Every month since January, we have had issues with our cell phone bill. We traded in phones for steep discounts. Instead of applying the credit and dividing the remainder into 30 installments, they charged the full original amount of the phone and deduct a portion of the credit each month. Also, they have removed the ability for an early payoff. Following along on their accounting nightmare has been the opposite of fun. Every month I call and every month, they “fix” the error only to have the error occur again.
I must be better about hiding my irritation because today, this is what I was told via chat. J with nameless provider:ย I must admit that you’re one of the most polite and understanding customer I have chatted with today. Thank you so much. Ha! You’ve no idea sir. Then the rat bastard tried to sell me two Apple watches with $200 in promotional savings. Uh bite me! You can’t even get basic billing correct; I’m not buying anything else from you. Ever! Though a teeny tiny piece of me feels bad you had to work today.
Ok, back to our 4th of July festivities. Hotdogs and brats on the grill with fun drink combinations from Sonic. That’s what we call livin’ on the edge.
As always, more to come.
It’s the same on this side of the pond! …. The thing here is you always speak to a call center in either India or worse Scotland! Half the conversation is , pardon, what, say again, sorry I can’t understand you!
What are brats….in this country they are badly behaved children….we are not allowed to cook them!

Brats are short for bratwurst sausages. We’ve got the other kind of brats here too and still not allowed to cook them ๐

Oh my goodness don’t you just wonder who does their jobs anymore!! I have been dealing with “oh it’s fixed, again, sorry for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience” only to have it happen all over again seems like with everything.
