DirecTV moron

So the DirectV dude shows up and the first thing I notice is that he doesn't speak or understand almost any English. Now I'm part Spanish myself so I in no way have anything against Spanish folks but if you are going to work in an English speaking part of town you would think that you would speak more then ten words of English.

So he finds a bad connector in my patio. Just replace the connector right? Wrong he wants to run a brand new cable from my bedroom up to the dish on the roof. In fact he wants to run about fifty feet of cable across my walls, over my ceiling, drilling holes all over the place replacing the cable which is hidden inside of my walls.

I only speak about ten words of Spanish and mostly I know how to ask how much are you spending and what are you into which doesn't do much good when you need your satellite cable fixed by a dude that only speaks Spanish. Anyway after much going back and forth I finally get him to agree to replace just the connector but he cuts so much cable that now it is too short so it is pulled out from the corner hanging out by about a foot from it.

By this time I'm ready to throw him out but instead continue to argue with him that my cable has not gone bad and he just needs to add a short piece of cable which he finally does do.

I now have satellite in my bedroom again which is all that matters but I am wondering how he ever got hired by DirecTV.
