"Your children call you unlce/aunt ***** because you only see them once a month"
"You recognize the model number and the carrier of a cell phone from 200 yards away"
"You can drink your friends under the table every day."

the words "I need to talk to somebody about my phone" make you want to throw up
the ability to tell if a customer is headed for your store/kiosk just by the quality of their cloths

Oh god... and I do recognize the make and model and carrier of a phone from 200 yards away. I actually try to guess from further!

Your ears perk up when you hear the distinctive tone of a Nextel phone keying up.
You can name the manufacturer of a wireless device based on the default ring tone sound.
You hear the phrase "Can you hear me now?" you look around for the Test Drive Man.
Harry Connick Jr.'s voice makes you break out in a cold sweat. Yes, we get it.
All your contacts are no where else except your wireless phone.
Someone asks you the type of RAZR you use, you reply a V3m.

I don't sell wireless service, I do ATS, but so many of those apply to me. I am so glad to know other people sympathize.
...
or when you can tell if it your customer by the sound of the cars. unless they are driving a benz or bmw or high dollar car then you just know they are gonna wanna hustle a deal out of you. dang tightwads
...
The Shop forum of Phone scoop SatansQueen is geared for employees in the wireless service field. What is ATS?
...
I'm gonna make a wild guess...Advanced Technical Support...for a wireless carrier...so she qualifies. you don't have to report her to the moderators!! Since that's what you do best! 🤣 moron... 🙄
...
Wow, Ray is a freaking douche. He should be banned from Phone Scoop just on principle.
...
Shop Talk is open to anyone who works in the wireless industry. LOL! I just was curious what ATS stood for as I've never heard the term before now. The only thing I report to Eric and Rich is blatant violations of the forum T&Cs.
...
I am Advanced Tech Support for Sprint. Its cool, I guess I should have been specific 😛
...
Sweet! Now I know who I can get in touch with regaurding PowerSource and REV A 411. LOL!
