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!"

Very true, both sides of the aisles as well as the independents have done their share.

Its easy to do There are way to many cords under the desk and with the improper lighting they tend look alike-- Guess what iI did this past week-end

:oops:

No offense meant!! My apologies. It's just the type of thing that I would do, ignoring my earlier disclaimer. And, yes, there are too many cords in our lives, that's why my DVR isn't hooked into the cable box right now. :|

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.

Relax, you did not say you were perfect, you said you "would never ADMIT to doing it". Those of us with 'delusions of perfection' never ADMIT to anything. (Hint- we're delusional) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think the next Presidential Election Ballot, should have a box labeled, "Anyone Else"! It's a new world, why keep doing what did NOT work?

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.

Tech: OK. Is your printer turned on?

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

You're killing me! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for a good laugh! My husband used to repair computers and had a call from a woman that told him the light bulbs had burned out in her monitor. Worked in a bank!

As Bill Engvall would say "Here's Your Sign!"

Have copied this and am sending it to my friends so they can laugh as hard as I have today

BFW - this is your all-time best post!
