So far I've had customers request putting phones in their:

1 underage children's names
2 Dead brothers name
3 22 y/o cerebral palsy victims daughters name (a girl who couldn't speak... at all.)

The last one happened today and took the cake.

When I was a Cable TV Technician I used to see this alot. I remember one that I went to their apartment to hook up the cable and I asked if "the person who name is on the work order" was here. The Lady said yes and I asked If I could speak with him and she said ok. called him into the Living room and it was a 10 year old boy. I explained to the lady that I could not have some one under 18 sign a service agreement. She was extemely mad.
My thoughts are JUST BECAUSE YOU RUINED YOUR CREDIT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD RUIN YOU KIDS CREDIT. They should be able to ruin their own credit just fine with out your help.

LOL....

I ask my customers to try that when I try to sign them up for TV service. But obviously I tell them it has to be with their permission and they have to be 18.

Those examples you two gave are 🤣

I see a lot of accounts that say 'estate of', but the customer gives me the dead account holder's name and expects me to believe them. Sadly, if they have the security information, I have to pretend; even if we've verified proof of death.

I have a few to add:

-a 16 year old kid who wants to add his GF to his mother's plan.
-Had a customer who wanted me to set it up in MY name (they swore to pay me every month and bring me beer)
-Customer's who refuse to give me a social, but want 2yr pricing on phones.

Free beer just for accepting somebody else's financial liability?

Score!

I like a nice IPA.

Or hemp-brewed beer, those are surprisingly good as well.

Finally, somebody who's not like "What's an IPA?"

I said that once and somebody said "Oh, I only do legal drugs".

Me: 🤨

I like a good ipa, but I have to be in the mood for it.

My favorites are ales:

Chimay, this local brewery, and a few others.

But my "go to beer" when I'm out with people is either the sam adams seasonal, or Killians.

Have you tried Sam Adams Cherry Wheat? That ish is the bomb. Rather overpriced lately, though. ☹️

Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA is the top of the line. You should try it.

That one's not bad. But if the place serves dogfish head.. I love their Midas Touch.

I do like Killians now and again, but for some good beer you need to get a hold of some from the Great Lakes Brewery. I look forward to the Christmas Ale every year. It really does taste like drinking Christmas. 😁

I've tried their Christmas Ale, it is good.

The Blue Moon seasonal "Full Moon" and "Harvest Moon" are good winter beers as well.

But this is fall.. so you gotta have some Woodchucks!

Fall = Oktoberfest.
Sam Adams is always good, Capital Brewing (Middleton WI) is another fine example. Of course, the classics are Hacker-Pschorr adn Spaten. Sehr Güt!

My favorite seasonal beer is the summer seasonal Loft by the New Belgian brewery. It's the one with the kite on the lable, but I haven't seen it in a couple of years.

I'm in Colorado and brew my own IPA (90 minute or double hopped). I'm not sure that I sould sign on to some slackers contract in exchange for the best IPA though 🙂
