Words and Verizon

While viewing all the funny pics posted by people on Facebook I came across a remarkable funny photo of a check written to Verizon.  I did a little research to track down the validity of this check...dorking out with a bit of my free time.  I was amazed to find that there was a major issue that brought this about. More importantly there was a recording of his conversation with 2 of the Customer Service Reps.  And even after he was able to clearly show them what was wrong they still refused to accept it.  How willfully ignorant does someone have to be to ignore the obvious.

I find it remarkable that most people overlook simple math errors.  Especially when they amount to so much money.  I'm not a mathematician and I would have overlooked it as well.

I guess I'll be going over my phone contract as well as brushing up on my math skills.  Sneaky Snakes!

A round of applause for this guy though...
