I tend to ramp things up pretty quickly if I think I'm getting 'the run-around' and mostly it works but when it doesn't I'm left seething and powerless, so I always then take a nap to clear my head!

> I tend to ramp things up pretty quickly

Unfortunately, that isn't possible in may cases. I'm currently dealing with a warranty denial of service perpetrated by a very well known appliance manufacturer, formerly reputable, some people would call it iconic, with a name that reminds of water moving in circles.

They ghost, they lie, they gaslight, they promise and never deliver. After a couple of months of said gaslighting, I'm absolutely certain that kind of behavior is trained throughout their service department, every person without exception that I get in contact with does the same maneuvers.

Without competition from Chinese manufacturers, the formerly ironic brands have devolved into a corporate dystopia. Why wouldn't they, we're trapped.
