Guys always say no to everything, you won't have no problems in life.
I get a call from my internet service provider the other day, offering me free TV channels. I say nothing is free, what's the catch? They say there's no catch, it's free.
All right, let's do it...
Today they came over and set it up, and I signed the contract. After they left I'm looking at the contract and I see it ends in 2 years from today. But my current contract for the internet expires in 10 months. I though the channels went together with my internet contract.
And that's the catch! Now I'm stuck paying for this for 14 more months after my current internet package expires.
That aside, under normal circumstances I would have gotten a new package for internet when my current one expires, and I would get 6-12 months free internet, and then some $25/mo for the next 12-18 months (2 years contract). Even if my current internet provider won't offer a special offer on a renewal (like Hostgator), I could just switch to a different provider and get my discounts and call it a day.
Anyway, I did a stupid thing. I knew there was a catch. And for a split second it did cross my mind that if there's a new contract then the contract expiry date could be an issue, but that split second wasn't enough to form a thought and have me act on it. And that aside, those fucks should have laid down the situation for me instead of promising "free". It ain't free! Big picture, 2 years from now I'm $300 lighter than I would normally be because of this "free" business.
The good thing is that I have 14 days in which I'm allowed to cancel the contract, which I will. But these pricks see what they do they wrote on the contract that it was signed on the 26th of June. But it wasn't, it was signed on the 30th of June. And it's Friday, so if I don't go there on Saturday, fast forward to Monday and I've already lost 9 days out of those 14 where I'm allowed to cancel the contract.
Anyway they work tomorrow (Saturday) so I'll go there first thing in the morning and get clarification on all the details, and if I'm right, cancel the fucking thing straight away. And if they give me any crap about how I'm not allowed to cancel it because reasons, that's breaking the law and my rights, so I'm gonna sue them
Remember guys, say no to everything always, you won't have any problems in life...
