Here’s the scenario:
An obiviously mentally unstable dude starts freaking out and destroying his house. The cops are called but before they can get there, he grabs a few bottles of pills and runs of into the night, obviously intending to do himself in.
The S.O. arrives and someone having a stroke of genius suggests that they track the man via his cell phone.
Only problem? He’s a little behind on his bill. No problem, right? The sheriff calls Verizon to activate the phone just long enough to find and save this troubled man’s life.
The Verizon operator tells the sheriff that he can pay a portion of the bill if he would like to activate it, but otherwise the guy could take a flying leap off of a bridge. They found the man 11 hours into the search while the sheriff was making arrangements to pay the missing man’s bill.
This is so fantastic, I don’t even need to come up with one of those cynical and smarmy one liners that I utilize to drive my disdain home to the reader.
The Verizon operator must have taken Sales Skill #31 to heart.
Shit. It seems I just can’t help myself.
