Cell Phone Nightmares....Im gonna go back to writing letters!

Ya....weve all been there! Stuck in the "Voice Recognition Tree" waiting on hold while a barrage of computer simulated voice choices are asked of us only to finally get through to a "CSA" customer service representative who hates their job and at some point "accidentally" cuts you off!  One word.....FRUSTRATING! In the last 5 days i have spent at least, at least an hour or more on the phone everyday explaining the same issues and needs to various different reps to sort out new phone plans for our cells. I'll tell ya, Im blesssed with patience. Ask anyone, Im an extremely patient person. Sometimes to the point were people are compelled to take my pulse and see if Im still breathing. This , for the most part can be considered a fairly good trait to have. Unfortunately when it comes to certain situations it helps to be a little impatient so that you can get the moxy up to put your foot down! Takes a lot to crack my serene exterior but some have achieved this to find out what nasty green goo can ooze from those cracks in their direction. I've often said, turn the other cheek, and Ive often done that but hey, I only have 4 friggin cheeks and once you've slapped all of them you're going to experience me grabbing your hand and making you punch yourself in the face with it! Twice if need be!
Getting back to the cell phone frustrations....it's always frustrating when technology lets us down, for example when you are cruising down the highway enjoying a little Air Supply on your stereo and singing along to "you're all that want,Im so lost without you, ..." and you blow a gasket. Well not you per say but your vehicle. So you roll to the side of the highway, and it's pissing rain by the way, and you think ok...no biggie, Ill just call AMA or CAA or whatever it is ..only to discover the No Service notification on your phone! Yay! so handy to have a cell phone for emergencies! So there you sit...broke down car, dogs in the back, stinky, big, slobbery dogs , all excited because you've pulled over and to them that means something exciting, like leaving the car and going out for a walk in the wilderness!!! ewww look at all the trees out there!! ya but , no but....it's pissing rain , remember? So what to do , what to do? get out and walk along a deserted highway in the rain with no shoulders (uh on the highway I mean) and maybe if you're lucky you don't get eaten by a bear or a cougar. Well that's the beauty of others doing good deeds and stopping to help. Hey wait a minute!!! how come they have cell phone coverage out here in the boonies? what's up with that? I pay a shitload of money to my cell phone provider every month for years now and I have no cell  phone coverage! Seriously people!!! WTF? So our hypothetical situation , a reality and the dogs....ya they got to sit in the back of the vehicle while it was towed to the nearest service area. Haha....thinking of them up on the flatbed of the tow truck,  in the back of the vehicle, looking out the window and wondering with their teeny, tiny little walnut size dog brains, duhh what's going on? duhhh why are we so high up off the road , duhhh bone, bone , bone, running, slobbering duhhh bone, oh...i think I'll lick my genitals now...duh....slobber slobber. Well maybe Im enjoying thinking they felt a little put out cause then it would feel like some form of payback for all the dog barf and poop Ive had to collect over the last decade! Wouldn't it have been nice if I could have put a bunch of that dog poo and barf in a big paper bag and put it on my cell phone providers front step, set it on fire, rang the doorbell and ran away?
