Reliance - Migration from post-paid to pre-paid

It was such a pain, I tell you.
Post receiving an SMS from the reliance people, I called up their customer care division to verify the authenticity and validity of their offer. Yes - past experience with them has taught me to verify their Sms's.

The offer was about migrating from post-paid phones to pre-paid phones, and I was anyways wanting to surrender my reliance phone. This was a too-good offer, since even if I convert my post-paid to pre-paid, and later not "refill", it was a more pocket-friendly proposition.

On Sunday, I visited the Vashi webworld, only to find that I was not eligible. Spent 2 hours there, trying to figure out WHY I was not eligible. Later, concluding that I am wasting my time, and also concluding that I will not accept defeat so easily, I wrote a letter to them.

The letter follows:

Dear Sir,

I got an SMS from YOUR side about migration from post-paid to pre-paid. I spoke to YOUR *333 officials asking for more info on the same, and they confirmed that I could do so. (Spoke to Chaitali on 25th July 2004 at 1600 hours.)

I went to YOUR web-world at Vashi on 25th July 2004 at 1800 hours, and I was told by YOUR people that I cannot migrate because;

(a) I am a genuine customer
(b) I pay my bills on time always
(c) My name is not on defaulters list on some portal

This is causing so much discommode. I have wasted MY time and money,  and energy based on what was told to me by YOUR people. Such a futile exercise.

Kindly do not encourage defaulting and migrate me to pre-paid asap.

The people here say they are not the "concerned" people. Wonder what they are doing in Web-world??

This is a request. Please convert my post-paid to pre-paid. If not, I will have no option but to default and then automatically become eligible for the migration. FYI - this was suggested by one of YOUR people at the Vashi webworld at 1835 hours on 25th July 2004.

Thanks & regards,
Nitin Tabib

Things I hate about everybody

The stuff below is not original, but then I don't want to reinvent the wheel anyways ;-)

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the f*** is urs ? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

People who are willing to get off their bum to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". F*** yeah!
What good is a cake if u can't eat it DUMBO?

When people say "it's always the last place u look". Of course it is. Why the f*** wud u keep looking after u've found it? Do ppl do this? Who and where are they?

While watching a film when people say "Did u see that?"
No Tosser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.

People who ask "Can I ask u a question?". Didn't really give me a choice... did ya?

When some commodity is "New & Improved!".
Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it. What shit were we using then?

When people say "Life is short". What the f***???
Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can u do that's longer?

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, "Has the bus come yet?".
If the bus came would I be standing here, Knobhead?

People who say things like 'My eyes aren't what they used to be'. So what did they used to be? Ears, Wellington boots?

When you are eating something and someone asks 'Is that nice?'
NO! It's really revolting I always eat stuff I hate.

People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks, that's an image I really didn't need.

McDonalds staff who pretend they don't understand you unless you insert the 'Mc' before the item u are ordering..... It's has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger get blank looks........... Well I'll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you McTosser.

When you involved in a accident and someone asks 'Are you alright?'
Yes fine thanks, I'll just pick up my limbs and be off.
