"exceptions that are meant for the disabled "
Since when was the ability to cancel something online meant for the disabled?
Either you or a loved one is disabled, and that's why you're so sensitive (if so, I cut you some slack). Otherwise, I have no clue why you're throwing such a hiss about this. Many businesses (like cable companies) are being complete assholes by making it hard for you to cancel their service. Sometimes you have to lie and act unethically to get back at people like that. Hey, you wouldn't have to if they were ethical in the first place! They started this whole prisoner's dilemma! Me? I would love to cooperate and be honest all the time!
- NullPrefix 8y agoIf more people do this, the scammers may stop supporting this workflow and force deaf users to get their friends to call.
- mynameisvlad 8y agoWouldn't that actually be illegal? Deafness is a medical condition and I doubt "get a friend to do it" would be a suitable accomodation.
- NullPrefix 8y ago>Our workplace is illiterate, thus we cannot process your emails.
- mynameisvlad 8y agoThat excuse isn't going to fly when they get sued for not accommodating a disability. If anything, it'll cause a lawyer to pounce on the case like there's no tomorrow.
- Zhenya 8y agoPretty sure the grandparent comment was missing a /s
- s73v3r_ 8y agoWell, if they're scammers, do you think they'll care?
- mynameisvlad 8y agoThis whole thread is about companies that don't support self-serve cancellation and require you to call in, so the "scammers" here would very much care considering it's companies like Comcast and the like.

- pkaye 8y agoThen we need to deal with the scammers.
- Semirhage 8y agoThen in Europe, the US and Canada at least, they’ll be in violation of various laws and open to be sued.
- SerLava 8y agoI hope they do, and then they can get shut down.
- mehrdadn 8y agoNot going to comment on whether I have loved ones who are disabled since its really nobody's business here and I don't need anybody "slack", but in any case, I wasn't "throwing such a hiss about this" -- I was asking if it was legal, and if you actually read the rest of my comments, you'll see I explicitly acknowledged that the other side's practice is scummy and that lying to 'get back at people' seems like potentially the most legitimate argument people are making here. Everyone else seems to be raging over this rather than me, so it's weird to give me the credit for it. The companies' practice angers me too; it's not like I'm on their side. But if I'm providing an outlet for everyone's anger then I guess I'm... glad to be of service?
