Since I'm a lover of lists, I'll tell me stories in list form: 1. Drilling a hole in the floor of my rented house, causing the carpet to rip un and run, costing me $100 out of my security when i left! 2. Never coming when there's a problem, but being right on time to pick up your crap if you didn't pay the bill. 3. Hold times that are so long, i swear i grew a beard. 4. Cable guy backed into my neighbors car. 5. Cable guy never shows up. 6. Cable guy never shows up, until I get in the shower.....and leaves. 7. OVerall rudeness and mood ruining I’ve had countless bad experiences with Comcast cable…..

My worst customer service story has to do with hiring a contractor to put in hardwood floors. We found this guy's info through the store we purchased the flooring. We called him and he came over the next day to give us an estimate. Very friendly and very eager to work. We hired him on the spot, picked a date for him to come over and gave him a $100 deposit. The day he was supposed to come - he never showed. My husband had taken the day off of work and called this guy repeatedly. Finally in the afternoon - the contractor calls him back and says that he had been robbed and was dealing with the police all morning. He apologized and rescheduled. The rescheduled day came and he was still a no sho. This time I had taken off of work and I was NOT tolerating this. I called him repeatedly and finally he answered. I demanded an answer. He proceeded to tell me that his wife had left him. I called him out on it and said he told my husband he was robbed. He said, "Oh... see... I thought I was robbed but my wife had just taken all our stuff." He then proceeded to go on and on about how his "world is crumbling". I am a nice person but I had to call bulls**t on this one. I said his personal life had nothing to do with our contract and that if he did not come to do the floors that I would pursue legal action to get my $100. Now his world wasn't crumbling anymore. I demanded a discounted rate and he agreed. When he finally DID come with his merry band of idiot contractors, they spent the entire time asking me how much I spent on items in my house (!!) and when all was said and done, I realized that they had patched holes in my drywall using PAPER TOWELS and caulk! Oh no – I hope I’m not too late!

I placed my order and put the coupon on the counter. As the counter girl was ringing me up, she didn't discount me for the coupon, which was in plain sight and that I had already mentioned. When I asked her about it, she said "Oh well, I already rang you up, you can use it next time." I'll pretend to be a lady and say I just sucked it up and smiled, but you better believe I got my discount. How rude!

I waited at the counter like 10 minutes and she was still ignoring me. I even said "Hello?" like 5 times. Just rude! The worst customer service experience I’ve had was at a salon near my house,.

Then, the man came up and asked me to carry the mattress up myself (four flights of stairs). I said no. Then, he tried to leave it in the hallway. Then, he cornered me in my bedroom and tried to attack me. I had to call the cops. When I called the company they barely cared... refused to give me his name to press charges (since he forged his signature on the copy of the delivery page he gave me). It ended up at the BBB soooo much drama, right!? I ordered a mattress and the delivery guy showed up three hours later.

I worked in fashion for 5 years. A customer had bought a formal dress from me and a few days later, she came to return it. She had no receipt and it had obviously been worn. I explained the store return policy, but she asked to see a manager! The manager made me let her return the dress. Here I was following the rules and he made me look like a fool! I will never forget that. Thanks, Cindi I was on the other end of a customer/employee

A couple months after having my baby I was told I had paid off all of my bills and then when my baby was 8 months, I was billed 2,000 for my stay. They had my wrong address so it took forever to get to me so it was overdue and sent to collections. It took me two weeks to contact the right people to figure it out and I ended up paying the $2,000 (grudgingly). I am so glad I switched providers!!!

So about 3 weeks later I had my phone ported! Thanks for the opportunity.
