Phone, Cable, Plumbing Gripes

Why is it that when a Beaumont customer wants to cut off television cable and high-speed Internet service, he has to drive the modem all the way down to Mid-County to do so?
Seems like there should be a Beaumont office that can handle this. Judging by the customer line I saw today, it's warranted.
Also, why did the phone company say that service was scheduled to be turned on by 5 p.m. today, but when I call to find out why it's not on, I'm told that a 5 p.m. scheduled startup time essentially means that this only starts the clock ticking for service to be turned on 24 to 48 hours after that?
Furthermore, why can't they just standardize dryer plugs and outlets instead of having a crazy, confusing array of potential mismatches?
Lastly, why does the home warranty say that when getting to a plumbing problem, it will cover "access through ceilings" but then turn around and say it won't cover access through a wooden ceiling, even though the home warranty doesn't specify ceiling types?

WHY?

Its because they totally want you to go crazy and lose your temper! Its a consipracy.

Its things like that, that tend to make people go insane.. Its the big things in life we can handle.. Its the little ones that cause us to want to scream, throw a tantrum, and lose our temper.. maybe even throw something!
