Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted December 25, 2006 I think that one's real. I heard an audio clip of that guy arguing with the phone company over being charged .002 cents vs. .002 dollars. http://verizonfails.ytmnd.com/ I loved this ytmnd, but the main problem there was that Verizon didn't realize that they were really talking about dollars, not cents. Obviously. And the guy, having worked in customer service before, was being a bit of a smartass about it. Point in case: I have Sprint, and I recently got charged about $100 in internet usage which led to my phone unexpectedly getting turned off a couple mornings ago. I don't have a landline, so this is pretty important. Apparently they charged me for the dreaded internet usage as well, I'm sure using a similar system. What had happened was that I had picture mail already on my account (I send and receive a ton of pictures from friends, but this month was much more than usual because of my drive across the country) but I was getting charged anyways for sending and receiving (which is internet usage) which led to being charged something similar per kilobyte, blahblahblah. Anyways, I just got on the phone with them and worked a solution and asked if they could just give me a service credit for staying with them, and they gave me a $125 credit right then and there and fixed whatever was wrong with picture mail. That's that. I didn't need to be a smartass about it and tell them that they were charging me the wrong amount, or that they didn't know math, etc. etc. or GOD FORBID *POST THIS ON MY BLOG*. That's the most retarded threat I've ever heard in my life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 Verizon could actually sue the guy for recording the conversation if Verizon wanted to be bastards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 Well, if he notified them they are being recorded and they continued he should be ok. I haven't actually listened to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IllustriousOne 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 Most customer care calls with phone providers are always disclaimered with a "This courtesy call may be recorded blah blah etc." for the caller, right? I bet if it came up, dude could just turn the wording around on them maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2006 Ya then Verizon is screwed. But the moment anything is being recorded, you are to disconect the call or freeze the account (which we did at Capital One) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 1, 2007 Yeah, I moved before graduating college. Although I'm pretty unstable and hated Miami, so that's a given. Although I hope to be in New York for a little while myself, if I get accepted to NYU, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
