Again today, inaccessibility of a giant company ruined the first half of my day. Do any of you manage to cope peacefully with cyber and phone abuse? I realize this is a "small" issue, but it badly riles me all up!!!! I compare my life to people are living with wars, genocides, serious diseases.....I feel so inadequate that this cyber and phone abuse p.o.'s me so bad. I live like a queen in my small apartment, with cats, a good woman friend, and a boyfriend who treats me very well. But I get mad because these "behaviors" of company-run machines, is so stupid and unjust. They have no "right" to treat people this way but YES they do have the "right" because then CAN. As one older friend told me, "In my day, if a company treated you badly, you just stopped buying there, and they went out of business." "Not anymore!" I said, and he repeated, "Not anymore!" Today it was the phone company. Their customer service is CLOSED ON WEEKENDS. "Everbody else," i.e. businesses, are open on weekends!!!!! I decided immediately to change phone companies, so I called the other 3 other giant telecoms. They were even worse! I could not call or email them because they wanted to know the telephone number I had WITH THEIR COMPANY. Since I only want ed to inquire about opening an account with their company -- they were INACCESSIBLE. I -- and everyone else -- do not like to be treated badly by another person. With a person, one can negotiate, solve the miscommunication, change jobs, drop the person or divorce them. I can't divorce the telephone company!!! If I yell at "them" it's some dear and underpaid employee, not the smug CEO with his astronomical salary. So I don't even have the release of yelling at a person who responsible for their ugly and abusive policies.
