Giant, faceless corporation. Yep. That's AOL. But, come on! This is just low. Even for a giant, faceless corporation.

"My mom had AOL, but on February 21st, she was killed in a car accident. On February 23rd, I called AOL to cancel her service... After explaining that my mother was killed in the accident, the rep told me that he was sorry that my mom was unhappy with the service. He then suggested lowering the number of hours per month to reduce the bill. I said "she was killed." The rep then said, "I understand what you are saying, I'm just trying to come up with a solution." He actually got snippy with me. AOL finally told me that my mom would have to call and cancel the service herself (even after I provided the coroner's ID number for the incident, etc.). I told them that if they could reach her that they should let me know how they did it..."

In addition to pointing out the fact that the guy on the other end of the line isn't listening to a goddamn thing you're saying, this situation brings up a really important question: Is there internet access in hell ('cause we all know that's where I'm headed)? God... if there is, it's probably dial-up. Shudder...
