'Good riddance. Or so I thought': Guy struggles to cancel cable subscription, company won't stop calling after he disconnects service

Canceling a subscription can feel like one of the great Sisyphean tasks of our time. It can also transform you into the kind of irate customer you always thought you could never become.

I distinctly remember trying (and failing) to cancel my internet after moving in with my partner. However, because the account was established in my former roommate's name, I was unable to cancel it myself.

Although I was a primary account user, I still was not allowed to cancel the account because I hadn't started it. In short, it was madness, and while I eventually did get it canceled in time, I do not wish this experience on anyone.
