This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Former VZW rep here. Not only is it plausible, it's a weekly occurrence.

My favorite was the guy who didn't want to switch to an unlimited calling plan because that plan didn't have free nights and weekends and friends and family calling.

Now I'm not sure if that will sound as stupid as it really was. Does anyone even remember getting billed for phone calls?

Since I don't have more than 10 friends or family that I call, it was more cost effective not to go unlimited.

But both plans were the same price! At least in this guy's situation.

You should have told him "this one has free calla every day of the week"
