#1 Network

I am so thoroughly infuriated right now. ::Author takes deep breaths and counts to ten:: I've been a faithful Verizon Wireless customer since 2000. When anyone ever complained about how terrible their service was, I'd be the first to tout Verizon's reliable network. I like to think I had my hand in converting many T-mobile, Cingular (remember them), and AT&T users. But today...

I sit here typing this post in disgust. What has my loyalty gotten me? Nothing. I walked into a Verizon Wireless store today to resolve my current phone situation. The charger is deformed as a result of dropping it and the phone too many times. I take full responsibility. The following happened today. Please read it while I go sh*t a brick:

VzW: Can I help you?
S.A.: Yeah. Do you sell chargers for this Samsung?
VzW: Yeah.
S.A.: Could you see when my contract is up, so that I can skip spending money on this charger and just upgrade to a Blackberry?
VzW: February 8th.
S.A.: So what can we do?
VzW: Hold on, since it's only a month and you want to upgrade your service (looks at other Eurotrash douchebag who's mad at life because his college degree has him selling cell phones to the likes of me in Midtown and sees Eurotrash douche shake his head). Na. Sorry man.
S.A.: How much for the charger?
VzW: $40
S.A.: [laughing in his face] You serious (thinking I could buy this on the street for $7)?
Eurodtrash d-bag: Do you work in the area? If so 20% off accessories.
S.A.: Don't you think it's doesn't make business sense to make me wait to give you more money? I mean my plan is currently $50 a month and I'm willing to give you $80 a month?
VzW: Our return policy is 30 days.
S.A. So you want me to buy this overpriced charger and return it in 30 days at which time you will give me the credit towards a new phone?
Eurotrash d-bag: Yeah.

Thanks fellas for our little conversation. Instead of ever dealing with you assholes again, I will do something I vowed I'd never do again, buy a Steve Jobs product. You assholes drove me to buy the iPhone, just to spite you both. Despite what you may have been conditioned to think and market, the Blackberry Storm is an epic failure and hardly an answer to the iPhone.

To calm down from this little episode, I'm going to have to smoke Nate Newton amounts of weed: http://archives.cnn.com/2002/LAW/08/20/ctv.penalty.box/
