I feel like it's time that The Unstealthiest Ninja got his own children's Book or something. 10% finders fee!
When will he learn
Here we go again. Not in a rush to buy - this one will be around for a while.
DoOomcat, another great sequel in the UN story. Thanks for making another great one. (I want it, so very much. But I can't. Every time I've purchased a shirt since the switch, things just go horribly wrong. But this shirt will be added to my "covet and want" list!)
lololol I love this series. That ninja is such a derp.

What I was thinking.
Yeah! The Un-ninja is back! I will add this to my collection as soon as bank account permits.

I second this. Or an animated series. Get on it Dooomcat!
A nice addition to the set, good work.

It'd be nice if there were an option of paying slightly more for an AA version of this shirt!
Yay! Unstealthiest Ninja is back ^^ I love the color scheme on this one :D congrats Doomact! I second the animated series idea!:D
Oh UnNinja, how I love you! Another one for me and my son.
This one makes me think of the Pandaria expansion for Warcraft.
I just love these shirts!!!! Seeing his tummy is super cute, but I don't think anything can top his water wingys.
nathanlane wrote:When will he learn
I believe the write up for the first shirt called the Unstealthiest ninja a she. I could be wrong, but maybe there's a reason the shirt only shows the belly. Also on the first shirt, s/he is dropping her/his sai, and in this one the ninja with the sai is still on the dragon. Are more than one of them Unstealthy ?, I have to buy this shirt for my collection, but there is nothing stealthy about a dragon flying around with a bunch of ninjas on its back to begin with. Still, if I can't wait to see what's next.
haven't bought a shirt from here in a while after the different shirt manufacturer. may have to pick this up just to complete the collection. Have the shirts gotten any better since they switched to the Honduras ones?
Oh, I so wanted to get the Unstealthiest Ninja shirt where he was on fire, but alas since my ten year old sincerely believes he is a ninja it would have hurt his feelings to think that his father and I both wanted the shirt because we're actually raising the Unstealthiest Ninja. Ha!
Well, since no one else had said it yet, I just gotta. Dreamworks Pictures presents, "How to Train Your Ninja."
Unstealthiest Ninja: The Unstealthinatings Episode I: Unstealthiest Ninja 1: FIRE!!! Episode II: Unstealthiest Ninja 2: Blizzard Ninja Episode III: Unstealthiest Ninja 3: Swimming Lesson
How is that ninja still alive? Also, poor Harold. You woot people should really have hired him to a job he was better qualified to do. Instead, I say fire the guy who made Harold a writer in the first place. ;P
When I saw another UnStealthiest ninja shirt, I immediately wanted to buy! However, as much as I love this series, I do have a critique for this shirt: the other three were excellent because they showed a ninja failing at basic ninja skills (sneaking around, camouflaging, walking on water)... whereas ninjas are not exactly known for riding dragons. I feel like this could reasonable happen to anyone, and lacking the ability to hang on to a dragon doesn't make one a failure as a ninja. Still... adorable!
@tsukitensh, but a ninja should have perfect balance! :^) I love the infusion of more Japanese mythology into the series. And this shirt looks great too. Animated Unstealthiest Ninja kickstarter imminent?
The Dragon doesn't have wings! He must be flying via powerful ninja or jeti mind meld tricks!
I find myself intensely curious as to the mission these other ninjas are so fervently riding towards that requires the presence of a freaking dragon. Also, never before have I seen a squadron of ninjas, let alone ONE ninja, ride a freaking dragon.
At least his foot got caught in the tail. He'll be ok and back for more adventures !
gideonfrost wrote:I feel like it's time that The Unstealthiest Ninja got his own children's Book or something. 10% finders fee!
I so agree! It's almost an online comic. An Awesome online comic. I hope this isn't the end of Unstealthiest Ninja.

Asian dragons don't have wings. And Doomcat got the toes right. Japanese dragons have 3 toes, Korean 4, and Chinese 5.

My internet connection is faster than that, but this one had me at "Unstealthiest Ninja." I was just thinking this weekend how desperately I wished there was another one in this series. Talk about timing.
SO excited to see a new Unstealthiest Ninja shirt!
I am laughing so hard right now at "Harold's" write up! How do you guys come up with those write ups? Too funny! Oh and the shirt is cute as well!
If he isn't killed by the fall and his compatriots don't kill him after this, I will be counting the days and readying my credit card for Unstealthy 5! In for 3!
Oh, so this is what Neuro meant regarding "don't look at Woot" last night... I'm obligated, aren't I?
An animated series could be absolutely HILARIOUS!
You aren't kidding. I did the same thing. Dooomcat is my favorite artist. Awesome new shirt Alyson
And the collection is complete again.
Am I the only one who wants this entire series in tote and/or poster format? Or better yet, as a spiral notebook cover or even a tablet sleeve so I can use it at work? I rarely get to wear teeshirts but I love all the Unstealthiest Ninja designs! Also I second (3rd? 4th?) making this into a cartoon or comic! So cute!
Just got a chance to check my email now (busy morning with the boys) so happy surprise Thanks for all the ninja love guys, and some great suggestions... a kid's book and a webcomic are right up my alley. Might need a few hundred thousand in start up money for an animated series though...
mrbarister wrote:I believe the write up for the first shirt called the Unstealthiest ninja a she. I could be wrong...
The original write up had the Un-ninja coming home and talking to his (spouse?) lady, Jenny. Though they never did give (him?) a pronoun. I think it may have been implied.
The Art of Non-jutsu 1st place in Derby #188: Double-Take Derby 12, with 961 votes! "Honey, you have to settle down. So today was a bad day." "Are you even listening to me? My head was on fire, Jenny! My girlish screams alerted all of the shogun's warriors! We barely got out alive! Sigh. I just know this will end up on my performance review. I'll be fired for sure." "Nonsense! Your master said you were the best at arterial spray in the whole dojo. Every slice of your blade brings gushing red joy to his old eyes. That counts for something, right?" "Yeah, maybe. But stealth! Why can't I get stealth down? Who ever heard of a loud, clumsy ninja? I dunno. Maybe I made a mistake. Maybe I should've gone into accounting like my parents told me to." "Oh, sweetie. It's okay. You're going to get better. Why, when you came home this afternoon, I didn't even hear you come in the front door." "Really? You're not just saying that?" "Of course not, honey. Of course not." Wear this shirt: and try to put a smile on the face of your stony ninja master. Don't wear this shirt: around pirates, robots, or zombies. You'll only start a fight. This shirt tells the world: "Hush hush, keep it down now. Ninjas vary." We call this color: Black To Ninja School
Wait! I found the pronoun! From UN2 -
Wear this shirt: because you've seen how he ends in fire, now see how he ends in ice. It's very poetic, you see.
Unstealthiest Ninja is a dude. A dude with a comically perfect little butt-crack, right below his... belly button? No wonder he can't get his act together!

Why I don't type the 4th Step or fill in electronic forms to type the information for my 4th Step Inventory
Many times I get asked the question: "do you have an electronic form so that I can do my Inventory on my PC or a word processor?"
I'm going to post the latest question and my email reply here in the forum, so that hopefully, in the future I can just point others to my answer, rather than re-typing it each time.
Here goes!
Comments Dear Dallas,
> Thank you so very much for these great forms to help me with my 4th step.
> My question is technical; how can I edit or write my text into the
> electronic version of the forms? Must I print them on paper and then
> write by hand or can I enter the text on the electronic pdf form?
> Sincere Thanks, (name not shown here)
My reply:
Hello (name not shown here),
The Big Book instructions for writing the 4th Step Inventory are specific in using the words "pen and paper."
There are also several references in the book to "precise instructions" and "carefully followed directions".
If we want the results that was produced by the Pioneers of the AA recovery program "if you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it"... then I would highly suggest that we follow their instructions precisely. And, part of those instructions are "pen and paper". Not a typewriter, not a word processor and not a computer, nor a pencil.
This is why I suggest that an electronic version not be used. (Meaning: an electronically generated form on a PC or word processor so that you can simply type your comments for the inventory into the form, in an effort to make it an easier, softer, and more efficient way to do the written Inventory)
I had the same question that you did, when I did my first 4th Step. "Can I do this with my word processor... it's easier and faster for me to type than to hand write it?"
Fortunately for me, I had the opportunity of meeting an long-time sober AA member that was a renowned Military Officer and head of a Veterans Mental Health and Psychiatry hospital, that personally answered my question for me. It was a very long and technical conversation in answering my inquiry as to the difference in hand-writing the Inventory and typing it. The bottomline to his answer was "the connection in communication with the mind with the physical activity of writing with the hand will tap into a specific and unconscious area of our mind and produce a different therapeutic result in the psyche of the individual." It was a very interesting and enlightening conversation, that I will be forever grateful that I had the opportunity to have! And, ever since that conversation I have never asked the question again... I just tried to do my best to follow the "precise instructions" that are written in the Big Book, regarding the taking and practicing of our 12 Step program.
I get asked this question so often, that I'm going to post your question and my answer in our forum, so that it might benefit others with the same question.
Nice to hear from you! And, best regards.
Dallas B.

Dodgers look to cut magic number to four
Corbin eyes victory No. 14 as D-backs try to avoid sweep
Fresh off Tuesday night's thrilling extra-inning walk-off victory, the Dodgers will look to sweep the D-backs on Wednesday night and lower their magic number to clinch the National League West title to four as two of the top young left-handers in baseball meet in the series finale at Dodger Stadium.
In one corner will be Hyun-Jin Ryu, trying to once again become the lone leader in wins among NL rookies. He's currently tied with the Cardinals' Shelby Miller, who picked up his 13th victory on Tuesday.
In the other corner, Patrick Corbin will seek win No. 14 as the D-backs try to avoid a sweep at the hands of the team trying to eliminate them from postseason contention.
Ryu will be making his first appearance since Aug. 30. He was scratched from his scheduled start Friday because of a stiff back. The 26-year-old threw 40 pitches in a bullpen session Sunday in Cincinnati and expects to be 100 percent.
"He's been good the last few days," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Ever since the bullpen, he's been fine. No complaints."
Although Ryu has just a 5.82 ERA in four starts against Arizona this season, he's 4-for-6 at the plate with a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in those games.
As for Corbin, the 24-year-old carried a 2.24 ERA and a 12-2 record with him through the first four months of the season, generating an All-Star bid and some early NL Cy Young talk along the way. But from the beginning of August to his first outing in September, Corbin began to struggle, losing four of five decisions while his ERA over the stretch was 5.63.
That downward trend forced the D-backs to entertain thoughts about shutting the southpaw down the rest of the season or moving to a six-man rotation to limit his innings. But after Corbin worked eight strong innings vs. the Giants last week, surrendering three runs while striking out five, the club appears to be feeling better about how its young ace is ending his first full season in the Majors.
"I just think he's locating better," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "He made a couple of mistakes, but he's locating the ball better, getting it to both sides of the plate. He's throwing strikes to the inside corner to the righties. It just seemed like he had more arm speed. He's very comfortable out there."
Before Ryu and Corbin go to work, there will be quite a few special moments at Dodger Stadium, as Wednesday's game comes on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Major League Baseball and its clubs will commemorate the anniversary with on-field tributes at all Major League games. This remembrance is part of baseball's ongoing and league-wide effort to honor those whose lives were lost and affected on that tragic day.
Home clubs will mark the anniversary with pregame ceremonies, including a moment of silence, and the "We Shall Not Forget" MLB silhouetted batter ribbon will be displayed throughout ballparks. In addition, special lineup cards and base jewels will be used for every game played. All on-field personnel, including players, coaches and umpires, will wear an American flag patch embroidered on the side of their caps.
At Dodger Stadium, the National 9/11 Flag from the New York Says Thank You Foundation will be unfurled in center field by first responders, including two New York firefighters. There will also be a joint Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles Fire Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff helicopter flyover while more than 50 first responders and chiefs of respective departments line up on the first- and third-base sides.
Dodgers: Kemp still hoping to return
Matt Kemp hasn't played with the Dodgers since July, but Mattingly is optimistic the injured center fielder will be back in the Majors before the end of the regular season.
"I'm starting to feel that way, yeah," Mattingly said Tuesday. "I think everybody is pretty positive that he's on a pretty good track."
Kemp's rehab from a sprained left ankle was slowed last week by tightness in his right hamstring, but Mattingly said he's been encouraged by the medical reports he's received. Kemp hasn't tested his hamstring by running the bases, but he's getting at-bats in simulated games at the Dodgers' Spring Training facility at Camelback Ranch-Glendale. He took 10 at-bats Tuesday in a simulated game.
"It sounded like he swung the bat really well," Mattingly said. "I think he was like 6-for-10 with four homers or something like that, something crazy. He's obviously feeling better."
D-backs: Schulte set for milestone broadcast
D-backs radio voice Greg Schulte will broadcast his 2,500th game for the club Wednesday.
Schulte was hired by the D-backs prior to their inaugural season in 1998 and is the only member of the original broadcast team who has be on board since the beginning. Bob Brenly left the television booth after the 2000 season before returning this year.
"It was something I wanted to do since I was a kid," Schulte said. "I always wanted to be a big league baseball broadcaster. I grew up listening to Harry Carey and Jack Buck in St. Louis. To finally get that opportunity and to make it last now for 16 years is pretty special."
Worth noting
• The D-backs have played 75 extra innings this season, one shy of the MLB record set by the 1969 Twins.
• The D-backs and Dodgers will open the 2014 season with a two-game series in Sydney, Australia on March 22-23.

Mowing Down Climate Change With a Clean, Quiet Gardening Company
Kelly Giard walks into a bar and starts asking questions about lawn mowers. That's no joke: Giard's Clean Air Lawn Care may be kind of a funny story, but one that's gotten serious results in the three years since it started. It's the country's largest environmentally-friendly lawn care service, with franchises in 27 territories across the U.S. from Seattle to to Raleigh. Revenues increased 100 percent this year and Giard expects that growth rate to continue over the next five years.
But let's get back to that bar. Giard once owned a franchise where he cultivated a different sort of green, the kind in clients' investment portfolios. He was in the market for a mower, which led to the informal poll at his local watering hole—and the founding of a new business. Giard started Clean Air Lawn Care out of his garage and, despite a late-in-the-season start in 2006, quickly grew the business using a franchise model that he'd come to appreciate in his work as a financial planner.
It's not a huge surprise that Giard, who earned a BA in Environmental Analysis and Policy from Boston University, wanted to find green replacements for the chemicals and air pollution produced by traditional lawn maintenance. But mostly, says the veteran stockbroker, "I was bored and searching for fun."
Giard's electric mowing equipment is powered by wind energy (overnight) and solar panels mounted on trucks (during the day). Convincing homeowners that his equipment is superior to gas guzzling, cloud spewing mowers wasn't all that hard. Along with organic fertilization and weed control, Clean Air uses tarps and rakes instead of loud leaf blowers. "You can be in your back yard when our trucks show up and we'll be working in the front and you won't know we're there," says Giard.
But like anything green and growing, Clean Air Lawn Care needed careful planning, constant care and cultivation to grow into the thriving business it is today. Here's what Giard has to say about his green thumb.
The best fertilizer: "When you share capital risk it is easy to grow. Franchising keeps ownership local and the profits in the area. It has lots of qualities that align with the principles of our business and the niche we are in."
Same species: "Relationships with franchise owners are similar to that of a financial planner and their client. It's a long term relationship with a lot at stake."
Filling holes in the landscape: "We were filling a need with our business, but the green movement hadn't really taken off yet, so we couldn't just hop on board the bus. I thought it might be a once-in-a-lifetime shot to do something major and it took over my life."
Crab grass: "I've had guys quit because they are frustrated with the equipment. It is tempting in May, when it's been raining a lot and the grass is growing long, to switch to gas mowers. And we looked bad in the customers' eyes [if we couldn't get the job done]. The equipment is 90 percent of the way there now and I think we are benefiting from the culture and character of the company."
Drought: "The business always had great momentum, but in 2009 when the economy went down, we lost it. I got conservative. It took a while to build it back into company and our culture. I did it by addressing that I screwed up."
Hired hands: "I had my hands in everything in the last two years, and I started letting go and blindly trusting people in order to scale the business. It's difficult but really cool when it works. We are trying to pattern ourselves after companies like Patagonia and find people that are philosophically committed to what we do."
Worms: "We are trying to start a compost division. Food and yard waste in our area amounts to 30 percent of what goes to the landfill. We can use it for our treatment programs and it reduces transport costs and fuel. Most investors think I'm nuts eyes when I start talking about red wiggler worms and top dressing until I explain the cost benefit. We still need to figure out how to close the loop in a cost-effective way with city and county zoning. I need to learn a lot more about worms or hire someone to be a worm whisperer."
Stopping to smell the flowers: "The smell, the sweat, the pattern invites you to pause and enjoy. Maybe it spurs an unnecessary pass through the yard to dwell in the pride of your work. It's immediate positive feedback, better than any boss could give."

CANTON Layoff notices have gone out to 11 employees of St. Lawrence Countys Certified Home Health Agency, bringing the total so far to 14.
County legislators last year decided to eliminate the county agency and the Long-Term Home Health Care Program as a cost-saving measure and because of increasing competition.
Since then, the county has been winding down the agencies.
They have 99 patients left, 53 of them in Long-Term Care, Public Health Director Susan J. Hathaway told legislators Tuesday. The latest round of layoffs is effective March 1. An additional four layoffs will follow.
The agencies have an additional four registered nurses who eventually will move into another division of Public Health. Caring for the remaining patients who are spread throughout the county is a juggling act, Ms. Hathaway said.
Its a challenge. Its an everyday figuring-it-out, she said. We must care for the patients.
Health Services of Northern New York, the countys other operating CHHA, has hired four of the countys former employees.
Some have applied for jobs with Northern Lights, a partnership of Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg, Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley and United Helpers Management Co., but it is not expected to open its doors to CHHA patients until June.
There have been seven retirements, four resignations and four employees who transferred to other jobs in the county, Ms. Hathaway said.
To date, three former employees have filed for unemployment. A total of five are expected to apply for the benefit, Human Resources Director Christopher S. Boulio said.
Some of them are opting to go back to school, Ms. Hathaway said. Its a variety of options people are choosing.

WHITTIER, CALIFORNIA -- For all those considering dealing with Charter stay away from Charter as you may regret it as my experience below shows. This is the last bad experience of a series of bad experiences I had with this company in the last several months including at their office or by phone. It is amazing to see the number of similar complaints on line and with the Better Business Bureau about how this company conducts its business.
We had today Saturday Sept. 7, 2013 a scheduled 3 - 5 PM move of service from one location to another which is literally next door. The reason is that I am disabled and to avoid the stairs in the old location a residence section was blocked of in the new location which has no stairs.
Charter technician failed to show up in spite of two assurances made by Charter on the same day when I called personally to check the status and whereabouts of the installer. Misinformation is what Charter specialize in. For example one of the untrue piece of information given as an excuse is that the installer could not find the new location while two assistants of mine were sent out to wait in the street under scorching heat from 2:10 PM (since your installers some times come earlier) to 5:30 PM well beyond the appointment time. One assistant was stationed at the corner so he can see Charter truck whether it comes from the front door or the back door and the other stood less than 100 feet away at the entrance of old location. Charter never showed up. In spite of 6 calls to Charter each entailing a 20 minutes wait to go through the menu until you get a live person and in spite of several assurances where every time a different and conflicting story is given to the customer we did not learn until after 5:30 that Charter unilaterally rescheduled the appointment for next Saturday a week later.
At that time I called the assistants back from the street and called Charter several more times to discuss a date to get rid of Charter unless they honor their word and install today. One employee attempted to help, called back to inform me that she is talking to a dispatcher and hopes to get the transfer to be done today in an attempt not to lose an 18 years customer. But then very long time passed but she never called back.
Charter also disconnected me from the existing location without connecting the new location using different misinformation as an excuse. I was with no service, no email, no internet and the only thing Charter offered was a 'sorry' and more conflicting information and different story every call. This untrustworthy company reneged on their promise at a great cost to me not only by robbing me of a full day of my life but also adding insult to injury by having me wait from 5:30 PM to 10 PM when they re-gave me the impression that they will honor their promise that night and then not having the courtesy to call back and tell me they will not do it.
"Terrible" does not even begin to describe the installer who because of him Charter lost an 18 years old customer and robbed him from a wasted day of his life plus that of two assistants and unknown number of hours of suffering to obtain alternate service and handle the mess of 18 years old email accounts. Not finding a prominent corner well known business address is only a lame excuse for a more serious problems with Charter staff. The least I can do is to make it my mission in life to inform all our friends, neighbors, every social site and on every occasion the facts of my experience with their misinformation and inefficiency. It will be a pleasure to drop Charter from my dictionary.
It will be a big breath of fresh air to get rid of Charter management who hires such terrible installers and employees.
SILVER SPRINGS, NEVADA -- On 9/26/12, I ordered Charter's Triple Play to be installed in a house I was renting. I was given an installation date of 11/6/12 and was not a happy camper. Called to complain and get an earlier installation date and was called back on 9/27/12 telling me a technician would arrive between 1:00 and 3:00 pm on 9/27/12. The tech arrived, but informed me that Charter would have to bury cables to hook up my service. I was told that the order would be placed that day and that the cable would be buried the following week. I was told that I did no have to be home when the cable was buried, but I would have to be there when the service was hooked up.
On 10/5/12, I called Charter and told them that I could not occupy the house without communications set up in the house. I asked when the cable would be buried so that service could be hooked up. The representative was rather annoyed with my call. I was told that the order was still open and Charter placed another order for the buried cable. I was told that I would know when the cable was buried when I saw painted lines on the ground and markers delineating the water/gas/electrical lines. My husband drives a truck for a living and I do not feel safe without communications hooked up to the house.
On 10/9/12, I called Charter again with further promises that the cable would be buried soon. Once again, I felt as if I was nothing but an annoyance to the Charter personnel.
On 10/12/12, I called again and was told that the crew was scheduled to bury the cable on 10/2/12, but they did not show up. Yet another order was placed for the bury cable work to be done. I was told they would show up on 10/10/12 to bury the cable. They did not show up. I reiterated that I was still unable to live in the house until service was connected. Charter's customer service people leave a lot to be desired. They are rude and make no attempt to disguise their irritability.
On 10/19/12, I placed another call to Charter and was once again given the run around. The representative told me that she would send another bury cable order and that I should receive a call on Saturday, 10/20/12 telling me that the cable was buried and to make an appointment to have service connected.
Today, 10/20/12, I have still not received a call from Charter. I have never been able to talk to the same person when I call Charter. I have no service and have no clue when I will have service. What is the problem? Charter is full of apologies, but that does not give me service. I feel that I have been patient long enough and I am tired of the empty apologies and promises that Charter gives me. I would NOT recommend subscribing with Charter for any reason. They are unreliable and untrustworthy. I am at the end of my rope and would warn anyone and everyone to avoid Charter like the plague. The frustration and lack of service is beyond belief and you are better off dealing with other communcation providers.
Honestly, to those of you that have had problems with your Charter service, I'm sorry. I say that because I am one of the agents that you would possible speak with if you were having problems with your cable or internet. With that being said, I would like you to take into mind that I am only one person of about 17,000 agents that you could possible speak to.
I AM from the US, and do speak English. I have read that many people have issues with people not speaking English but as those of you that have been generous enough to donate to the earthquake or tsunami victims throughout the world, please realize that those are our employees too!
I really wish that each person that has called in with a complaint or issue to our company could work only one month in our daily life. I personally try to be as compassionate and empathetic to every caller I receive, yet understand that some people just don't want to hear it.
If you might be willing to read, this is a normal day of service for a Charter agent:
1. As much as I would love to be able to give you a time that an outage would may resolved, it's really just not possible. I, nor the Charter technitians, are able to prevent them. Granted, sometimes it is a maitenance issue that is being done in the area to repair services, but we cannot control weather-relates issues (such as 49 out of the 50 states getting snow this year,) nor are we able to stop an accident of a vehicle may crash into a fiber line that takes 48 hours to repair. No company is ever perfect but we strive our hardest to give you the best service possible.
2. No one in life (or computer) is perfect. You may call in and speak with the automated system to ask questions about something and get to the incorrect department. Honestly, it happens. When you speak with an agent and tell them what you're calling in about, we're not intentionally trying to avoid you're issue, it's just that we're all trained in different area of specialty. If I'm not the correct agent for you, I'll get you to the right one as soon as possible with the least about of hassle as possible. No program or person is perfect but we do the best that we can.
3. Please keep in mind that on an average day we take anywhere from 30-70 calls per 8 hour shift. During that day it's only one of two things that we're answering the call about; either your cable or your internet is not working. While answering your call there are only so many option that we have to help with. As I said earlier we are specifacally trained per department, and as a call center cable and internet repair agent there is only so much that I'm able to help you with over the phone. I'm aware that when we ask you to unplug a cable box or modem it's typically not conveniant to get to (either being in an entertainment center or searching through many cables connected with your computer.) If there was a way to bypass this option, or to do it for you, we would. Unfortunately this just isn't possible. We only ask you to do this because it genuinely repairs about 80% of the calls that we receive.
4. I completely understand that the automated system may be frustrating, yet yet many customers have their issues resolved while following the steps provided. Granted, in some circumstances an agent is required to resolve issues, the system is in place to over-all assist the customer calling in,
5. While we do provide you, the customer, with cable and internet service, we cannot guarantee that the equipment you used to access those services are going to work. For example, if your television will not turn on, or if your computer has a virus (or the moniter won't power on) unfortunately we may not be able to resolve the problem for you. The same standard applies for third-party routers. If you're able to get online to the internet directly connected to the standard modem, but not able to access your own wireless service in your house, it may be something that you would need to contact the manufacturor about for assistance. we will try to repair any issue you may have with the services and equipment that Charter has provided you with, but some things are just out of our hands.
5. If your services aren't working we will truly try to fix the issue. No one person is expected to pay for a service that they're not getting, but please at least give us a chance to resolve the issue. If you are experiencing an outage or some equipment failure is causing it not to work, call us to let someone help repair the problem. Whether the resolution in sending a technician out or replacing the equipment we can do that for you. However when a person calls in saying that their services haven't been working for the last year, but they's no notes on your account alerting us to the problem, it's difficult to know the accuracy of the statements. It's not the we don't believe you, only that as per any company there must be documentation. As inconveniant it may be for people to take time our of their busy days to call us to state their cable/internet has been intermitten, it's necessary to reciprocrate the compensation you deserve.
In conclusion, we're not robots or droids that have been trained to give a scripted response to answer you. I personally, and the company as a whole strive to give the best customer service possible. Everyone has good and bad days as a whole we do our best. Please keep that in mind next time you call in. Thank you for reading and have a great day.
~~~ A Charter Call Center Agent ~~~
MISSOULA, MONTANTA -- For the most part - these folks don't care if you're unhappy. Their internet is slow too often, and I've had nothing but problems with them (since becoming Charter - even though they state nothing has changed but the name - it changed for me).
The installer put cords through a main walk area, which my son tripped over twice (we have photos but what's the point - they don't care). We are keeping them here until our new ISP installs so we can have a witness - and will be getting statements from as many people as we can over the next few days - dust around them and all so can prove how screwed up this cord thing has been and continues to be). I tripped over it once and pulled the cord right out of the back of my TV (and the whole cable connection so TV is broken). I luckily only fell down and nothing landed on me - just a broken TV. The cord was suspended through the air by about ½" (pulled taught by the installer). My son ruined another TV when helping me move some furniture (at least he didn't trip this time). I have these two broken TV's in the exact condition they were when we accidentally tripped over the cable cord. If someone were to see where this thing was they would be amazed (literally in the middle of the room suspended through the air enough that if not careful this could happen. I'm surprised we didn't trip over it more often. We never got this resolved - eventually had to get an extension wire (which they threw at us and made us do - we couldn't due to the enormity of the splits so had to wait for them to come back). They basically extended it but only enough so the cord would now touch the ground (is still running in the middle of the living room walkway).
They also ruined my computer by putting their software into it twice (yes twice). Once and awhile I get this box that says, "cannot install or upgrade software due to affinigy" or something to that extent - which is digido. Their response - "we don't know why it does this to macbooks and there is nothing we can do." So - why then would they install it 'twice"? Because they didn't believe me when I told them it had been installed before and were too incompetent to search for proof it had been before recklessly reinstalling it. My computer cost 1500.00 and has not worked the same since.
To reward me for 101/2 months of hell - they raise my monthly service by $38.00 per month. Because they never once cared to take care of any of the problems I had due to their negligence and at my expense I have needed to report to the BBB & consumer affairs. I'll likely end up in court. I honestly had let it all go - still have these issues but was trying to be kind and not be a pain to them. Having raised my prices without warning (and taking it out of my account), was the breaking point. I have 2-broken televisions, which need cable connections installed back into (not a difficult process but I won't stop until they take care of this expense), a computer that needs to be sent to a technician (at one point they told me to bring it in to get the software off - at "my" expense when they couldn't do it), and unauthorized amounts coming out of my account.
They have cost me a great deal of time, stress, and money (and just don't care). I strongly recommend any company other than this for your internet and cable services. Their internet may be advertised as fast - and it is "when it works". More often than not I have freezes and delays - major slow downs and needs to reboot (on any devise), and have to turn to my cell phone's internet service for a working connection. Their triple play package - good if you will only want their service on a temp basis. After that you will work your way from the 99.99 to 189.00 - the longer you stay the more you pay. I had been talked into this even though I had been a consumer for about 7 years prior to that. The idea was "you will pay a little less and get a phone out of the deal" I took the offer but was never told that I would pay in a big way down the road. I've asked them to pull the recording from that call (I had called about us tripping over the wire a second time and a second TV being broken), when they sold me this package. I thought existing customers didn't get this deal but evidently because I was paying a decent price they figured they needed to hook me for something (I have no idea why they did this).
A sad ending to a company I would have preferred to stay with for life simply to have some continuity- was even willing to bypass the difficulties to stay with them but they pushed things too far.
GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA -- The Charter Triple Play was eye-catching. So since we were getting married, we thought we'd drop her current provider & make a "fresh start"… Boy, was that a mistake..
I called Charter September 3rd to sign up for the Triple Play ($29.99 for TV, internet & home phone). (I still do not know why we needed a home phone, as we have cells & have not had a land line in years, but they said that was a part of the package, so we bit) We had it installed October 2, as we were getting married, honeymooning, etc & did not want it till 10/2.
I was quoted $107.94 for the first 12 months (the first month was to be $137.93 for installation, etc)
I received my first bill October 9th in the amount of $301.41!!!!!
I called immediately & asked what the heck was going on.. After getting nowhere, even after talking with the supervisor Matt, I told them I wanted to cancel my services & pay up what I have used. I returned the equipment the next day, October 11th.
They have been sending me bills for $71.00 & I asked what that was for, they said that was for the telephone connection that was in place! I told them that I'd told them I wanted it discontinued when I called previously about cable & internet. They said I did not specifically say I wanted to disconnect the telephone, therefore the continuing charge! (We did not even need/want a phone line from the start, they said it was part of the 'bundle')
In the meantime, Charter has sent my account to a collections agency to collect $68.40…
I am posting this to let all know that they are a scam & to beware of their schemes.
I have since switched to AT&T, & while I believe their services to be high, I can afford $106. A month for internet & cable a little better that the bait & switch Charter pulled on me. & yes, I am going to pay the $68.40, but I wanted to post this first & I will also be sending them a hard copy of this in the payment!
ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -- 1. We've had the lowest rated cable service in Asheville, NC since 2010. This is according to 2009 Consumer Reports.
We were warned about the problems with Charter by a few people and we walked into it eyes wide open. It has been the worst everything to the point that I dreaded the renewal timeframe.
Charter Comm. sent a letter to its customers dated 9/14/13 in which it states our promotion is about to expire and we will get a Customer Appreciation Discount of $59 for an additional 12 months. Then the nightmare (the worst of them) began.
They are all pushing a new package. A representative on chat (my second attempt to find out what was going on) called me something close enough to stupid for not wanting to take advantage of the new deal. I told the representative Charter is herding people to upgrade and eventually the costs will skyrocket. I reported his actual words to the rep.'s supervisor who pushed the new package, not the comment by the employee. I attempted to bring the focus back on the employee. I don't know if I was successful. I do know it was a lost cause.
I was pushed off to a higher tier representative. I hung up on him. He called back and I finally picked up the 2nd callback. I explained I knew what Charter was doing and he was my fourth contact of the day pushing a package. I would not apologize. After more agonizing contact, he said we'd get the upgrade (to me of things we don't want or need) for $133 (inclds tax) and our modem/router combo had to be upgraded to handle the higher speed. I informed him the technicians are yet another nightmare. I also asked for the package information with the price quoted be sent to me as, based on all other experiences, people at Charter lie or management does not provide them enough information to do an honest job. He said he could not do that. I replied that I was purchasing something at a verbal rate not in writing and I was concerned I'd be burned (ripped off was more accurate).
The bill was updated online. The Balance for the dropped rate (I was paying $138) was about $9. I called and the uninformed or stupid representative said it was a credit. It did not look like a credit but a charge.
The next day or so I looked again, now the Balance was $89. I CALLED AGAIN.
Customer support could not help, so I was bounced to billing. After about 55 mins. on the phone with the lovely woman from Wisconsin, she said:
a. We didn't need to replace the modem/router everyone else said had to be replaced. It would handle the new speed. I worked in the computer field and with our internet usage we DON'T NEED MORE SPEED. She spent time confirming that. I truly truly appreciated that. She took time to ensure she was telling the me truth.
b. We didn't have to replace our current DVR/cable box that everyone else said had to be replaced.
c. Sometime in October, if we want service on our HD TVs upstairs, we will need boxes for $12/month. I'm considering not watching TV... I could also go to the local shop and pick up the boxes myself. That remains to be seen if it's possible.
I liked the woman in Wisconsin and I apologized to her when I said I'll believe it when I see it. She actually understood and apologized profusely. Apologies for repeatedly horrific service from Charter is worthless but I understood why she had to say it.
I sent a letter to Verizon FiOS imploring them to come here. I watched their stumbling and growth in NY. They would be the competition for Charter.
George, I will make this quick because I am tired of wasting my time with the Charter sales team. I have sought out several Federal Agencies in the Consumer Action Handbook who have informed me that contacting you first for an agreeable resolution, and if not, they would be happy to step in and review the situation.
We must discuss this issue of promising the public a price for a product, and not delivering. You are doing this to me and to many others. I am paying $29.99 (plus paid the $50 install fee) for Internet service only. This price I am paying that you advertise is for phone service. I do not even have a land-line! I should be paying the advertised (via fliers and website offers) $19.99!
Your SALES TEAM is RUDE, INCOMPETENT and just do not care. At this point, and in my professional estimation, Charter has raised Verizon Wireless to a good level. And I believe Verizon has the worst ability in Corporate History of providing in any way a decent and positive customer service. The stats do not lie.
When I called to inquire, your SALES team refused to adjust this appropriately and were very pleasant to tell me they would be more than happy to cancel my service. But, no refunds. I guess that your SALES person already got his/her commission. Now do not get to anxious, I want my service active. There is a lot to write about.
George, you really should be paying more attention to customer retention and establish a track record of KEEPING CUSTOMERS. I guess I am from the old school when the people I worked with cared as much as I did about the customers experience. I was in Hospitality Management for 20-years. I would have FIRED any employee who addressed my customers this way. It all makes sense. I had a lot of competition and if I could not treat the employees and customers properly, they would walk across the street seek out another Hotel. I did not want my employees to form Unions within my establishment. But in these times, maybe the option should be revisited.
I worked for 5-star hotels as DHR and for GM in Labor relations. I am yet to find a decent wireless phone, Internet, home phone or television company anywhere these days. Most all are manipulative, greedy, and not operative with their customers. We low line customers of yours, George, give you a company to operate.
I received an e-mail this morning that a NEW AND IMPROVED Internet package is being offered at the bargain price of $29.99! George, your sales person informed me that I would not get this service even though I am already paying the erroneous $29.00. I was told I can not take advantage of this offer because ... because...because.... I am tired of your employees problems. There is always a reason WHY the customer cannot have what is rightfully offered at what they are paying! I want to know "HOW THEY CAN HELP ME, NOT WHY THEY CANNOT! THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM GEORGE, NOT MINE.
OK, I am finished here, for now. You were anxious to post a response to my compliment on 2/22/2012. Don't run away now! I will NOT just go away and it would be very unprofessional of you to throw me to anyone else. Your 3Cents readers want to know. I want to know. It is time to stop treating your customers like we are ignorant or just right down STUPID! I await our reply before I move ahead with my options. I am handicapped, and I know you do not want to approach any Civil Rights laws.
Greetings again Penny,
We'd be more than happy to address your concerns. Please contact us at email@example.com with the name and address on your account so we can we can take a look at your billing concerns. Please be sure to put "CharterGeorge – My3cents - PennyLayne" in the subject line so I can keep an eye out for it.
Thanks and I look forward to assisting!

Charter is THE WORST service out there! Their customer service should be called "get customers outraged" They talk in circles and don't answer the questions you ask because they SUCK and they are just in business to screw every customer they acquire. I can not give a specific story because I have waaaaayyy too many to get into without my blood pressure rising dangerously high. However Saturday I spent the whole day moving came home and just wanted to watch a movie and relax so sure enough I turn the TV on and my HD channels are pausing every 60 seconds so against my better judgment because I don't think a heart attack at the age of 26 is necessary, I called charter to see if maybe, just maybe, they actually knew what they were doing and could fix something! But once again I was wrong they sent this signal to my box that just took the channels out completely, no picutre, no pausing, no nothing, just black and basically responding by saying oops! So we spoke to a very pleasant manager (she was clearly a faker) she sadi everything we wanted to hear, something we had never experienced with charter before, we informed her we were moving and wanted our cable shut off on Sept 28 and she said she would pro rate it until then and then credit us $50 for our trouble and not having cable Saturday night, then we could return the boxes that week of the 28th... Too good to be true was right! I came home tonight at 9:30 from another 16 hour day and just wanted to lay back relax and watch a show I DVR everyday, well god forbid I get a service I paid for. The HD box in the livingroom was completely out and when I turned the TV on it says "this box is not authorized" so I go into my spare room and hmm that one is working.. So once again I call my favorite company charter and they inform me that on Sat I set up a voluntary disconnect, I said I most certainly did not, explained the whole situation and then asked if I had "cancelled" why do I still have cable in my spare room, well I don't know was there reply.. So I said OK so reconnect it since I didn't do this, well ma'am we can't un-do a disconnect.... hmm OK really well then I'm not paying for this box then if I don't have service on it, and they say well you have to pay for it until you return it, you were just going to return it anyway she said to me!! The nerve of her "YES I was going to return it when it was comvenient for me AFTER I was finished moving which was the week of the 28th which is why I set the disconnect up for that date!! So another super manager gets on the phone with his genius self and says ma'am you have a disconnect date set up for the 22nd (tomorrow) So I said OK well explain to me why if you claim I have this disconnect date for tomorrow which isn't even the case THEN WHY IS MY CABLE OFF TODAY!!! "Well I don't know ma'am was the response I received" So I screamed "WELL APPARENTLY YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT INCORRECTLY SHUT OFF PEOPLES CABLE and you can't turn it back on ! So they say well will you be transferring your service when you move?? I lost in slammed the phone down and came to the computer to finally complain!!!! I HATE THIS COMPANY, THE SERVICE, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! EVERYTHING THEY SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS...... BRING ON COMCAST, CHICOPEE SHOULD NOT HAVE A CRAPPY CABLE MONOPOLY!!!
MICHIGAN -- I have been a charter customer for 2-1/2 years. It started with the phone being disconnected. 3 days after I started my service. They turned it back on 3 days later. And "accidentally" disconnected it again the next week. And again, took 3 days to turn it back on. It lasted another week before they did it again - all of this before I had even received a bill. When I called the 3rd time the operator said "I'm sorry Ma'am, but you don't sound like a Nathan to me" then asked for the security code from my bill to access my account. I told them I had not received a bill yet - they told me that it was mailed that day and that once I received it I could call back to complain that they had turned off my phone. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told he didn't have one - apparently the President answers the phones at Charter. Then he hung up on me. I called back and was again "disconnected". I should have cancelled the service then. Instead I tried to add internet 2 months later. They sent a technician who couldn't figure out how to install it. Then they charged me for a technician visit. And for a month of internet service. When I called to complain, they scheduled another installation. Same problem, still no internet, still got billed for it. They managed to bill me for $75 in service calls and $150 for service to not give me internet service. When my introductory rates expired my bill skyrocketed - which I expected. So I called to downgrade some services, I really only had the 5 MB internet and movie channels because they were free for the year. They explained that if I cancel or downgrade ANY service they would charge me more. I called 8 times before a representative actually agreed to downgrade my service (at this point I had paid another 2 months for service I didn't want). My 9th call I told them I wanted to cancel the service. They explained that they have a "retention" department for that - instead of fixing the problem, they create a new department. The retention department guy (Henry) was very helpful. He downgraded my service, told me that my new bill would be for $124 instead of $190, and apologized for the inconvenience. I returned an extra cable box myself at his suggestion to save a $37 service call to come and get it. I was so happy. Until I got my next bill. For more than $200. Because I got charged for all the movie channels that I cancelled. And the $37 service charge that didn't happen. And a $20 "downgrade" fee. They explained to me that if they don't charge these fees, they won't be able to charge me as much money. Again, I asked for a supervisor, again there isn't one. Then they hung up. I tried live chat, they cancel the session. I finally got a supervisor at Live Chat and requested the contact info for the corporate offices - she gave me a number that goes to a switchboard that requires an extension to get through to anyone. She says she doesn't know the extension. She says to leave a message in the general mailbox and someone will call me back. I ask her for her contact information, in case I have problems getting someone to call me back - she tells me she doesn't know HER OWN contact information either. I asked her, since it took 9 calls to downgrade my service, how many calls it takes to cancel service. "It's hard to estimate how many calls it could take to cancel service.".
Charter Communication has the worst customer service department in the history of the world. They are rude, unprofessional, they lie, they delay, they hang up, and no one speaks English. The customer service reps don't seem to know ANYTHING about their customers or their service. Their supervisors don't seem to know anything about their staff, which is OK since they also don't care. And it is almost impossible to reach anyone outside of their customer service grid of incompetence and lies. I will continue to call the corporate number every day, over and over, and dial random extension numbers until someone answers the phone. Even after I cancel the service.
COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE -- I live in Thompsons Station TN, we are about 10 minutes from Spring Hill and 20 minutes from Franklin TN. You guys (Charter) service my area. We built our new home and moved in November 2012. Half the street has AT&T and half the street has Charter, Our dilemma is that our house is 1425 ft from the road, however my Mother N Law's house is at the end of our driveway and has Charter. We have been round and round with the customer service lines, had technicians out and even went as far to go to the Columbia TN local office to speak with someone and you guys still deem our address unserviceable.
The problem is the line is to far from your guys standard 250ft for you to install it, which was fine my husband volunteered to put the line in himself, as he installed our electric and water line so you guys could install the internet, They refused, OK he then said he would pay you guys to install the line, they told him they don't do that anymore, they used to pay half the cost and the customer would pay the other half but now you guys won't even consider putting the line in and letting us pay for it?????? Not understanding.
The problem with this is my job wants me to work from home, however they will only go through a secure line so I can't use satellite or my current Verizon Wireless router. I could understand this if we lived on the side of a mountain and had to use cups to make telephone calls but that is not the case, We are not in that rural of an area there is a subdivision that backs up to the right of our house and someone has Wi-Fi b/c it dings on my phone every day. So why is it that we offer to pay and or install the line but you guys just refuse to help at all. My mother n law lives at the end of my driveway and has your cable and wireless internet. I just need some help on the matter.

Jackie Chan has a permanent hole in his head from a stunt accident and has been an emergency-room regular, but he continues to perform death-defying stunts to get the perfect shots for his action movies. A passionate advocate for realism in film, he insists that his fellow actors execute their own stunts, too–albeit while wearing plenty of padding. His later films include outtakes of his on-set accidents run under the closing credits. He cannot get insurance in the U.S.

William Shatner has been a staple of popular culture for half a century. He is perhaps best known for playing Captain James Kirk on the 1960s television series Star Trek and in more than half a dozen of the like-titled motion pictures that followed.

Turn on your television anytime in recent years and there he was, holding court on his cable interview show Raw Nerve, cooing over antiques with the History Channel guys on American Pickers, roasting bad-boy actor Charlie Sheen on Comedy Central, reading Sarah Palin's Tweets as poetry parody on The Tonight Show, appearing on the CBS sitcom $h*!
