So when I called to downgrade our cable, I used Comcast’s voice mail system. It asked specific questions, and I selected the option indicating that I wished to disconnect my cable modem. I was then put into a wait queue, and spent 5 minutes there before hanging up. I then called again, except this time indicated that I was upgrading my service. I got through the wait queue in less then 1 minute. Go figure.
Also, in this past week: I have a job that requires me to go from Sam’s Club to Sam’s Club throughout the Chicagoland area. On one of my visits, I went into a Wal-Mart, which was conveniently located next to Sam’s Club. I was unable to locate the table I was looking for so I left. On the way out, I decided to use the Wal-Mart’s bathroom.
For those who are unaware or of the wrong gender, it is common in men’s bathrooms to have a row of urinals next to several stalls. Often the stalls are constructed of metal, with some kind of particleboard core. There are certain men in the world who desire to view men’s penises. As blatantly looking at penises while someone is urinating in a public restroom can be hazardous, these individuals drill holes in the wall of the adjacent stall, so they can then peer through the hole at everyone’s johnson.
Because I know this, I make it a point to check bathrooms as I use the urinal. Sure enough, in the Streamwood Wal-Mart, there are two holes drilled in the wall next to the urinal, set for optimal viewing.
Only at Wal-Mart.
