YooTubeSniper back and I just had to share something I found very interesting with my readers. I am not sure how many individuals have the pleasure of owning some type of entertainment provider for their viewing needs. Having the  choice of watching a variety of shows that please your lifestyle is wonderful until you forget to pay the bill. I recently had the opportunity to work for a very large cable provider in the Collections Department where my duties including restoring phone, cable, and internet service if you paid your past due balance.  In most cases customers would call and pay their bill and the service would be restored within the hour.  But there are the other customers that give all the reasons in the world why their services should not be interrupted.  These excuses inspired me to keep a list of all the excuses I heard while working there and thought i would share it with my fans. Some of these are pretty unique and some make you sit back and say REALLY?
