cable rage

The incomparable rage that one feels when dealing with the cable company, when they repeatedly put you on hold for 20 minutes then cut you off, when they cancel a reapir visit after calling your office number to confirm a 7 am visit to your house when you told them to call home, when they tell you to stay home from work for an 8 hour service window because they can't accomdate your weekend request for a month.

Similar to road rage but perhaps a bit less likely to be lethal.
I am in serious cable rage after dealing with those monoploy shitheads at the cable company for the 5th time in the past two weeks. If I could get my hands on some of them right now, ther term 'going postal' might be replaced by 'going cable'.

Cable Monkey 

The guy that works on (either by career "choice" or involuntarily volunteeered) or pulls cable runs for networking or telco purposes. Often times they are dressed similarly to your typical auto mechanic and tend to have their heads poking up in the ceiling veiling a vacant expression. They often have similar IQ levels and low brow personalities as your typical auto mechanic.
1) Pulling cable doesn't take much intelligence... a monkey could do it.

2) We need some cable monkeys to add some more cable drops. Joe, you get to breathe some asbestos!

Cable Core

Cable Core
cxc
It compromises of being yourself, but also seeing conformity
and not trying to blatantly be different. Usually consists of
a shy person who is different in many ways, typically in how
they act and dress. They do not belong specifically to one
group or click, but take virtues from some of them and on
occasion may be put into one of these more known groups.
One usually has very diverse moods and can be extremely happy,
though many may not know because when one is shy they tend
not to express themselves that much; depressed, setting
themselves even further from the norm and occasionally being
very violent. Also, one must also have a feeling of hopeless love
that no one will ever love them while they try hard to express
feelings, they have no way because of their shy nature. While
lovestruck or depressed, which usually tie hand in hand one will
usually write poems and collect them together. Occasionally
showing them, but always very shy about it and concerned that
they will never be good enough. Overall, one has a very low self
esteem and always thinks themself not good enough for anything
and this is typically heightened by the lack of phone calls,
text messages, or people talking to them. Cable core is derived
from ones self and usually is very unique but is not trying
hard to be unique or different, it just happens that way because
that is how one is.
That guy is not emo, he's cable core.
