Sales Reps Are From Hell
Ok, if you're a sales rep and you know your stuff, this doesn't apply to you. In fact, laugh at it because most likely, you know a sales rep who fits this description. If you don't know a damn thing about what the hell you're selling over the goddamn phone, then this definitely applies to you and in fact, I hate you for it. If you're being the company phone-whore and telling your customers (and potential customers) everything they tell you to say over the phone, I hold no respect for you, you fucking robotic sorry excuse of human existance. Thank the heavens for technical support that has actual people who know their stuff to cover your asses. And the dillweeds in their department who don't know shit about what they're technically supporting (God forbid there be techs who apply to this when I call) belong to Ameritech, because their services are so bad that they've had to get a government order slapped on them by five states for them to get off their asses and do their damn job.

I was told by a sales rep at AT&T for cable modem service that they did not support Linux. This I knew as bullshit,because...why in the hell would an ISP give a shit about what operating system I'm running on? All that matters is that my OS can support the damn networking card so I can actually get online. Maybe for the initial install, they'd need me running on Winsuck, depending on how good their techs are, but other than that, I can run on any OS I want if I can get it to support the network card! Then he tries to coax me into paying another $2 a month for another IP just so I can network the two comps in my house up on the line. What utter crap!!!!! All I need to do is set up a proper LAN onto the line with a router or switch and everything's set. Fuck another IP.

January 6th, I get my cable modem. The sales rep says I should have the CD ready cause they're going to REFORMAT MY HARD DRIVE. To this I say in the great words of my best friend:

"If ANYONE came to my house and said 'ok, I'm going to format your hard drive to make this work now.' They'd have my foot rammed so far up their ass sideways on the way out my door they would never get the damn shoe out!!!" -CrazyFX

    YOU DO NOT NEED TO REFORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE TO INSTALL A GODDAMN NETWORK INTERFACE CARD. You don't need to reformat to install any hardware whatsoever!!! Unless you got a new fresh-out-of-the-box hard drive of course, but obviously, that's different. Just let Windoze use its Plug and Pray method of doing things and pick up the hardware, have your Winsuck CD ready in case it needs to pull a driver off it, or whatever software CD it comes with, and blamo, you're all set. And if you can't follow those directions, I pity you.
    My mother of course like always, did not believe me. Then again she wouldn't believe me if I were God. Hell, she didn't believe me when I said we were infected with the Cherynobl virus that one time, and the antivirus didn't stop it, and the cleaner from MicroShit didn't work either. She didn't believe me on any of those accounts and because of that, she fried our hard drive when I told her to wait so I could try and reformat it before the system fried.
    So, as a result of my mother not believing me I had to go and call tech support for her to prove it. And even the tech said that the sales rep was wrong.

This is why I hate sales reps. I've yet to find one that actually knows what in the hell they're trying to sell me. So far, they all fit the description of George Carlin's "types of people". They're kinda smart but.......AH! They're fulla shit!!!!
