Absolutly ridiculous.
A guy gets quoted 0.002 cents per Kilobyte, but they charge him 0.002 DOLLARS per Kilobyte, and he tries to explain to them that he was charged incorrectly, but multiple people of Verizon assert that 0.002 CENTS = 0.002 DOLLARS.
Honestly, I have no word for people like these except - f'ing retards.
The SUPERVISOR at the end can't even figure it out, she says "I dont have a math degree sir", well apparently you don't have a high school education either you idiot
Stupid people make me angry.

[Waser Lave]

Lol, it's not even maths it's just currency...those people must be so stupid.

He should just pay his bill in cents...and then say that they are the same as dollars.

Here's his blog, man I hope someone in Verizon hears of this and reprimands those tards. Just like that AOL phone call.

It's so sad to see people that don't understand something so simple.

Consumer:Let me start off with a basic question. Do you recognize there's a difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents?
Manager: .002 dollars
Consumer: Do you recog
Manager: and .002 cents?
Consumer: Yes, do you recognize there's a difference between those two numbers?
Manager: No.

I'd just like to point out that this was a Canadian Verizon Wireless. Normally I would take this time to make fun of Canadians, but I'm not in the mood Eh.

Do you recognize there is a difference between one dollar and one cent?

Definitely.

Do you recognize there is a difference between half a dollar and half a cent?

Yes.

Do you realize there is a difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents?

No.

Funny stuff

[Ilya]

[padora]

Wow...just wow. Completely sad.

Thanks for the links

After listening to the whole thing it's pissing me off too =/

How in the world did that guy get his current job?

[foogie]

hahaha, wow.

I mean, I can't count change and whatnot... but seriously. I know that a portion of a cent is different that a portion of a dollar.

half a dollar is 50 cents.

half a cent is like cutting a penny in half D:

[Redblade]

How in the world did that guy get his current job?

I wonder too. He must have bribed his superiors or get it through connections

Well you dont need a high school cert to be able to differentiate between .002 dollars and .002 cents. I was able to do that well in my 2nd grade although my maths is not too good.

[SupermanFTM]

Too funny. I loved it Great find. Go currency knowledge!

[ShadowLink64]

I can't believe how horrible their math/currency skills are. If you download 35 megabytes in Canada, you suddenly get charged $71.00? Holy shit!

Makes me sad that it's a Canadian Verizon thingy too.

0.002 CENTS is not 0.002 DOLLARS,
just like
0.002 METRES is not 0.002 KILOMETRES

Stay in Math class everyone.

What morons. If I was the guy with the bill I would have went about it differently with the last female. She seemed to be the only one smart enough to realize that .002 cents is less than a cent. I would have said why is it that if I paid 1 cent per kilobyte that I would be paying $3.59, but when I am paying .002 cents, which is less than 1 cent, I am paying 71 dollars. I would have went down their and shown my ass though. Instead of over the phone. People seem to get things done when a angry guy is staring at them.

[Silk]

Ha ha! That was hilarious. Makes me happy though, if dumb people can get jobs like that, those of us who actually have brains are gonna get somewhat further in life.

[Christopher Robin]

That makes me angry Not really. But their idiocy annoys me I'd go down there and draw it out on paper for them. If they didn't accept it then, I'd call the BBB. Or just after the first 2 calls I would xD

Wow, a lot of north Americans are going down hill lol.......That was just stupid

[Hawk]

Wow, a lot of north Americans are going down hill lol.......That was just stupid

Wow, I like how you make the assumption that roughly 518 million are going down hill based on five people. Those five people represent 0.000000009652509652509653 percent of the population of the North American continent.

GGNORE.

Better North America then poverty stricken, drug ridden, rape and kidnapping South America though.

[Regental]

Better North America then poverty stricken, drug ridden, rape and kidnapping South America though.

That happens in every country in the world. Including yours.
