A friend just posted on a social site that they are very upset because a local company is shutting off cable due to lack of payment. The post is basically a rant bad mouthing the company for being so mean.
I'm having some problems with this ... I happen to know this person ordered something on-line that wasn't a necessity, but a want, and if this person had paid their cable bill with the money, they wouldn't have had it turned off.
It's not the cable company's fault -- this person hasn't paid their bill. And, as much as I appreciate education, you can't teach common sense. Common sense would say, pay your bills first and then if you have money left over, buy stuff.
Instead, this person is bad mouthing the company and complaining there isn't enough money being made and bemoaning their profession doesn't pay much. Since the cable company also provides internet, I'm wondering if it was a wise move to use the employer's computer to post all this.
