I was in the Cingular store the other day here in the East Bay. I was curious about Cingular's plans, when a helpful young lady came over to answer some of my questions.
Her: Hi, can I answer any questions for you?
Me: Yeah, I'm thinking of moving to Cingular.
Well let me just tell you a bit about our plans. We are like, one of the biggest carriers in the United States.
(There are only 4.)
And we have like, free calling to anyone within our huge network. And there are like, a million people in it.
(A million, that's a lot.)
So, like, when you make a call, you have like, a one in four chance of calling someone in our network.
(That's some quick math.)

you may want to get that in writing. i'm thinking there are more than 4 mill cell phone users in the us. but, lets say i'm wrong, maybe cingular has more than 25% of the cell phone users in this country.. knowing our system you could sue them for under-promising the percentage. 'like', let's say there is a 35% chance of a free call. Also, this chance depends on you calling random people which we all love to do from our spendy cellies. heck that could pay for yoru phone bill for the next 3 years (if you don't go over minutes)!

Futon....If you do go with this spectacular deal. Don't call me...for one, it won't be a free call, and two...a call to Mexico is mucho pesos!

I was just thinking about writing a post regarding how much I hate people that use the word "like" in every. single. sentence. Those people need to be kicked in the baby-maker.
Actually I thought this post was gonna be about something else when I started it. Every time i've been into Best Buy asking about different cell services, they ALWAYS direct me towards Sprint/Nextel saying it's the best company, and how much the rest suck. Seems the other companies would be rather upset if they knew this was going on.
Great site btw.
