Repair Tech: "Well you did all that I was going to do"

Yup, that's what he said when he came by & I told him about my TV problems & how I unplugged it and pugged it back in.
Me: "Isn't there anything else you can do to ensure that this does not happen again?"
(NOTE TO SELF: 'ensure' may be considered a big word - or misunderstood as a brand of dietary supplement.)
Tech: "Nope, with these TV's all you go to do is unplug them when they act up"
Me: "What if it does the same thing again"
Tech: "Unplug it"

And for that I got the 4 year extended warranty?
[insert crude profanity to express my displeasure over how this problem was not solved to my satisfaction]
