omaewokorosuJust a note: This entry has been backdated so that it's posted on the day of the incident; this was actually written on 7 October.
Soooo what is this TV remote thing, you might ask? WELL.
The remote for her Spectrum cable box stopped working. Why? No idea. Was it a dead battery? Did it just stop working? No idea. She didn't elaborate and Serena didn't care enough to ask. She just wanted to know if we had a spare Spectrum cable box remote.
We used to have our own cable box up here but we haven't had that for like...a year. And we gave them all the equipment we had (cable box, remote, whatever else) because what good would it do us? Nothing. Did she expect us to just have a random fucking remote around? I guess so!
When we got home, the Spectrum truck was parked out front (thus taking up my parking spot, because why would I ever be able to park in front of the house I reside in), so we knew Egg had given them a ring to cry about how her remote wasn't working. We parked in the back and went inside...where Egg proceeded to have the following exchange with Serena and Aleks (who was fronting):
So Serena stood out in the hall as Egg went on about how her blood pressure is high and things like this are the reason why and Serena said that "every time I hear your voice, my blood pressure rises."
I don't know if it was a battery issue. I don't know if it was the remote no longer working. But the guy did a remote reset of everything (meaning we lost phone and internet) and I don't know if that fixed anything or it was just part of troubleshooting but [shrug].
One thing Egg mentioned was how awful the batteries we got her are, how they're useless and how she should just throw them in the trash because they're all dead. They're Amazon Basics batteries because to me a battery is a battery is a battery, you know? And Serena heard it. So later when we went down to make dinner Aleks made sure to collect the batteries that were still in the package. She can buy her own batteries - these ones are technically mine since they're my Subscribe & Save. So we just took them all back. Because fuck you. Buy your own fucking batteries.
Oh also I tested all of the batteries with the battery tester we have and only one battery was completely shot (a 9V) and a few aren't at full charge anymore but they're still usable (for now) (again all 9V) soooo.
You're gonna act ungrateful then guess what? I'm going to take those things away because clearly whatever I got you wasn't good enough for you so you can fucking get whatever batteries you want now, Eggiekins!
Heads up to Aleks today. Dr. 🥚 Is gonna be asking you if you have the remote for the tv upstairs. No idea why. She asked me if I knew which I shortly answered along the lines of she's gonna have to ask you cause I don't know. Not my tv.

Egg: So the Spectrum guy is gonna have to go upstairs and switch out the modem.
Serena: Why?
Aleks: We just got a new modem not that long ago; what does that have to do with her remote not working?
Egg: [starts freaking out] I don't know! I don't know anything about these things! All I know is he said he's gonna need to go upstairs and do something with the modem! That's why I'm so glad you came home when you did because I wouldn't know what to do or how he would get upstairs!
Serena: [snaps fingers] Hey, [Egg], you don't need to talk over me and throw a tantrum over something so menial.
Aleks: What does this have to do with her remote???
Serena: [pushes Aleks along] You go into the bedroom with our stuff and I'll stay out here and wait for the guy to come back.So Serena stood out in the hall as Egg went on about how her blood pressure is high and things like this are the reason why and Serena said that "every time I hear your voice, my blood pressure rises."
