t have time to program your massively over-sized universal remote that you bought in skymall.
i had this old guy with one of those jefferson’s hats on today that wouldn’t shut up about how his wife worked at a hospital and how his kids were grown. but the absolute worst is when they talk about how their spouse’s of 60 years just passed away and now they’re all alone. they loosely throw around the phrase: i was supposed to die first!. i know you’re having a rough time, but now i’m thoroughly depressed. ugh. don’t get me wrong, i like old people, but i guess i feel the same way about kids. i only like my old people.
oh yeah, and they always smell like moth balls.
first of all i’d like to shout out to all the other cable guys and girls out there and have you know that you’re respected by at least one guy. i just spent the last hour trying to remember my wordpress password since i haven’t touched this site in forever so i don’t have any stories for ya today but i’m going to try and post all the crazy shit that happens as often as i can. cable guys, you know what i’m talking about. anyway, keep your stripper blades sharp and don’t lose your toner or you’re fucked. more later…
