I’m not a techie
I really don’t care
What cords are which
Or what goes where
Recently I had nightly noise
From a receiver, a tech “toy”
Called and they said okay
We’ll send a new one straightaway!
It did come quickly, I admit
Opened to find the same old –it!
Refurbished, had a few scratches
So I called to see what the catch is
Meantime an email also arrived
A day after I surmised
I needed to get a replacement
It said, don’t throw it in the basement
Or sell, just recycle is what they meant
No problem but the new one didn’t work
The next phone guy was a jerk
Rude and sort of condescending
Grandsons hear his voice unending
“We can upgrade for a fee”
He said almost nastily
Replied I think this is a used one
“Would cost extra to get a new one”
Pointless not to accept my fate
The new bill I won’t pay
We set it up, worked for ten minutes
Now it’s off and I can’t use it.
It’s late I’m tired, not ready to deal
Or I’d tell the phone guy how I really feel.
😳😧😤

An entertaining read, but how frustrating for you!
A while ago my intercom went on the blink. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. A friendly technician came and fiddled with it. He said he hoped that would do the trick, but if not, he’d give me a new one. A couple of weeks later it stopped working again. A different technician turned up. He said he’d replace it with a new one that was in his van. He detached it from the wall and took it to his van. A minute later he returned and fixed an intercom to the wall. I didn’t notice until he was gone, but it was the same one!
The nice technician has since been back and fitted one that works.

Creative energy, fueled by frustration. Nicely done, but I hope you go this repaired / replaced.
