Tell Me Why

Why is it that every time I try to do any online banking, something goes wrong?

Why is it that when I call, I have to be on hold "for an expected wait time of 6 minutes"?

Why is it that as soon as I have to hold, I also have to pee?

Why did my expected wait time just jump to "greater than 10 minutes"?

Greater than ten minutes seems a little nebulous. You’re still holding aren’t you?

i blame mark taylor. according to the commercial i just saw, he seems to be responsible for everything else going bad in georgia.

Because the Internets hate you. We’ve established this. Stop asking stupid questions.

Hang up, then call back six minutes later.

C – I was. Then passed the phone to the boy while I ran to pee.

D – I know the internets hate me, but my bank, too?

I opened a bank account at another bank this morning. I am done with them.

You should call from the toilet next time.

Yeah, but that whole ‘balancing the laptop on my knees while I pee’ thing wasn’t going to work.

Comment by mingaling

I love taking the laptop with me to the can while I poo. Sometimes, I’ll make a sandwich and bring a Diet Coke, too.

For the record, I’m not kidding. I seriously do this.

Why does this not surprise me?

Because I rule.

are you sure you didn’t call comcast? Oh, if you did, you would have to add, “why is it that they can’t help me?” and “why is it that they won’t solve my problem?”, and worst, “why is it that they don’t give a shit?”

Sorry you have problems with services too! UGH!
