Telecommunications and Hampster Tipping

So I thought I'd had it bad lately with dealing with phone companies. Amos and I bought a cell phone for my mother from a Bell store in Victoria, only to find out that it didn't work because they were having a glitch with certain numbers. We only found THAT out after hours spent on hold of course. Then, when my mother returned the phone they credited HER VISA instead of mine, so she knew how much we had spent. At work I had to return some equipment to telus, and spent hours on the phone to every department eventually being told to go down to the main Telus store. I did, and they put me on the phone again, since they don't take back commercial equipment. This was all very frustrating, but nowhere near as socially irresponsible as what I heard on CBC this morning:

A man belted his 10-month old child into his carseat this morning, and went back inside to get his three year old, and lock the door. When he turned around his car was gone. The police wanted to use the GPS signal from his car phone to track down his car, but when they called Sprint to do so they were informed that they needed to "fill in an application and send in $25.00" before receiving the information. They even got it on tape.

I've decided that as far ahead as we feel we've got with sidekicks and blackberries and TV on our phones, that not only do we not need any of that shit, but it's actually dragged us backwards. I mean, seriously, what the fuck?

OK that was enough of the unfunny stuff, back to the usual...

How could anyone do this? I thought bonsai kittens was bad, but this is horrible!

Thanks to cute overload for the pic. That site is just mean....

Anyway, I've got other crap to write.
