So yesterday, during one of the hottest months of the year, the power goes out and I get in a rush to get my things together to get the hell out of Dodge because I only have a few minutes to get to air that is below 70F or I can die. So I decide to go over to my Mom's and call the electric company trying to figure out WTH? So after playing phone tag for a bit, I finally find out that it was JUST my building and they apparently messed up something working on some line or something but it was going to take all day to fix. I finally get my laptop set up and go to log into the internet, which was working FINE for my Mom all the way up until I decide to try and go online and OFC her internet then goes out. Then my elderly my very young and hip mom who goes crazy and tries to break herself if I mention the word elderly, thinks I broke her internet because she doesn't understand how internet works. She asks me what I did to her internet, and I tell her I didn't do anything, I just tried to log in. She then says " It was working FINE until you did something to it" I proceed to reset the router and of course it is still out, so I call AT&T SATAN and go through the nine levels of hell to finally talk to someone and they say they are unaware of an outage so I call a couple of my parents neighbors and they too have their internet out, so I call SATAN again and go back through the nine levels of hell to finally talk to someone and they again try to tell me no one had reported anything, but then I tell them that BOTH my neighbors said they reported an outage when I spoke to them, then they give me some run around again because that is what they do best and tell me to call back later. All the while I keep having to listen to my Mom complain about how I broke her internet. Luckily it came back on eventually and my Mom FINALLY stopped accusing me of breaking her internet.
