Russell Crowe and the phone incident...

I’ve never been a huge fan of Russell Crowe as a person and his last outburst where he threw the phone kind of sealed the deal for me. However recently I’ve had urge to rip phones off walls and throw them at people too. Trying to do business with the telecom companies here is an absolute nightmare. Dealing with getting our HUGELY overpriced connection to the office was bad enough but now getting a connection to the house has caused even more grey hair. It’s tough because you’re dealing with one person and they work for a monopoly so there is nothing you can do but grin and bare it. I’ve been waiting for my internet connection since June and the last few weeks I’ve been promised every day, yes yes yes sir, it is coming today, we had a small technical problem but it is taken care of now, today for sure, I promise… let me call you back in half an hour sir…. I’m now calling him from a different number every hour as he has call display and doesn’t answer my calls. Talk about frustration
