I had a sales girl call me, trying to get me to subscribe to the Houston Chronicle. I told her I wasn't interested and she came back with, "Can you do it for me?" in this soft, pleading, and yet flirty tone.

I laughed. I mean, really, a complete stranger asking me to do something for her, as if she somehow mattered to me or that I'd care about making her happy. I wonder if she got anyone else using that line...

Actually, I believe most telcos will now reduce your monthly rate if you call in and threaten to cancel service (assuming you aren't under contract).

So a dirty whore made you feel like a dirty whore... how interesting...

I'm saving about 60% on my cable/internet/phone because I called in and told them I was switching to the other provider (which I actually planned to). They put together an amazing package for me with 15mb internet, huge tv package including HD channels, and a phone line with unlimited North American calling and 500 minutes to anywhere in Europe.

Then they threw in a free HD PVR for me as well, for telling them the exact package their competition was offering me. Not bad, I'd say.

Maybe later, I'm busy watching previously recorded HD episodes of NCIS

With cable/telephone/cellular/internet companies it totally pays to whine a little!
