Bite Me, Verizon

You take the fucked-up car charger to Verizon, so you can get a replacement. You look around, but can't find one. In reply to the dumbass bitch who is in customer service who asks if you need help, you say, "I need a new car charger like this one," handing her the car charger.

She inquires of you, "What kind of phone do you have?"

You say, "I just need a new charger like that one."

She presses you for an answer, "What kind of phone do you have?"

You ask, "What difference does it make?"

She replies, "Then I'll know what charger you need."

You exclaim, "I need one like that!"

She is unrelenting in her passion, "What kind of phone do you have?"

You decide, "Give me the charger. I'm leaving."

She continues to pound away, "What kind of phone do you have?"

You finally relent, "Samsung Pocket PC."

She gives you that tight-lipped smile that is suppressing a laugh, "This is not the charger for that phone."

You say, "I know. That charger is for my wife's phone. Now, give me the charger so I can go someplace else."

LOL. That's like the lines in one of the Pink Panther movies--

Hotel Patron: Does your dog bite?
Clouseau: No.
Patron pets dog, gets bit.
Patron: I thought you said your dog didn't bite?
Clouseau: He doesn't. That's not my dog.

ROFL - excellent. I wish I could think quickly on my feet. I can't even think quickly sitting down mind you - but quick thinking all round would make my life more hysterically fun.
