12 things you shouldn't say to a cop

1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. (OK in Texas)
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in. 3.Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
5. Are You Andy or Barney?
6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
8. I pay your salary!
9. Gee, Officer! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around.. That's how far ahea...

This is my last day as a corporate employee. I took a job as an indirect store manager. I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. No more corporate red tape BS. No more of my company working hard against me. Wanting more out of me and paying me less. I can't wait to start selling for myself.

Normally in Telesales we don't have a lot of trouble with people's children other than they occasional screamer in the background but I just had some kids prank calling us.

I wanted to get their mommy or daddy on the phone and give the idiots a piece of my mind. Yes I know kids get into mischief but we were taught (my brothers at I) early on that the phone is NOT A TOY. That pranking people is wrong.

These kids just cost me money, quite a bit actually because not only is my percentage going down because it was another call that was not a sale, so I'm going to make less per sale, but if I go to a low enough percentage they've been sending us home early, so I loose a couple hours of work time as well.

Stupid, irresponsible, ignorant...

"What State is that in?"

"East Texas."

I didn't realize that East Texas was a different state from just regular Texas. Apparently I was confused.

She wanted to set up the line of service in her son's name. She wanted to just give me his social and have me do everything with only his social. She also told me her name was Charles* but was a woman (more than just the voice told me this but I don't want to go into the details, it was sufficiently disturbing a call.) It took her ten minutes to grasp the concept that we needed more than a social and couldn't do it in her son's name without speaking to him, then it turns out he's only 16 anyways. She couldn't seem to get that we needed three forms of ID, including the Social, and a Cr...

Any entry level Cingular sales reps here? If so, what's the base hourly wage?

I had a older man come in and get service with us. while I was setting him up and showing him how to retrieve his voice mail he asked me if he could get porn movies on his phone. i don't even want to think how he will use that.. maybe with a hands free device 🤣

I think I offended him though because I laughed and he did not

STOP LYING TO ME.

i KNOW you can do what i asked you to do, and i KNOW you don't have to transfer me, stop being lazy, and stop arguing with me when i know the system you work off of allows you to do the things i've had done many times before!

I AM A TRUE TEXAN!!!!!

-I can say ya'll ad people think I'm cute for it.

-Everthing is bigger in Texas

-Texas is proud of who they are. I am proud to be a Texan!

-My state is bigger than yours.

-We have the right to bear arms and bear arms we do.

-We can't spit and hit the state right next to us.

-We believe in friendliness.

-The cutest girls (and guys) come from Texas....it's proven somewhere I think. 😉

-Most of us don't ride our cattle to work.

-Sometimes you can wear shorts in the middle of December and a jacket in the middle of June.

-Majority rules....drive a truck!

Now you can send everyone you want into the corporate store! Tell them we will make all thier fantasys come true! We can credit accounts now, we can transfer service, we can do warranty/insurance claims, we can cancel service, we can even return phones past thirty days and make customers who have had thier phones fro 6 months eligable for upgrades! I don't care anymore! 😁 🤣 😛

So I just had this lady come in. Her name is "Wendy" and everyone knows her....except for me until today. She is apparently very high maintnence and if you don't give her what she wants she turns into a total biatch. Ok so she comes to my pod and informs me that she is pissed off and that she needs to pay her bill. She is pissed off because no one warned her that they were going to turn her phone off. Her bill was due on the 5th....um....pay it when it's due. Apparently she has been a customer of ours for 2 years and says that they always warn her first. I told her that they probably got sick of doing it every month and she should probably look into paying her bill on time or calling and changing her due date. (not in those words....it ...

So I had this customer who is a regular....a regular a**hole. He is this big white trash dude who is always rude and talks down to the girls in here. So today he came in because AIM wouldn't work on his 6101. I know that there is a known isse and that if it wont work, something is internally wrong with the phone and he needs to do a warranty exchange. So I begin to tell him this and he keeps butting in and tell me I don't know what I am talking about. He says the phone used to be prepaid but now it is regular service and thats why it doesn't work. The phone got confused. Um.....no. His phone is on a regular account, he has internet access and something is obviously wrong with the phone. So I call customer care so they will tell him t...

just had a cust who bought a phone from me a few months ago then added a line, wanted to be on the lowest plan possible, the next month he realized that he needed more mins and upped his plan in the middle of the cycle then got overage from proration, now he is in my store mad about the "hidden fees" meaning proratioon, and wants to go back to the lowest plan so he can do it all over again

So far it has been a pretty slow day but as I was working on my computer I noticed a lady who had just got done eating at the restaurant next door lay a blanket on the side walk and begin to change her baby. ... out side I cant believe it right on the sidewalk across the street from a wal*mart what won't people do.

I'm just curious if any of you would do this...
(sorry it's kind of a long story)

I was having a great day but not at all busy, especially for the mall I was in. I also had someone else working with me (thats always weird for me). So I had a couple come up 'just looking' They had looked before and checked out a corp. store also. They new they hated their current carrier (I won't mention names) and wanted to pay the ETF to switch to my carrier. They had about a year left under their current contract so it was worth it to them.

They had been looking at the Motorola E815's. The currently owned 2 Motorola V551's. They wanted a family share plan. Now our vendor has been giving us e815's with free BT headsets in the box. The shipment we ha...

When I ask the supposedly better than us customers from the Northeast for their area code & mobile number 80% give me their zip code & then sit there like I should genuflect???

Listen, every place in the world "rules" to its own people. It's great that you're proud of where your from, and like to tout the small things that make your state unique. The only reason I had to respond to sacdude is because he was trying to be a c*ck about it. So for all of ya's that are proud to be wisconsin, pennsylvanian, iowan, texan, and every where else, keep it up, but don't act like you're better than anyone else just cause of your location. I've been to alot of places in this country, and each one is great in its own way. I think the whole, repping my city thing is getting played out. And there's no need to lie about yourself to sound "cool" (imcoolerthanyou) Anyway, I just had a feeling that everyone from everywhere is go...

Wesley ninja strikes back
ATF agents discover guns not preferred weapons for ninja

Ninja vs. Pirate day started as an innocent way to meet people and invite them to the Wesley Foundation, the United Methodist group on campus.

Ninjas were supposed to say, “Hi-ya doing?” while pirates would introduce themselves to students with a “How arrrr you doing?”

Unfortunately for Jeremiah Ransom, the sophomore detained by Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm agents Tuesday, he was introduced to an agent’s knee.

“I have a good bruise on my back where he had his knee on me,” Ransom said.

Camera phone photos submitted to The Red & Black by student Kathleen Ruark showed an AT...
