    Verizon Math

    This video is not only outrageously hilarious but also mind-bogglingly sad. I don't know how this man managed to remain so calm. And this is just a snippet from his call! The full thing went on for 45 minutes.

    I love how the woman tries to write off her mistake as a difference of opinion...

    Difference of opinion. Lol my opinion is that the sky is actually green.

    This is why you always check all of your bills before just paying them.

    No. I'm reasonably certain that's legit. After watching that I found the full conversation as well as a number of e-mails between the guy and Verizon.

    Initially Verizon offered to cut him a 50% discount. He didn't accept. In the end they just wrote off the entire fee. What's even more frightening, though, is the fact that according to this guy many, many people are being quoted the same thing. If someone had the inclination a class action lawsuit could be initiated.

    did any of the customer service reps ever concede by the end of the phone call i wonder? i can understand why they would get mixed up initially if new on the job, there is a hell of a difference of course, but thats how the company are selling the product i guess. they should just be honest and say it's $0.002 which it's obviously meant to be (altho saying that i don't know how much a kilobyte should be worth). it is funny tho that it went as far as it did.

    There's a cheque the guy wrote to them. Seen it?
