I don't know why this set me off, but I got so pissed off last night. I've been getting unwanted magazine subscriptions (Sports Illustrated/Businessweek) to my house the past few weeks. So, I looked up the customer service #'s of both companies and called to cancel it.
Turns out some "third party" bought me a subscription and then I have to call them to outright cancel. The magazine companies can only "suspend deliveries". And these companies have shady-ass names like Subco or International Magazine Retailers. You never get ahold of a person and it always puts you to voice mail. So, now I've wasted an hour of my life on this bullshit I never asked for, but have to do due diligence on it, so I don't get shaken down for money down the road.
I've never written a congressperson before, but this shit makes me want to. Even though it would be a moot point.
