Cell phone companies....It's like signing a contract with the devil.
Two incidents that bring me great sadness:
EPISODE 1.
I was having the WORST month. Ever.
And on this day, I was supposed to skitter to NJ, come back to NY, then go to Boston...all in a 12 hr period. Not bad, except that my cell phone was out of juice and the charger was nowhere to be seen (of course...). It's cool. I'll just walk over to the T-Mobile and power myself up for a bit.
I get there. The manager opens fresh Saturday 10am doors. There was hope in the air. Everything was going to be okay.
Except it wasn't. Because I was dealing with a cell phone company (of course...).
This manager, who looked just like Ludicrous, was behaving just like that…LUDACRIOUS!
He refused to charge my phone…he suggested that I can buy a charger…I agreed…..I just realized I lost my wallet…can’t…find...it…anywhere!!!!!!.....I’m begging him now….he looks at me with those cold, beady eyes…”I can’t be doing this back and forth”….”You’re not serious??”….”Oh, I am, it’s store policy. And I can’t keep telling you that”….I stormed out of the store screaming HUMANITY!
Why the F&*K am I spending $70+ a month if my providers of communication can’t lend me 70cents worth of electricity to communicate?!??!
Episode 2.
I recently lost my phone in the mountains. It is probably in the tummy of some bear by now. I wasn’t too keen on hunting down the bear to retrieve my cell phone.
I figured my cell phone company would value me as a customer and give a good deal on a new phone. WRONG.
It doesn’t matter that I’ve spent $1260 padding T-Mobile’s pockets thus far…only the NEW customers…the one’s who’ve spent $0 are the ones that can get the $29 phone.
Watch out suckers…about 13 months from now, when the honeymoon period is over…that same puppy will be 8 BILLION dollars!
I would have had better luck with the bear.
Feel free to share your worst cell phone company story! Let it all out...you'll feel better.
