Anyway, daily gripe session -
When I installed Comcast for the very first time in my old house, they installed the wrong phone number. Since I had put it on my moving announcements, this was a very big deal and I complained until they fixed it and gave me back the phone number they originally gave me. Then, I moved, but they ported the number, so no issues there.
CenturyLink had severe issues creating my account because of some software transition from the old Embarq system to the new CenturyLink system and certain operators in certain parts of the country couldn't access a Florida account. I remained patient. They finally got everything in order and let me choose the new number. When it went to 3rd party verification, they asked me to verify the wrong number. I said that's not the number they gave me and I called to speak to a supervisor. A supervisor apologized, said it wouldn't be a problem to get the original number back, but it would need to be done after installation. I agreed and he promised to call me the same day of installation once he had fixed the number. Well, that was 3 days ago and he hasn't called me and I just don't feel like waiting on hold and explaining this ordeal so I just took a 1000mg pill of FU-Kitol (read without the hyphen)and have come to accept and yet simultaneously despise my new home number. Every time I give it to someone I imagine myself making this horrible grimacing face because I loathe it so much.
WTH is it with me and getting the right phone number?
