When I was working as tech support I had a caller who wanted to cancel services. She said the guy had shot himself in the head that morning and would not need the service any longer. I thought it was kind of odd that she (his Aunt) would think to call to cancel cable TV and etc right away. Either she was just out of her mind/ upset or really wanted to save every penny.
