    Man these telco’s are starting to get really aggressinve with their customer service these days. First they lure you in with their ads for HDTVs that never show up and now they threaten you at gunpoint.

    THINK! VERIZON WIRELESS!!!!
    I’m pretty sure cell phone companies have no reason to come into your house. One should be able to tell the difference between a technician and a salesperson.
    If anything these guys are friggin’ morons.

    Hmmm, that’s odd. Verizon usually robs me blind through less violent means.
