Ah, I know the feeling well. Landline technician, furnace repair, plumber, etc. are also all the same. Or if you start a project, they show up at a critical juncture.
Today, when everyone has a cell phone, we have found that we can actually find companies who will have their people call when they are 30 minutes away and when they would be delayed beyond the agreed time —of course it took some searching for those companies, but they do exist. I simply told them that they had to call because I worked 30 minutes away from home and would need to know when to leave to get there.
Well, he sure isn’t dealing with Comcast. Maybe, if he’s lucking the person will show up at 7 P.M. and ask if he or she can reschedule because its too dark to work.
