Who knew there were so many utilities to order

First off, to The Boy, who decided today to rip off his diaper in a motion that could have been confused as a Chippendale's move (not that I would know personally, of course), I could have done without the CRAP ON THE FLOOR. Sure the timeout/spanking/screaming may have been excessive punishment but did you really think that ripping off a poop-filled diaper and flinging it at your brother in his swing was going to get any less a reaction from me? Really? 'Cause as the nuggets flew through the air and onto the carpet (the only carpet in the WHOLE DAMN HOUSE), you appeared to be unsurprised by my Postal-like reaction.
Back to the house BS. Because, Internet, that's what it is. I just occasionally pay the bills online when I remember to do it. I don't think about the utilities. I treat them like one treats hot dogs. You have a vague idea where it comes from but it's probably a better policy to just pay the bill and call it a day.
Despite reading
Mir's 9 million posts on why she hates Comcast, I tried to order Comcast online. Which is hilarious because after you order online, you still have to call. And your call gets routed to Ottawa. And then to Ottawa. And then Ottawa is affronted because you don't already have Comcast service even though the county you live in now is currently IN BED WITH ANOTHER CABLE COMPANY WHICH IS NOT COMCAST. And then your call gets dropped. And then you call back and Ottawa tells you to call the office right up the street from you. And then the office says you aren't entitled to any discount unless you order 45 services.
And then you go online to order Verizon instead (that will show them). But you can get the bundle discount until 5 days before you move (and you can't call until 5 days before you move) and then they can't guarantee service within 5 days.
And this is all right after you tried to order water service. Which would be right after you scheduled the inspection of THE WELL. I swear to God and on my grandmother's grave that if I AM PREGNANT (clearly the only explanation for such behavior), I WILL KILL MYSELF.
