I made an appointment for today (Saturday). I needed 40 minutes notice so that I could drive to the location that needed to be serviced. The operator when I called said that she could not give me a time, but that it would probably be early afternoon. I received a call at 8:30 am from the plumber asking me if I was available. This is an hour before they even opened. Needless to say, I was having breakfast and my teleportation machine was on the fritz, so I never got to have my appointment. The only service I'm willing to sit around all day for is a cable provider. Especially in a house with no running water.
