OK. Moved phone provider to someone who gave unlimited data use in the USA because I'm going to Pittsburgh next week. Looks like they screwed me up and put me on an expensive data package - something which I didn't know becaue that part of their website has been down in the 24 hours since I activated the sim.But in less than one day I burned through £30 of data. If I hadn't phoned them to check up on my usage this could have quite literally have cost me thousands with my trip abroad.Hopefully thats all thats going to go wrong.

It's not entirely their fault. I get balky and pissy dealing with unexpected complications. When my landline service was shut off due to nonpayment of my bill, I thought I could just pay by phone and have it turned back on. Instead I had to make a whole new account, complete with a new number, and I had to be walked through endless steps and procedures, and after almost an hour I was losing my temper a bit. So it's partly their being obstructionist assholes, but also partly my being a change-averse cranky spaz.

You have just described my interactions with every company that has ever had the pleasure of me being their customer.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

I won't even go into the Verizon saga. I'm a bitch, but they are idiots. One is a curable disorder, the other is not.
