@GE_Appliances The metal on the knobs is of terrible quality and most of the knobs don’t stay on any more, and when we use them it’s not always clear if they are turning the valve. So we have a few knobs left that work and we just swap those. Looks terrible and guests laugh at our kitchen.

@GE_Appliances hi my son is making pancakes on our 3yr old Cafe series. Can you let me know if there’s a risk of explosion because it sparks on its own?

[Michael Smit @msmit]

@GE_Appliances Thanks but we’ve already had it serviced 3 times in 3 years of having it. And they want to charge for a diagnostic first, it would be cheaper if they just moved in and we fed and housed them.

Anyone else wondering if their fancy @GeneralElectric Cafe series is going to explode or burn down the house? Always sparking away by itself on burners that we aren’t using…

@espn Why did @netflix have a boxer fighting a tourist?

@TELUSsupport what is the point of asking for a callback when the callback just puts me on hold for an hour plus? And why do you only have 3 songs? Ooh la la la la

[Michael Smit @msmit]

@CityofVancouver so you're telling me that stopping for kids on the street is a $225 fine? Can you explain what the alternative is?

@MavsHighlights @RaidingTexas Did he want them to walk home?

@TransLink Northbound and Southbound buses at Cambie / 17th both ran red light at 9:02am. Nearly got me on my bike, SB guy swerved to stop. It's a bike route for 3 elementary schools. Happens often, first time seeing the 2-bus meatgrinder. Maybe schedules aren't that Important?

@Shawhelp When Shaw says "no surprises"... what they actually mean is "SURPRISE!"

[Michael Smit @msmit]

@Shawhelp 4/ @TELUS can you help? We don't have many options in Canada and I need to resolve this with as little disruption for my family as possible.

[Michael Smit @msmit]

1/ Update on @shawhelp fiasco. They have turned off the email account for my 83-year old mother, who needs it for EVERY important account she had with my father. Shaw Customer Service told her to signup for gmail and call all of her important accounts to change access details.

[Michael Smit @msmit]

@Shawhelp 3/ Moral of the story: if your parents are aging and use @Shawhelp , get them away from this terrible company as soon as possible (and check their bill too... they charge my mum 2x what I pay Telus for maybe 10% of the service spec)

[Michael Smit @msmit]

@Shawhelp 2/ Then... They made her phone number ANONYMOUS so her friends don't answer as it looks like spam, and family numbers in Europe won't even process incoming calls. @shawhelp still happily sends the bills along despite being in egregious breach of delivery of service.

[Michael Smit @msmit]

@Shawhelp so your policy is to turn off shaw email access to 80+ year old widows after their spouse passes, when the most important things EVER are being managed over that email. Worst possible time to turn off their electronic comms. Terrible approach. Archaic policy.
