I don’t like anything spur of the moment and I don’t like unannounced visitors. I scared off Jehova’s Witnesses such that they’ve never gotten anywhere near my house in ages, and I usually don’t answer the door.

And yet, for some reason I did that today, and before I knew it, had a home security system installed. A security system which, after actually reading the fine print (they never make that easy to do during sales pitches) I have literally cancelled not an hour after the damned thing was installed. Probably a cancellation record.

The company in question is Platinum Protection, and the Google search results are not very keen on that company. Apparently, they’re of the fly-by-night variety. The funny thing is, their unannounced visit actually did get me thinking about home security, and after they rip out the mediocre (from the reviews I read) system they shoved into my house, I’m going to research some legit brands, and get a real security system/service set up.

So, thanks, Platinum Protection, for making me think about getting a security system with one of your reputable, big-name competitors.
