Makin' the pizza

@therealtyehill - FYI, someone named George sent me a rental agreement for what I assume is your music studio. I told them they sent it to the wrong person, but you might want to reach out to them.

Best wishes,
Tye Hill

Quick correction, it’s been almost 2 months, not quite 3. And a couple more details:
- 3 weeks ago they messaged us “we issued a refund” and closed the case. But no refund.
- wks ago they “escalated” our case, which doesn’t actually allow us to talk to anyone. Radio silence.

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

For the 2nd time @vrbo has straight up stolen thousands from me. They’re a scam, with no buyer protection
We’ve been trying to cancel a trip for almost 3 months and customer services keeps saying “the refund has been processed” but it hasn’t and the trip isn’t canceled either

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

FYI @ConsumerReports @BBBTriCounties - @vrbo provides zero protection to consumers, please look at my recent tweets. This is now the second time they’ve stolen our money. And not a little, the first time I believe it was more than $2000 (this was a few years ago), this time $5k+

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

They also say “contact the owner” but the owner says “I try to cancel it and get an error.” We’ve paid in over $5000 including an absurd $3000 security deposit and it feels like they have no intention of ever refunding us.

I’m so done with @vrbo

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

The first time, a seller pulled a scam on us. Tried to get us to pay via Cash app and when we didn’t they canceled our $2k booking and never refunded our money. @vrbo refused to assist. We tried to reverse the charges on our credit card, but VRBO convinced them not to refund us!

@Mixbook I hate going to twitter to complain, but sometimes companies like @mixbook just ignore you unless you "make a bunch of noise." I will absolutely be looking for a better option next year. I don't like being treated this way.

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

Just had the most frustrating experience with @Mixbook. Their books are great but customer service is abysmal. They sent us someone else's books (again) and when I contacted they they said they'd send replacements, but they didn't. I had to contact them again! Almost 1 month late

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@Mixbook Then the customer service agent is like, "we're going to make this right by rushing your order to you by January 19. Rushing? And that makes it right? Outrageous. These books were gifts and they're almost a month late. I barely even got a "sorry." This does not "make it right."

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@jeffbakalar Oops. That sounded weird. I meant it “IS” worth the effort to try and find those episodes. Sorry if it sounded dismissive. Heh.

Anyway. Looking forward to those streams!

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@jeffbakalar so I spent 5 hours at the Seattle Pinball Museum on Thursday and it’s my new obsession. I know I’ve heard you talk about several of the games I played. Do you know how I can go back and listen to some of your pinball opinions? Like which episodes? Tall ask, I know.

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@jeffbakalar Ahh. Probably worth the work to go back and find it. Thanks anyway!

Off the cuff, any thoughts on the recent Ghostbusters, Godzilla, Willy Wonka, and Godfather cabinets? I really enjoyed Godzilla and Ghostbusters. Willy Wonka was super hard. I thought the Godfather wasn’t good.

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@binge_mode okay look. I know you’ve moved on to Marvel, but I need you to explain everything going on in the Mandalorian this season. Help me Binge Mode, you’re my only hope.

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@colinbendell The improvements to the Blink home bridge project are impressive! Well done and thank you so much!

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@ToolboxProApp A shortcut that ran without needing interaction from me is now asking me to confirm the “toolbox pro” action. Do you know what happened? Or what I can do to get the iOS 13 behavior again? This is the “Create image from text” action.

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@ArmyTenMilerATM I just called the office, they told me that they made a mistake with the date. You might want to let everyone know that they actually have until 18 October 2020, 11:59 PM or 19 October 2020, 12AM. Not sure what the actual cut-off would be.
Also, you might want to fix the website

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@ArmyTenMilerATM So does this mean that I can't run on Sunday? I have to do my run by Saturday?

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@iryantldr Great, thanks for the input! I enjoyed the review.

[Tye Hill @tyehill]

@hillimpact @Lowes It’s not Lowe’s, it’s XPO. They rescheduled my delivery twice without telling me and then they broke my $2500 TV anyway.
