can't you set your payments to be done automatically? that's what I do. I just have to check the Videotron one from time to time cuz those mofos can have dumb poop going on with their billing lol.

there are a couple companies i have to keep an eye on (looking at you, comcast!) because they'll just up your bill without telling you and if you don't look you'll just keep overpaying until you call and yell at someone who will eventually bring your bill back down.

the mortgage and the HOA fee and all that does come out automatically.

the worst part is he's doubling down on that bullpoop despite having been debunked numerous times already lol.
- Pat1993


Because he does not have the ability admit he was wrong - his ego would explode - and the more he rants about it, the more he feels people will believe him.

It is his whole thing.

Since forever.

that is precisely what I was referring to with the Videotron bullpoop, it's so (frank)ing annoying.

well that's the saddest part, a lot of folks either believe everything he says, or just don't give a poop if he's being factually incorrect all the time.

I try to stay calm and be nice, because usually the person handling the call isn't directly responsible for the bullpoop, but if they start being condescending or whatever then at that point I stop giving a poop too.

i always start out calm. but you always have to go through the same ringer. being transferred from department to department before they finally give in. they are hoping you'll give up. once we get to the point where i've explained that i know the drill and it still is a long process, then i kindly apologize in advance and tell them i know they just work there but.. and then the fun commences.

i once asked one of them if they had to fail an IQ test to get that job.

I will say tho, it's a bit remote, and it's not that big, so it's not great if your plan is to set up shop somewhere for a week and discover cultural stuff.

Just called videotron. They gave me 10 more gbs for less than I was paying before. It was such a great experience, even started laughing about a Pat Poilievre from Gatineau
