They are a joke, a customer-service anachronism from a by-gone era, unresponsive to feedback and complaints. INCAPABLE of comprehending a thing like 'a whole-neighbor-hood-has-lost-service' after a freak fire on a utility pole, and only make appointments 'to fix' individually... in a WEEK.

I recall the case of a guy here in the US where the genius was tempted by the the 'dismemberment clause' in his policy and for that measly 50K ask a girl-friend to 'axe' his leg off... well that was a bloody mess and she walked away while he hobbled and the hack-job took another conspirator and 'go-at-it' angle before ...more

Seemed like they had all sorts of ways NOT to pay for repairs, even for FRIGIDAIRE appliances I bought all new, but seem to crumble several years after their warranty ran out. Yeah forget them PAYING for an appliance that becomes useless. They w...more

This happens a lot more than you know. An undertaker friend of mine told me about a 605lbs-er who ended up having to be 'divided' into quarters, because most crematoria are overwhelmed by several hundred pound of fat. Grease would come out of the bottom and flames would shoot out of the chimney and the fire department ...more
