Mass Consumerism - 2006/12/21 22:11
As i sit here waiting for vodaphone
to answer the phone (they have been asking me to hang on now for 15 mins and 45 seconds), my call is important, don't forget....by the way this is the lost and stolen phone line....not just the "Can you tell me what credit I have left) My phone has not been lost or stolen but I have tried to ring these bastards before.....futile!!!
So, today, I thought that I would circumnavigate the system. You see this is my problem. I called my Father to wish him a Merry Christmas. Now my father and I only get in contact if I initiate it. So, any way I thought, what the hoo, I will give the old boy a call and pretend that we are close and all that. So...I get the msg that I only have $4.00 of credit left, well, I think to myself, that ain't gonna do it. What happens if we happen to connect for the first time in 20 years and he actually wants to TALK?????
As you can imagine the first thing I did was to get off my big butt and high tail it to my nearest 7/11 to go and get a top up card. I like the vodaphone $49 maxi cap as it gives me $230 worth to use in 30 days.
All well and good. However the problem is this...
I still had $4 and something cents left when I topped up. So, naturally I thought that I would have $234.00 and something cents.
Hmm, imagine my suprise when that $4.00 just disappeared.
I have now been on hold to vodaphone***the lost and stolen line for 26 mins and 7 seconds, yes I am timing it. Because my, like, call. is after all very important, or so they keep reminding me every 5 mins or so.
This is not the first time these losers have ripped me off. And I really want someone on line to vent to, even if I know that my $4.00 is gone. BUT, where did it go????
I am struck by the fruitlisness of this world or at the very least the very apatheticness of it.
It is now 30 mins and 52 seconds but I am still important to vodaphone(wankers)
Any one else?
