This one bears repeating here. I had it posted previously in a different topic.
I spent my morning trying to convince my cell phone company that I have an account with them, and that I AM the "Primary Account Holder". They find my account, my number, my payments to them for the last 5 years, but tell me I am not the "Primary Account Holder". (There has never been anyone else on this account.) I pay the bill, (by a bank draft with my NAME on it) but I am not the "Primary Account Holder"! I asked who the "Primary Account Holder" is, and they tell me there isn't one! Arrggggggg! I ask to be listed as the Primary Account Holder", only to be told, "No, we can't do that because we can't prove who you are.", so I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor told me that, without proof, that I am me, "There is nothing they can do."
Arrrggggggg!
*I did get the problem fixed, but just wanted to add - "Heeere's your sign!"

:oops:
Update to this: I've been dwelling on this. I do that when I think I've hurt someone's feelings. Please be assured, that it never occured to me that my using the "plug" post could be interpreted as the poster being an idiot. OMG, that was never my intention!!! And, I'm really sorry if my post insulted anyone. Lord knows, I've done my share of such things.

I just have to add my idiot sighting.
I used to work at an airport in the midwest, where winters are horrible. We were in the middle of an ice storm and had been receiving calls from passengers all day, we were swamped with calls - and a gentleman calls and proceeds to ask me if the airport was flying today, wait for it, I couldn't resist, wait for it, I told him that I would hate to see the size of the aircraft it would take to lift the airport up and fly with it, I immediately started laughing, he did also, it was a great tension reliever.

I didn't color it in with crayons! Needless to say the troubleshooting didn't fix the problem!
