Stooks the negotiator

Not to be confused with the hit movie starring Samuel L. Jackson.

Last year, I switched to T-Mobile. After I signed up, Sprint PCS did everything but get on their knees (for various reasons) to keep me. I could’ve gotten the world from Sprint if I had threatened before switching.

Well, it’s time again. For the first time in my life, I went over the minutes in my plan. My bill is usually about $50, but jumped to $194.17. Apparently you do a lot of talking on the phone when you’re unemployed. Go figure.

So I tried to threaten T-Mobile.

It didn’t take.

I figured I’d be talking to some sympathetic woman resembling Michael Douglas’ wife.

Instead, I was greeted by a guy whose voice resembled Dennis Leary’s squawk.

Not so sympathetic.

Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow. Let’s just hope Zeta-Jones picks up the phone this time.

  1. I had a $225 bill one time for going over my minutes. Not to be outdone, I quickly signed up for unlimited Tmobile to Tmobile minutes for an extra $7/month. Now, I am taking full advantage of them by racking up easily 1000+ minutes per month that are all Mobile to Mobile. They are eating humble pie now.

  2. Sorry, I forgot this in my last post….

    YOU WANT MY BLOOD, TMOBILE?!?!?! TAKE IT!!! TAKE MY BLOOD!!!! –Modified Samuel L. Jackson quote from The Negotiator.

    By the way, somebody just farted near my desk at work and it really smells. I’m outta here.
