Holy shit.

The Stupid, It Burns!

This sounds like just about every conversation I’ve had with Verizon. This is what one gets when you let people coast through remedial mathematics and call it good enough.

I think I need to lie down now.

We added a cell phone line for my daughter back in August. They gave us one month of some “free” GPS feature. Earlier this month, I went to Verizon to remove the GPS charges. This was the 6th month IN A ROW I had been charged, and the 6th time I had been to the store to fix it!

The manager’s explanation for why we were being charged repeatedly despite her removing the feature months earlier? “It got stuck at the switch.” What the hell is “the switch”? She went as far as calling the imaginary people at “the switch” and proceeded to fake a conversation telling them to turn off the feature that got STUCK AT THE SWITCH! What a bunch of bull.

I’ll let you know if we get charged again this month.

I have no idea what to think of this! You see, I’m pretty math-deficient and math-o-phobic, but even I can recognize the difference between $0.002 and 0.002 cents. Jeez.

At least you got to speak to a human in the same country, not a computer generated voice or someone in a different continent, as usually happens in Australia.
