Our internet here is wojus, so when fibre became available in our area recently we switched to that and I called our current provider to cancel our account.
"Since it's the 4th of the month", she informed me, "and there's a 30 day charge for cancellation, you'll get a bill for 2 months, but since you only owe for 34 days you can call us up again and we'll refund 26 days." "But couldn't you just bill me for 34 days?" I asked, "to save me calling again and wasting another hour of my life?" "Oh no" she said, "that's not the system. Call back next month after you get the bill."
Haha, all those numbers infused me, I'm a simple country boy after all.
Goddamn, those companies are all the same. Can you imagine the brainstorming sessions where those fuckers think this shit up, the policies and all? Fucken hell, I'd like to throw a couple hand grenades in that room!
