Buy a Chevrolet, get stalked by XM Radio…

Apparently it is impossible to believe that someone could not want XM Radio. I mean, my car is capable, obviously I would want to pay for radio, who wouldn’t? 4 or 5 months ago I bought a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu that is capable of Satellite radio and came with 3 months of service. It also came with an MP3 player input which I use exclusively, daily and without fail.

I have a 160GB iPod with over 130GB of music on it that completely satisfies my music listening needs. The only problem is that XM Radio is apparently unable to admit that I might not need their service. I just hung up from the dozenth call at least, in which the last 4 or 5 I have been remarkably rude to no avail.

As soon as the poor victim, I mean lady, said she was with with XM Radio I said, “Ma’am, I don’t want XM Radio, I don’t use it, I don’t need it and I want you guys to quit calling me about it.” To which she quickly responded “But we are offering 5 months for $19.99.”

If I am so tired of them calling, and I have refused it nearly a dozen times, why would they still think it’s the cost that’s keeping me from re-subscribing? If you want to argue about cost, get OnStar on the phone to talk about the $60 for 100 minutes of phone service. I would use that but refuse to pay that kind of money for it.

As far as Satellite radio goes, I just don’t want it. I don’t use it, need it or care about it. Please, for the love of God, leave me alone. lol
