Southern Phone

Posted on January 23, 2012 by KG

are a pack of clowns. I applied for their ‘phone and internet service and finally, three weeks later I got a letter from them telling me that they’ve completed the “assessment process” and they are unable to transfer my service because I don’t have a credit history. I rang and pointed out that I don’t have a credit history because we pay cash for what we buy.
The telebimbo’s response? “oh well, you’re one of the lucky ones and we can’t help you” !!
Evidently, this company sends its staff to Occupy encampments for training….and asking for a cash deposit is just too damn mentally challenging.
(and here’s a clue: “Forty one Australian communities own Southern Phone through their local councils“)

    For some odd reason this popped into my head
    Revelations 13:16-17

    16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

    17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    How very apt…and ominous. We’re getting there, aren’t we?

    Your problem is your not a 22y/o college student,with five maxed out credit cards,$100,000 in student loan debt and six payments behind on your car.If you were your credit score would be 960 and they would be throwing money at you.So you see it’s all your fault :roll:

    Besides,actually paying your debts and attempting to use actual money to do it means your some sort of Neanderthal :lol:

    I suggest not shaving or bathing for a couple weeks and going down to the nearest office with a “I am the 99%” sign around your neck and a $12 cup of Starbucks in your hand to prove your down with the revolution.That should get you a free account and might even earn you a new Ipad :mrgreen:

        Well it does make as much sense as the NINJA loans that sank the economy,NINJA=No Income No Job or Assets here is $300,000 go build a house.

        Cynical?Nah,just pointing out the features of this particular reality that we woke up in as bizzare and utterly twisted it is.

        I still say we all went to sleep and woke up in a Mel Brooks movie :grin:

    Well, you know what they say…a cynic is what an idealist calls a realist. ;-)
