Stressed out Indians?

You want stressed out, try calling for a cable TV installation and get India. You have now entered the stress zone. Trying to make sense of what they are saying is next to impossible. After carefully explaining that they are making no sense what so ever, they ever-so-politely repeat the entire speech word for word. Then it gets difficult....

But, we've all been there so, aww shit!!

I can imagine that listening to Americans asking you to repeat yourself all day because they can't understand you when you know full well that you are speaking perfectly proper English can get a bit stressful.

Cable TV is 120 channels of bullshit. Why waist your time and money?

Very true...butt-Satellite is 180 channels-and that doesn't include Sports channels and Movie channels.

Quite a bit of it IS bullshit, however.......

Maybe they should send all those jobs back here-I'm sure Americans can stand the stress......

There are channels like Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet, History and quite a few others that fit my needs. There is far to many channels like Home Shopping and all like it that can fall off the edge of the earth and not be missed.
