7. You argue with me and tell me that there's no way you'll buy this phone unless I give you a free accessory with it. (when the only thing that we don't already give is the car charger - buy it, cheapo!)
...
You are holding it upside down. (Sidekick)
You say I just want to make calls but want the big screen.

If your customer is ever looking at a PDA, and intending to use it on a prepaid plan... go ahead and buy drugs from them, because you know that's likely the business they're in.
I know how much we all love the question, "How much dat fone coss on prepay?"
Too much.
Oh, where is MetroPCS(GhettroPCS) when I need them?

You don't have the money for it. I don't give a rat's ass who's buying it as long as the money's good, lol.

If they're getting a PDA on a prepaid plan, they have to pay the "agent actication fee". It's due in cash at the time of purchase, and you never get a receipt.
My personal agent activation fee is $20, and I usually use it to buy myself a sandwich, and then a 12 pack of a nice stout ale after work.

Or as one of our techs likes to put it (he got punched the other day by a customer that he said this to 😳)if the phone is smarter than you DONT BUY IT
...
You don't think insurance is necessary because there is a manufacturer's warranty
...
You think that HTML means HoT Mail Language.
When i ask if you read or edit PDFs and you ask whats a PDF.
You don't understand why they cost more than other phones.

Because your first three questions about the phone had to do with ringtones, listening to your music and watching movies on the PDA.
When the only question you ask is "so what does it do?" or "why would someone want one of these?"
When you see the phone and go "Wow!"
You care how much it costs.
when you're upgrading your motorola v60 for it.
When you decide you're gonna store it in your jeans pocket with your keys.
If you're wearing a flannel shirt.
If you're upgrading your phone and still haven't set up your voicemail yet because it's confusing.

Because you are a pretentious little 9th grader who thinks he knows about phones and is trying to scam your tech-inept mother into getting the phone, just so you can look cool. You tell her you don't need the data package, but we both know you are going to go on the net as soon as her back is turned, and your mom will come in with the next bill, pale as a sheet and hopefully with your decapitated head, because you ran it up with internet use. And that is if you don't get it stolen from some drug dealing senior in high school because you don't have the sense to not show it off the moment you get it.

This is one example:

The other is I just had a guy ask me how to get Papoose as his ringer on a blackberry.

I'm still giggling... geez. I was hoping USCC would get the Q, but now I'm praying that we don't.

whatever #: You want to buy it make it seem like that bulge in your pants is something else.

you don't know what a USB port/cable is.
You have a bullet in the current one and can't wait two days for the insurance replacement, and you're paying cash for the full price on a new one. (This happened with a treo recently.) I have his number still if anyone needs any drugs.
you ask me what the difference between a black(crack)berry and a treo.
you just came in 2 months ago to buy the free phone, and your friend/acquaintance just got a pda from their employer and you want to one up them, so now you want the discount on one because otherwise they are too expensive.
if the deciding factor is what the resolution on the camera is (exception, real estate agents that need it for onsite inspections.) because if that matters, get a st...

You don't know what PDA means!!! You think it mainly used for text messaging. You don't understand that data usage don't equals minutes or that email doesn't equal a message. NO, you can't use a real pen on the screen. Oh, who cares about the operating system when it comes in red. I HATE YOU! DON'T EVEN TOUCH IT!
