Full of Annoyances
Seems like the last couple of posts, besides the wonderful picture of Coach Dawson, have been annoyances. Well, yet again, I was confronted by one this afternoon.
After forgetting to upgrade my wife’s phone of two years, I finally called Sprint this afternoon to take care of that. Sounds pretty simple right? Wrong.
I call in, and go through about 7 different phone menus, only to get a customer service representative who is barely audible, or to me at least. Maybe I am just going deaf, but as soon as I get put on hold, the music almost makes me deaf, so I don’t think that was the case.
Anyways, after asking for the upgrade, I am then asked if I want to add a phone line to my account. I am pretty sure that we are not going to have anyone else that needs a phone in our family anytime soon, so I had to reluctantly decline. Then, after asking if I own any computers, I am given the option to purchase an a wireless internet plan. While tempting, I had to decline.
Thinking the sales pitch was complete, I exhaled, only to be asked again if I wanted to add an extra line! No. I do not need another phone number. Laura does not need another phone number. Our unborn children do not need a cell phone, and won’t until they are old enough to pay for it. Just please upgrade the phone like I requested and let me on my way.
I think I am getting impatient/grumpy in my old age…
