So, while paying the bills this weekend

I opened something from Spectrum, which I'd usually just throw away because we don't use Spectrum but we get spam from them all the time. This one, though, said it was a bill. Like, an actual "give us money" bill.

They were charging me $150. Wha da fug? Looking at the service address, though, I see that it's for service to the apartment my mom lived in in an assisted living facility, in which she had Spectrum for her cable service.

The thing, though, is that my mom no longer lives there — or anywhere, as she died. In 2018. After which, I cancelled the service and turned in the equipment.

Talking with Spectrum was fun. First guy said this was for Internet service, which Mom never had. The second person had trouble grasping that I was calling in regard to service at a place my mother had not lived in nearly 6 years. And after a bit, she said it was all taken care of.

Uh-huh. We'll see.

How about you? Have you ever had any random wha da fug encounters with a service provider? Share your stories below.

I was recently forced to switch to fiber optic wi-fi but then I got a notice that they were coming to install it. I emailed them that it had been installed and they could cancel the appointment. So they cancelled my wi-fi. So I had to go another week without any wi-fi until they could reinstall it.
