Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart and got a Linksys router. It came with idiot proof software, or so I thought. I got it working and it was working for a couple hours. I did the set-up with my laptop. When Matt tried to get online on his laptop it shit out.
So I called Linksys and talked to another lady. I don't know if she was Arabic but her first language certainly was not English. Basically she told me this one was junk too and I should by one directly from the company. So that's what I did. It should be here in 5 days or so. The knocked $10 off the price and threw in free shipping.
Talking to
You know what makes me the maddest? When it's obviously an Arabic person and they tell me their name is Paul/Mike/Bob or something else. Don't lie to me, I'm not that stupid.
I just want our internet to be wireless again.
Oh and I'm linking up with Mimi for F-Bomb Friday because she is awesome.

LOL! I think that's hilarious when they pick an American name. I used to work with a bunch of programmers all around the world. I would always laugh when they told me their American names and say, "no, there is no way, that's not your name!" Then I would spend the next 6 months learning how to pronounce their real name and secretly cursing myself for not just going along with the game.
That is so frustrating! I HATE calling customer service places and getting someone I cant freaking understand!
I hate calling any customer service on the phone period!! How annoying. Hope the new one is perfect.
Hahahaa that's so funny that you said that about their names. It's so true, you know that is really not their name! Sorry you had so much trouble with all that! =(
by the way thanks for the advice and support you left on my blog. I really appreciate it <3
Nope, the are ALWAYS always from the middle east.
Makes me think of Apu from the Simpsons.
Thank you. Come again.
Oh I hate when they say a generic name and it's obvious that it's not their name! I hope the new router works!
I think we might be getting to that point - companies that may charge a little more for products, but guarantee American support (I think there's definitely a market for it).
I hope the new router works for you.
I hate when I can't understand the tech people. I usually have to go, "Excuse me?" again and again.
