Cable internet technician botches installation

Thinking back to the "IT People Suck" blog post I made recently, the last paragraph of that post reminded me of something that happened to me.(pull) "Theres nothing I hate more than someone not being able to fix something and throw out some outrageous, unnecessary suggestion because they are stumped" (/pull)
