Little Old Lady Hammers Comcast
WheezyJoe writes "The Washington Post reports that a little old lady took a hammer to Comcast.
Apparently fed up with the lousy service she received from a botched Comcast installation of "triple-play", and a completely humiliating experience at a customer service center, 75-year-old Mona "The Hammer" Shaw took her claw hammer back to the customer service center and bludgeoned the office equipment into tiny plastic pieces."
Damn.
I can't figure out whether I want to go out and smash office equipment with a hammer, or I want this woman to come in and smash my office equipment with a hammer.
Which end of this fight is the right end? I CAN'T DECIDE!!

There's an old joke:
Two guys are out camping... Suddenly they hear the sounds of a tiger outside their tent.
The two guys look at each other.
One man starts putting his running shoes on.
Despite the situation, his friend starts chuckling at him. "What are you thinking? You can't outrun a tiger!"
The man looks back at his friend and says, "I don't have to outrun... the tiger."

Like you say. Comcast doesn't have to be the best. They just have to outrace Direct TV and Dish Network.
"Flag on the moon. How did it get there?"
Comcast's miserable but completely irresitable

Late nights all alone with the boob tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Mona shaw is getting really raw
and calls them on the phone
"can you fix my cable you
I-dee-ots?"
But she's getting nowhere
so she takes her hammer there...
Bang, bang, Mona's old claw hammer
Came down upon their stuff
Bang, bang, Mona's old claw hammer
Made their office look real rough
The best part about the article is the end, when the police fine her $345 (likely less than the cost of the equipment she smashed) and gave her the hammer back. Is there a lighter slap-on-the-wrist punishment? The police must be Comcast subscribers too.
Sorry Roger, you tiger now.
How friggin dare anyone out there make fun of Comcast after all she's been through. She lost their call center is jalalabad, they went through a couple regulation issues. This lady turned out to be a user, a cheater, and now shes putting our equipment through a Hammer. All you people care about is..... readers and making money off of them. SHE'S A HUMAN! What you don't realize is that Comcast is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about her. She hasn't performed in years. Her song is called "Please hold while we process your call, this call may be monitored for quality purposes" " for a reason because all you people want is MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE. LEAVE HER ALONE! You are lucky she even performed BASTARDS! LEEEAVE COMCAST ALLLLLONE!.....Please. Perez Hilton talked about professionalism and said if Comcast was a professional she would've pulled it off no matter what. Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publically bash someone who is going through a hard time. Leave Comcast Alone Please.... Leave Comcast alone...right now....I mean it. Anyone that has a problem with her you deal with me, beacuse she is not well right now. leave her alone
