Dell Can Suck My Unwashed Balls!

Back to the point of this blog. Bitching about things. I was going to bitch about HP and AT&T. Both companies have customer service agents that can read a script slightly better than a one-eyed jack, and speak English slightly better than a West Virginia hillbilly. Sadly, I have to stay with AT&T, at least until Verizon gets the iPhone. That damn Steve Jobs and his iPhone. It's like a drug. It's like crack. It's worse. I can't go 5 minutes without it. Believe me. I used to do crack. Anyway, point being AT&T's customer service can't make any changes without totally fucking up your plan. I wonder how they change their pants.

Back to Dell. They are the latest on my piss list. I've been looking at buying a Dell mini 10v. Not because it's cool or anything. Just because I want something small that I can run Hackintosh on. (Damn that Steve Jobs.) Apparently, the Dell mini is good fit. The current version only has a 0.3 megapixel camera. And it's about twice the price of a refurbished mini 10v. And they have a 15% discount that is good until tomorrow. So it seemed like all the stars were lined up. I ordered one on Black Friday. It got canceled. I did spend some time looking for more coupons and trying to find a credit card that wasn't maxed out yet, so I figured it was my fault. I logged into the site daily, and after a while, they finally had some in stock again! I ordered again. It was canceled again! I tried it again on the next stock. CANCELED! Look at my inbox here -

I order different laptops 5 effing times! Canceled 5 effing times! Finally, I decided to call them and figure out what the Sam Hill was going on. I finally got through to sales support who couldn't find any of these 5 orders. He transferred me to some bitch in the 'pines that told me she can't sell me a refurb, but she would love to sell me a new one. I explained nicely to her that I didn't want a new one, I wanted to find out what was wrong with the website. She just sat there quietly and then asked if I wanted to buy a new one!?! It was like talking to the housekeeping lady at a motel! I asked her why the website posts the mini as available, I can check out, and then hours later I get canceled. She said it was a marketing error. And there is no way for me to buy a mini 10v. But she can sell me a new 1018. I started asking for someone that can resolve this and she hung up. 

I figured - screw them. The same models that I bought this morning were on the website again when she "lost the call" Another funny thing - she took down my cell phone in case the line dropped. I wonder why she never called back.  Probably because she is a bitch. Or maybe she couldn't figure out how to call the US from her rotary phone. Or maybe she figured out I wasn't going to buy a new computer and she wasn't going to get her .03 cents commission. Or maybe because Dell doesn't give a shit about anyone. Or maybe because she was a bitch. 

So Dell  can blow me. And Asus can suck me. HP can try a little DP if I've had enough to drink. I'm running out of computer manufacturers here. Lenovo? Sony? Acer? Gateway? Tandy? I'm going to find an old Dell at work and smash it Office Space style. And send the video to Michael Dell. With a picture of my unshorn balls for him to suck. Or play with. Or shave. It's up to him. That's the only way I'll ever buy another Dell. The ball is in your court Mr Dell. Pun intended.
