Absolutely! I am a new user of Netflix. When they didn't ship the first DVD in my que despite it being listed as "available" I called to ask why. The customer service rep told me to "read the f-ing terms of service". Well, I had, but there isn't anything in there about them not shipping an available DVD. So, I went on the Netflix Communities to ask what was going on. Unfortunately, i found that the Netflix Communities are populated by - you guessed it, Netflix customer service reps who like to have another chance at yelling at customers. At least they did explain - in between nasty name calling and 4 letter words - that their system doesn't always work so well. Then they told me that it's only $16.00, as though it wasn't my $16.00 I was paying. Can't imagine I'll use them anymore.

What are you on about? "Representatives"? You mean there's more than one?

I called Netflix four times this past week and got the same damn guy every time. I swear it's just run out of this guy's basement.

Another red flag is that he pretended not to remember me as if he were a different guy, but four people with exactly the same voice and the same first name is about as red as a flag gets.
