Host PC support team frustrates me

Last time when I pointed out that I was having Issues with Host PC - web host provider, I did mention that I got frustrated with their support. I was trying to be patient for 5 long days and finally decided to leave Host PC, when I got - "I don't care what their instructions say" response from Joseph. All throughout the process I never asked for 777 permission, I was trying to understand "acceptable folder permissions for Word Press" and never got any response other than "We would not allow 777".

However, the issue has come back the very next day.

Skip that shower! According to new research, the cleanliness routine makes you dirtier. It even makes you sick.' - published in Metro US, for more info - 'Shower fan? How about a face full of bacteria?.

Out of curiosity, I continued reading and found that it's not the shower that makes you sick but the plastic shower head, which piles up bacteria when left uncleaned.

So do you think should have been different?
