  When I called up Time Warner Cable, a representative said to me, out of nowhere, "I wish Bin Laden were still alive..." #timewarnercable

  .@TWC_Help especially the last technician who literally left after shaking his head and saying, "Dat's fucked up."

  @TheColinJost We're very sorry for any negative experience. Is there anything we can do to help? ^MG

  .@TWC_Help or the representative with the ID number 2254 who just offered to credit my account for eighteen dollars and seventy five cents.

  .@TWC_Help or the 4th technician who came a month ago, tried five different cable boxes, then genuinely suggested that I get @VerizonFiOS

  .@TWC_Help Yeah good call let's try to keep this private. (whispered) "One of your technicians showed me his penis."
