Last I checked 36 hours is a day and a half.

We all have a local utility that everyone thinks is “the worst.” In my neck of the woods, Comcast (kabletown, to you 30 Rock fans) doesn’t win many popularity contests.

Waiting 1.5 days to be contacted about cable hookup is annoying, sure. But Stewart “lost the will to live” over it? I maintain that his response when contacted by TWC was classic passive-aggressive d-bag.

Maybe not immediately, but certainly at least a reasonable response time from the company. Three days is hardly fast service, no matter what company or customer you are.

If they treat everyone the same, then everyone should expect crappy service, huh? I remember waiting a week for someone from AT&T to come and help with our internet problems. Stewart didn’t act like an entitled jerk, he acted like anyone else in an annoying situation with, ahem, “customer service.”

He should walk to the nearest Chinese restaurant, order chicken, and say, “Make it Tso.”

Clearly you’ve never had to deal with Time Warner Cable. They’re second only to AT&T in the “fuck customers/we hate money” sweepstakes.

Oh, Sir Patrick, the DRAMA! A day and a half without television.

I get the frustration bit, we all get impatient. But what lowers his stature is acting like a complete ninny once the cable company does get in touch with him. “We’ll, if you’d hooked me up IMMEDIATELY… But since you didn’t, now I just want to $¥£#% and spew it over the Internet!”

I love how the banner ad on the right side of this page is for Time Warner Cable with the tagline “Enjoy Better”… LOL In all fairness I have TWC in Ohio and have never had any issues… But this ‘article’ describes nothing of the issues Sir Patrick had, what went on for ’36 hours’ or any other relevant details other than letting us know that he had some sort of customer service ‘issue’… Details… details.. DETAILS!

Goodness, if that’s how they treat a celebrity…

TWC certainly gives customer service a negative description these days.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of people having problems with Time Warner Cable. As a subscriber to Anime Network, I generally hear complaints from fellow AN subscribers who have TWC as their provider every week.
