Drunk guy eats his cellphone’s memory

Eaten cellphone X-ray

So a drunk guy walks into a cellphone retailer and says, “My phone hasn’t worked for six months, I want a refund.”* The retailer says, well, who cares what the retailer says; what’s important is what happens next: the guy breaks his defective handset in two, and eats the memory “so no one would get his personal information.” True story, man. Guess that how do you eat an elephant joke also applies to consumer electronics. Too bad this guy hadn’t heard of the World Cellphone Throwing championships, eh?

Why do customers do that ****? wait forever to report that their phone is not working.

I love that excuse... "It hasnt worked since they day I got it" ... If it hasnt worked since the day you got it why werent you in the day after to find out why? You did invest money in the phone and now pay a monthly fee for it... I dont believe anyone is going to continue paying a bill (or at least I wouldnt) for a service that you are not receiving... not to mention the fact that we have the darn 30 day return exchange policy on everything...

sheesh... I love those people...

My friend that had been in the cellular industry for many years taught me a saying "buyers are lyars". I find that to be more true than not true.
