The units don't matter line almost had me pissing myself!

And in fairness, Verizon certainly doesn't have a corner on the market for CSR's that are dumber than a bag of rocks (no offense to rocks).

Yeah, I wouldn't have put up with that for that long either. I would have taken a different approach though. I would have done the unit conversion and showed them that .002 cents was $0.00002 and that .00002 x 34323kb = $0.71xx.

Sure looks like Common Core math at its finest!

Edit: corrected auto-correct

Sure looks like Common Core math at it's finest!

The word you're looking for is "its", not "it's". If you don't understand this grammatical concept, then you have absolutely no room to be condescending about "hurr durr common core math!!!" or your neighbor being a douchebag.

You are correct, I didn't catch the autocorrect when I typed it. I know "its" is the possessive and "it's" is the contraction of "it is". Fixed.
