Door to Duh Storage

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Grrr.  You have a perfectly working payment website, complete with user logins and emails already set up.  You decide to replace it, I guess because someone needed an excuse to still be employed, so you wipe out the old system and build a new one from scratch.  And because you are extra stupid, and want to waste a bunch of money on customer service phone calls, you can’t be bothered to use the same email address-to-account linkup that you had in the system, and instead make everyone call in, all on the same day, because you didn’t bother to warn people you were intentionally breaking your system ahead of time.  Incompetent jerks.

Door to Door does an OK job of storing your stuff, but their billing department is staffed by losers.  Remind me to tell you sometime about the 6 months it took to get them to stop double-billing me.  Months of phone calls and messages, never answered nor returned, before I finally just started calling other departments and asking them if anyone actually worked in the billing department.

Not Happy Today

Sound Speed Scooters is starting to really tick me off.  I spent some serious cash on a new scooter, and when I go to pick it up, it makes it 10 feet and dies.  I have to leave it with them and walk back to work, then leave work again to come pick it up when they fix it.  Today, I’m riding it to the store to pick up a chain to lock it with at work, and it dies again.  This time, I’m way more than 10ft from their shop, and had to get it towed to them.  They assure me that they will take a look at let me know what’s wrong, right away.  I walk back to work, AGAIN.  Their store hours are supposed to be 11am to 6pm, so when I call them at 5pm, and it goes straight to voicemail; I’m pretty pissed.  I drive over, and they tell me they need till at least tuesday to figure out what’s wrong.  ARGH!

Update:  The sales/fixit guy calls today.  He doesn’t have my bike fixed, but he thinks he knows the source of the problem.  Sub-standard fuses “inside the batteries”.  They need a couple of days to decide what to replace them with, and then I will be “good to go”.

So, in what’s become a frequent incident in downtown Seattle, the Monorail failed, and the fire department had to evacuate everyone by ladder truck.  That’s not the funny part.  I’m watching the news, and it appears that the ladder truck they used is broken down too, with the hood raised up so someone can work on the engine.
