I ordered a potato and a Dr. Pepper

I received chicken nuggets, fries and an iced tea.

Fail.

Is this Diet?

Dear Wendy’s at 5 and Telegraph,

Did you think that pushing down the ‘Cola’ indicator on the lid of my quite obviously Diet ‘Cola’ could trick me? It did not.

Sincerely,

Dino

Brighthouse Minus Porn

We bought a new TV. I was playing around in the menus and putting labels on all the channels. NBC, Disney, etc.. I received an eye full when I reached 109-10. Porn. I have basic cable. No cable box. Porn?????!!!???? Fail! MAJOR FAIL!

I have daughters that watch this TV!! I am so angry right now. I called Brighthouse and the first person I talked to must have been deep in the heart of India because I couldn’t hear her, let alone understand a damn thing she was saying. She transferred me to someone in Florida. That guy told me he couldn’t help me and that I should just block it and call the local office in the morning.

I blocked it. I will be calling.

UPDATE (10/13/2009)

I called Brighthouse and they said that that signal was picked up over the air and didn’t come from them. They said that if I put in their HD tuner, that would end that. It lowered my cable bill too. Crazy.

No. Thank YOU!

Tim Hortons. 5 and Telegraph.

Tomato A: Takes my card. Swipes it. Hands it back, with receipt.

Tomato B: Hands me my coffee, with one of those ring things.

Tomato C: Hands me my bagel. She didn’t mention that she didn’t cut it all the way through. She has one job – make the bagel. She can’t even do that right. There were napkins though, so I was able to wipe the cream cheese off my hands after trying to tear apart the two halves of my half cut purchase.

No one says anything to me. No “Thank you.” No “Please come again.”. Nothing.
