Fundamental Law for those calling any tech support or customer service call center:

Thou shalt not put your phone anywhere where it sounds like it is being used like an adult toy in a barely-aroused camel.

(Seriously, it sounded like they were running a brush over it and making some kind of inarticulate noises in the background. It's either camel love or some kind of evil ritual, and I've not burst into flames yet.)

I called up the hosting provider for my site the other night. The guy that recieved my call sounded like he was either A) running a marathon or B) having wild monkey sex and I had just interrupted it.

I was a good customer and waited patiently, and answered his questions directly. Comcast, on the other hand, I tend to yell at voraciously.

And don't call when you are taking the cordless phone/cell phone into the bathroom to pee while waiting for the tech to answer when it's only a 5 minute wait for the next support rep.

Or even then...don't go INTO the bathroom to pee while the computer and/or the modem are restarting.
