Rant Rant Rant!

Rant Rant Rant I shall.
First Starbucks shall feel the heated blast of my contemptuous wrath full force.
YOU SUCK STARBUCKS!
I used to love them. The Mocha was a thing of beauty. That's when it was made with hot cocoa and expresso and milk. Now the starbucks mocha is made with SYRUP! Good lord it is revolting!
Maybe it's just the starbucks here in Panama City that is using chocolate syrup, but it is disgusting. Utterly putrid. pa-tooey!

Second Sprint!
If ever I wished I could kill people with MIND POWERS, it was yesterday when sprint interupted my cell service because they have not processed my check for the last cell bill. I (actually Tami) sent the check out with other bill checks, as she does regularly at bill time, and lo all of the other checks we sent out have been recieved and processed by those companies to whom they were sent.
See we know this as fact because we have online banking and we are both constantly checking the accounts. We know every cent the other spends, and it is nice. I check the bank at least once a day and I know she checks at least double as often as I do if not more.
All but sprint.
And this is the second time it happened.
The first time two weeks went by and sprint had not processed the check, so Tami tells me she is worried, and I agree, neither of us like the idea of a check free floating around without knowing who is trying to cash it and so on. So we call the bank, cancel the check, for which the bank charged us $20.00 and then we call sprint and tell them we cancelled the check cause we have to assume that it is lost in the mail. So we pay over the phone, and they charge us $5.00 just to pay them, not late fees mind you, just a "Hey pay us another fin just for the pleasure of paying us anyway".
So fine we bite the bullet, maybe we didn't put the bill in the right envelope maybe something bad happened to the mail guy, who knows.

So far we are down $25.00 in cash over this deal, and what happens the next week?
Sprint tries to run the check we expressly told them was cancelled. We gave them the check number, told them it was cancelled, and they said they made a note of it and would not blah blah blah. So then they try to charge us $25.00 to the next bill for a returned check fee.
OH here is the best part!!!
All the time I spent on the phone with Sprint counted against my damn plan minutes! Yeah, not only screwing me, but double stuffing me porno style.

Well this is the same shit they are trying to pull now.
They turned off the cell phone yesterday and I had to pay $30.00 to get it turned back on, and they say they have gotten no check.
WELL TOUGH SHIT SPRINT! You are waiting on this one you bastards.
And if you turn my phone off again I am seriously contacting the states attornies office and filing a complaint against you for purposefully mishandling payments so that you can force people into paying the extra $5.00 charge which is about %500 profit from one electronic fund transaction.
Neener Neener you gigantic multi-billion dollar telecom. Tremble before my empty threats. I DEMAND IT!

Yeah, I'm a goober.
