Haha, I hacked you! STFU.

You know what really pisses me off? When I see someone's AIM or Facebook status and it says something like, "Hey this is Bob hacking Sally's account. Give me a holla!" It's like, are you fucking kidding me? You think you fucking hacked their account because they left their account logged in on their computer and left the room to go do something, giving you a chance to get on and snoop around on their account? Haha, that's not hacking, that's bullshit. And it's usually those ghetto ass kids who think they're hot shit that do it. "Yo nigga i hakked dis niggaz account, he mad stupid." Shut the fuck up before before I pull a fast one on you and swipe your credit card info, you dumb fuck, damn.

Also related to the situation are the notorious, "I'm gay," or "I like to suck dick," statuses on Facebook. Yeah, if you ever leave your Facebook account logged in and leave to do something with friends nearby, they'll most definitely post some gay ass status on your account. It's just fucking pointless. It was probably funny the first time I saw it, but after that it was like, "Wow, how original." If you're going to do it, at least make it creative because the "I'm gay" line is so fucking overused and pointless. And if your friends actually think you're gay because of a Facebook status, you need to get some new friends, ASAP.

Free Xbox Live

Want to know how I get free Xbox Live 1 Month membership codes? Of course you do, who doesn't? I meant to post this up a while ago, but I've been lazy as fuck. Well, here it is now, so have fun.

I found a site that rewards you to do offers online. It's called Rewards1.com. It basically works like this, you complete offers for them and they give you points for the offers. You can then use those points to get free things, like free Xbox Live membership codes. You can get other things too, like Microsoft Points and even physical items, like an Xbox 360 or PS3 console, but those require more time and effort to obtain. The Xbox Live 1 Month codes are probably the cheapest thing on their website, and thus the fastest to get.

This is how I got my Xbox Live 1 Month code: I joined the site, made another email(because you'll be getting a lot of spam from the offers, over 500 emails a day at times), spent about two hours filling up offers with fake addresses and fake personal information and then confirming any emails that required me to, and then ordered my free Xbox Live 1 Month code. Each offer gives you about 0.25 - 1.0 points, and on average there's a lot of 0.5 point offers that you can easily get done. When I did it, Xbox Live 1 Month cost 8.0 points to order, but now it went up to 9.0 points (because Microsoft discontinued making 1 Month Live codes a few weeks ago). Either way, if you have about two hours to spend of your day or if you're one of those little kids with no jobs that everyone hates on Xbox, then this will probably be your best bet for free Xbox Live codes. Your order is processed within 0-3 days, and if you don't get it emailed to you within then, just email them and they'll send it to you. I emailed them the fourth day asking about it, and I got an email an hour later with my code, so it's all good.

Here's the link to their site, have fun: Rewards1.com

And if you want proof, here's a picture of the email and the website after I got my first free Xbox Live 1 Month code. I blocked out the code though, but I've already used it up (like I said, I meant to post this guide a long while ago).

PSP for Nude Pics

I was bored, so I decided to fuck with people on craigslist.

Here's the original ad:
"I'm looking for a working psp with at least 1 game, charger and in good condition. I'm trading a blue ds lite (like new) with 7 games for the psp."

Here's the email convo:


I have the white darth vader psp. I have GTA Liberty City stories for it along with the charger. I will trade it for your DS Lite only if you throw in a picture of your mom posing explicitly. And why the fuck would I trade you my psp for 7 psp games? That's pointless.

Thanks,
Jo Chung


You're pathetic kid, first off you didn't even read my ad right. learn to comprehend shit before running that little mouth of yours. You have no life if you respond to craigslist ads just to waste time out of your life accomplishing nothing. grow a dick and wack off to porn little boy. no one cares if you die, seriously. go look at your mom naked and then fantasize about her like you always do k? k.

Thanks,
The person that owned you


If you send me a picture of yourself with a sign saying, "I'm sorry Jo Chung," written in a cute font with a heart or two on it, I'll reconsider the offer and might even throw in a free pair of psp earphones and a white psp strap as well.

Thanks,
Jo Chung

McDonald's Monopoly

Alright, so this is a pretty old piece of shit experiment I did last year (2008) when the McDonald's Monopoly game was going around. If you had the Boardwalk and Park Place piece you would get $1,000,000 in exchange for it. I had the Park Place piece, along with millions of other people out there, the only problem was, now I needed the Boardwalk piece. I already knew I'd never get it, so I thought I'd just fuck around with everyone else that wanted it.

So I went into Photoshop, made my Park Place piece look like a Boardwalk piece (the rare one that nobody has), and posted an ad on Craigslist saying something along the lines of, "I have the Boardwalk piece. I'm selling it for $500,000. Email me if you're interested." And of course I attached my poorly photoshopped Boardwalk piece picture as well. To my surprise, my inbox got spammed with an overload of email from people trying to make a deal with me for the piece. All I wanted was $500k upfront, I didn't want any deals (not that I had the piece anyway, ha).

Anyway, here are many of the emails I saved. Some are boring, some are more interesting, almost all of them are desperate. Some people even emailed me from work, damn. Have fun.


*****@yahoo.com
i'm in california. you're in new york. I have park place, you have boardwalk. lets be real it's 1,000,000 take in to consideration this money will be taxed. if your game piece is for real lets do eachother a favor and split the money. 50/50. we can write it up as a contract. or get a notary. it's a win win. i'm not about greed i just want to pay some bills and maybe a down on a house. lets do this.


*****@cable.comcast.com
I have park place and I am willing to go in together to redeem it. I am willing to split the profit in your favor. I will redeem Parkplace with you to receive 400,000.00 and you would get 600,000.00. We can sign a contract to split the profit this way. I think this would be a perfect opportunity for you and me both.


*****@gmail.com
As you can probably tell, I have park place. If you want 500,000 bucks lets just combine forces.


*****@yahoo.com
is this piece already gone? if not will you be willing to just split profit?


*****@comcast.net
I have Park Place, if interested in a joint-mutually beneficial "merger" of
your ticket and mine to obtain the winnings and split 50/50, please let me
know. Nothing ventured / nothing gained.

*****@hotmail.com
I am curious as to why you wouldn't want to find Parkplace yourself and claim the prize? You are asking for the $500,000 up front or would you ever consider going in together on the deal and we both would come ahead? There's ways to deal--signed agreements, etc. If interested in working on this with me, as I have Parkplace, please let me know. 50/50 or even 70/30, or whatever. You could come out of it BETTER than $500,000.


*****@aim.com

price if it won :)


*****@hotmail.com
Hi i got park place , please let me know if the offer still stands as soon as possible.!!! My email is *****@hotmail.com please email me back with an answer


*****@gmail.com
I'll do it if I can pay AFTER I cashed in. I don't understand why you would sell it.

[I don't understand why I'd give you the piece for free.]



Unfortunately, this was the second batch of emails that I got for the piece. The first batch was funny, but I was too lazy to save it back then. The best email I got (not listed up there) was one saying, "You don't have Boardwalk, because I do."

I hope I wasted your time.

Stickers, Dicks, & Ricers

Cars, everyone loves cars. They come in all shapes and sizes too, just like dicks, and everyone loves dicks too. Now, a lot of people love to mod their cars, but sometimes it's just way too fucking overdone or shitty. People like to "mod" their dicks too, so-to-speak. We have Viagra, penis-pumps, and all that other shit too. Then there's the piercings and other hardcore shit as well, but how far is too far? We'll see.

First off, let's take a look at a simple car "mod," stickers. Everyone loves to put stickers all over the place because they think it's so badass, especially those bullet hole stickers. If you're driving a shot-up car, you either live in some fucked up terrorist-ridden country, or in some shitty ghetto ass hood. If you live in a white neighborhood, and you have bullet holes on your car, you're a faggot. If your bullet holes are stickers, you deserve to be shot. Here, let me give you guys a visual of what I mean by that:

If your car looks like this:

Then it should end up looking like this:


It's like saying, "Hey, come shoot up my ride so it can look like this for real!" You put bullet holes on your car because you obviously wanted it to look "shot-up," so when it does get shot-up for real, you better not be disappointed. It's like putting bullet hole stickers on your dick; do you really want your dick to look shot-up? I don't. First off it's retarded in both cases, and second off, you're just itching to get shot. Have fun.

Besides the bullet hole stickers, we have an even more common abomination, bumper stickers. They're the like useless ads you find on websites, the waste-of-space little shits that get in your face, but in the end you don't even bother because you don't give a shit. They're flat out annoying and no one gives a shit what your thoughts are, so don't fucking waste your time putting a bumper sticker on your car that says, "I love music," because I don't give a shit. We also have the common, "baby on board" bumper stickers. Seriously, is it like, "Oh shit, he's got a baby on board, I'm going to try extra hard not to get in an accident with him just because of that sticker." Fuck that. What's worse is those fuckers with a barrage of bumper stickers on their car. As if one isn't enough, they have to put their whole life story on the back of their car. No one gives a shit. You should just remove all of them and put one that says, "I'm a faggot, crash me," because that's what I think of when I see that shit on your car.

If your car looks like this, kill yourself.


Lastly, we have the ricers. Ricers are "any oriental import car that has been modified for no real performance gain." In other words, that shit does not belong on your car. Hey, not all ricers look bad, some are pretty nice, but some people just over fucking do it, and those are the ones I'm ranting about. Ricers are most common within the Asian community, because Asians think it's fucking gangster to have a five foot high spoiler on their car. That shit does not make your car any more aerodynamic, hell, it just adds weight to your car, especially if your shit looks like this:



Hey, this one actually looks pretty good...

...if you want your car to look like a fucking Hot Wheels toy.

Shower Shit


You know what I hate? I hate it when you're taking a nice shower, and then all of a sudden you feel like you have to take a shit. No, you do have to take a shit. How troublesome. What do you do now? Do you hold it in until after the shower or do you just bust out of the shower and take that crap? You could try to hold it in, but that shit is there, and do you really want to take a dump after you've just cleaned your ass? I don't, that's too annoying.

So now you've hopped out of your shower, and you're sitting on your toilet all wet and shit, taking that crap. What I don't like about this is that the whole toilet's a mess now, and I have to wipe that shit dry afterward. What a pain in the ass. Ah, so you've taken your shit and you feel much better now. Now lies the most important question: do you wipe your ass with toilet paper and hop back into the shower, or do you just get back in the shower with your shit-stained asshole and clean that shit there? Personally, I like to wipe first anyway, you know, I don't wanna touch that shit in the shower, but maybe some people get off to that shit.

P.S. If you get off to that shit, you're fucking gay.

WTF is the song name?

I hate it when assholes on youtube don't fucking put the song name they used in their video in the video description. Seriously, if you're going to put a song in your video, give some credit and let people know what song it is all at the same time. It's like, let me put this awesome song in the video, but I won't tell anyone what it's called because only I can know. Or maybe it's a possible advertising scheme. You know, every time you want to listen to the song, you have to go watch his video and he'll rake up views for it. Most of the time, the video either sucks or sucks. Either way, it's pretty fucking gay how the song's almost never included. Although, sometimes the user who posted the video posts it as a comment. Now I have to search through fifteen fucking pages spanning hundreds of comments each to find the fucking song name? Seriously, just put it in the fucking video description, asshole.

It's even worse when these assholes disable the comments on videos. Now you either have to send them a private message asking for the song. This will either result in: you getting the song, you getting shitted on for no reason, or no response because the asshole doesn't log on anymore. Great, well now all you have left to do is gather all your friends, show them that video, and hope to god at least someone knows what the fuck that song is called.

P.S. Fuck youtube for disabling songs on videos, you fucking jews.

It's Toh-May-Toh, Assholes

I haven't posted in ages... Anyway, I think I'll change how I do things around here. Instead of trying to think of topics to write about (what I was doing before), I'll just write about every little thing that pisses me off on a day-to-day basis.

With that said, I fucking hate people who pronounce the word "tomato" like this: "toh-mah-toh." It's pronounced "toh-may-toh," and if you can't fucking say it that way, then don't fucking say it at all. Are you trying to sound more intelligent or something? And what really pisses me off are the people that say "toh-mah-toh" and then have the balls to say, "Oh, toh-may-toh, toh-mah-toh, it's all the same!" No, it's not the same, asshole; "toh-may-toh" is the correct way to say it. On a side note, a tomato is a vegetable, fuck the fags that call it a fruit, you fucking fruits.

Temporary Tattoos



Only in the 90's did temporary tattoos come with the exclusive Klansman tattoo, because wearing a temporary tat of a Klansman on your arm back then was the shit! "It lasts for days," and it's "incredibly realistic!" You know, just in case people didn't notice you have a Klansman on your arm the first time around, they'd have the opportunity to see it again tomorrow! And it's incredibly realistic, so everyone that sees it won't have to second guess themselves about it being a Klansman! Radical!

Crocs


Crocs have been out for a while now. They started out as the original "beach shoes" pictured above, and now have moved on to take new shapes and sizes, but one thing will always stay the same about them, they look like shit. I never owned a pair of Crocs, but I don't think that would have made any difference in my hatred against them. Crocs are an abomination and they need to be destroyed.

I always thought of Crocs as cheap dollar shoes you buy at a stand near the beach or something, but man was I wrong. I went on the Crocs website to check out the prices. A pair of Crocs costs thirty dollars? What the hell, are you serious? People actually pay thirty dollars for these things. What are they even made of? It looks like its some really cheap ass rubber, or even plastic. And they all come in those bright ass colors too. Why would I pay thirty dollars to wear a pair of bright red plastic abominations on my feet? I wouldn't, and I don't. What a waste of money.

I hate Crocs, and I hate the people that wear them too. They were made to be worn at the beach, but people grew accustomed to wearing them everywhere, and this is unacceptable. I've seen people wear these things almost every where, and every time I see some douchebag with Crocs on, I want to kick him in his crocs, if you know what I mean.

One day I was riding the subway train. Everything is quiet, and everyone keeps to themselves like most of the time. The train doors open and a swarm of businessmen in suits get aboard. A routine occurrence, except this time it was different. This time I noticed something, something that made me want to get up, knock the guys out, and leave the car without words. A businessman walks in train car in his thousand dollar suit, slick shades, briefcase, and he was blabbering about shit on his Bluetooth headset while picking at his Blackberry. He's already a douche for wearing that Bluetooth, but what's even worse, that's right, you guessed it, he had a pair of bright red Crocs on. What the fuck is wrong with you? Just shoot yourself right now before I have to. Red Crocs and a black business suit do not go together; hell, Crocs do not go well with anything, let alone on the subway. Get the fuck out of here, and do not even dare think of leaving your Crocs behind.

What's worse was, he sits down across from me. Now I get to stare at his shitty ass Crocs for the whole ride. It wouldn't have been so bad if his feet didn't smell. Oh yes, one of Crocs' many features, they are "odor-resistant and bacteriostatic." Well, you got that right, all the odor escapes the shoe through the barrage of holes on it and attacks everyone within a six foot radius of the wearer. Crocs not only look fucking ugly as hell, but they make your feet smell too. I've never seen a single person with Crocs who wore wear socks either. Have some fucking decency and wear some fucking socks at least. I don't want to see your ugly ass feet through your ugly ass shoes. "Well why are you looking at his feet in the first place?" Why? Well if his bright red Crocs didn't stick out so damn much I wouldn't have looked down there.

And now, the makers of Crocs have a special new product for douchebags just like the one I mentioned above. Crocs cellphone cases, so you can carry your Blackberry around in style. Fuck that.



Remember kids, say no to Crocs, because if you say yes, I will hunt you down and bust your balls.

Arcades Need An Age Limit


Okay, you know what really annoys the hell out of me? Kids. No, not kids as in everyday kids. Those are fine. What I'm talking about is the kids you find in arcades; they're just annoying as hell. Why? This is why: They don't know what the fuck they're doing.

Okay, so I go to an arcade to have some fun, cash my five dollar bill into quarters, and then when I go over to my favorite arcade game, The Fast And The Furious, I find this: Some five year old kid is sitting there, occupying my seat. I really wouldn't mind if he was actually playing the game, but he's not. He's just sitting there, turning the wheel while making "Whoooshing" sounds. I want to play the game, so I ask the kid if I can play. He says, "No, I'm playing!" I sigh and try to explain to him that he's not playing. The damn leaderboards are even up; how the hell are you playing with the leaderboards blocking your view? This either goes one of two ways: The kid finally gets a clue, leaves, and I get to play in peace, or, the kid gets up, leaves, and two minutes later he comes back with his mom and I get bitched at for harassing her son. What a load of shit.

Alright, so now I'm finally playing a race. I'm kicking back in my nice hard plastic seat, listening to the shitty music that the game has to offer, and of course, enjoying every damn minute of it. I'm mid-way into the race, and at this stage I'm either in third to first position depending on the map, when all of a sudden some little fucking kid comes out of no where and hits the N2O(Nitrous Oxide) button on the machine. My car suddenly thrusts forward at full speed while I ask the kid, "What the hell did you that for?" Next thing I know, I crash into a wall. I'm now in eight place. I'm pissed. The kid, with a big grin on his face, responds, "It makes you go faster!" No shit. There's no point to using nitrous during the race at all. All you need to do is stay clear of traffic, keep your velocity consistent, slow down on turns, and you should get to first place by the middle of the race. Unlike most people that play the game, I don't like to waste my N2O until the very end of the race when I have to go head to head against the computer controlled cars. Why? Because the only way to win against them is if you spam all of your nitrous while doing wheelies for an extra boost in your speed. This method almost always lands you in first place, if you do it correctly that is. And of course first place equals a free game. This is why I only need five dollars, because I get first most of the time, unlike all the kids that cash out a twenty for quarters and manage to waste it all within five minutes of playing. Kids...

The arcade game has a feature that lets you create an account that is attributed to a PIN that you create as well. The account lets you customize your cars once before every race(letting you add/upgrade perks such as nitrous, spoilers, tires, engines, neon lights, and decals), unlock new cars with money gained from races, and of course, displays your custom name/alias on the leaderboards for everyone to bask in your glory. Why am I telling you this? So you know what I'm talking about in the next scenario when I mention it.

Anyway, I always like human challengers on this game because it really gets boring playing against the computer all the time. I love it when little kids challenge me even more, because they get so frustrated when they lose. We both shove our quarters into the machine, and enter our PIN numbers so we can use our custom cars. I always choose my custom Dodge Challenger equipped with some nice tires, a spoiler, the second or third engine(the one that sticks out of the hood), and of course N2O, for those do-or-die situations. It's the only car that I have customized on my account, and I like it that way. The kid who is challenging me looks over at my car, chuckles, and shows me his "bad ass" Nissan 350Z, fully equipped with all the perks. Sure the acceleration, speed, control, and aerodynamics(amount of time your car stays in the air when you jump ramps/cliffs) are all at their best for his car, but damn, his car looks like shit. Here's a description of what that car looks like when you max out all of the upgrades: It has a big ass engine sticking out of its hood, neon lights under it for more awesomeness, spinning rims because those are really necessary, shitty decals that cover the car's paint-job, and of course let's not forget the five story spoiler on the back. Yeah kid, awesome car, I wish I was playing with that.

The race starts and the kid automatically uses up all three of his nitrous so he can thrust himself all the way to first place. He's doing really well, all until he crashes into a pedestrian car because he's driving on the wrong side of the road. Of course, he doesn't know that because he can't see shit in front of him with all the crap he has on his car. I speed by him, but I don't say anything. I stay calm and laugh to myself on the inside because I think it pisses them off even more. They're already bitching at the game because they're in last place; I don't need to shove in in their face. I end up winning the race in first, and most cases I still have nitrous left over. The kid is pissed, so he jams more quarters into the machine wanting a rematch and we repeat the process until he either runs out of quarters and leaves or gets so pissed that he just leaves in the middle of the race. Either way, I get some kicks out of his reactions.

Kids. They shouldn't be allowed in arcades, not if they're under twelve years old. I think kids above twelve have some decency and understanding, but hey, I could be wrong. I was actually told today that Japanese arcades actually have age restrictions. How I sometimes wish this was Japan...

How to set up your GoDaddy domain with Blogger

Okay, since I have not found a single website that guides you through step by step on how to set up your GoDaddy domain name with your blogger blog, I will just make have to make one myself.

There are two main parts to this guide: How to set up your GoDaddy domain's settings, and how to set up your Blogger's settings.

How to set up your GoDaddy settings:
1. Log into GoDaddy and go to Domains > My Domains.
2. Click on the domain that you want to use for your blog.
3. Find the "Total DNS Control and MX Records" link and click it.
4. Under the "Total DNS Control Panel," locate "CNAMES(Aliases)."
5. Click on the pencil icon to edit it.
6. Set it as these settings exactly: "Enter an Alias Name: www" & "Points to Host Name: ghs.google.com" If you don't know what TTL is, just leave it at 1 hour.
7. Hit OK.
8. Now we need to go back to the previous screen, the one where you found "Total DNS Control and MX Records," but this time find "Forwarding:" and click on the link below it.
9. You will get a "Forward and Mask Domains" section pop-up at the top. Click on the "Forwarding" tab.
10. Check the "enable forwarding" box, enter your blog's url(www.blog.blogspot.com) into the "Forward to:" box, and finally, click/check the "301 Moved Permanently" radio button.
11. Now press the "Masking" tab.
12. Check the "Enable masking" box. You can leave everything else blank for now.
13. Finally, hit OK.
14. You're done with part one, time for part two.

How to set up your Blogger settings:
1. Log into Blogger, go to "Dashboard," pick a blog, and click "Settings."
2. Under the "Settings" tab, click the "Publishing" tab.
3. Find this: "Switch to: • Custom Domain (Point your own registered domain name to your blog)," and click on "Custom Domain."
4. Under the orange text that says "Buy a domain for your blog," look for "Already own a domain? Switch to advanced settings." It's on the right side. Click "advanced settings."
5. For your domain, enter your godaddy domain in the input box. It should include both the www. and the .com. An example would look like this: "www.domain.com"
6. Enter the word verification code, hit "Save Settings," and you're done!

If you did everything correctly, your domain name will now lead to your blog.

If you did it this way, you won't have to worry about the error you get on Blogger when you try to set your blog to be hosted at both "www.domain.com" & "domain.com". A lot of people are getting a "Blogs may not be hosted at naked domains." error whilst trying to set it up this way. If you've set up your GoDaddy account from a different guide online, you probably changed the "A (Host)" settings on GoDaddy. I left this step out because it only will cause you problems.

This is how to fix the "Blogs may not be hosted at naked domains." error:
1. Log into GoDaddy and go to Domains > My Domains.
2. Click on the domain that you want to use for your blog.
3. Find the "Total DNS Control and MX Records" link and click it.
4. Under the "Total DNS Control Panel," locate "A (Host)."
5. Click on the pencil icon to edit it.
6. Set it as these settings exactly: "Host Name: @" & "Points To IP Address: 64.202.189.170" Again, leave the TTL at 1 hour.
7. Hit OK, and you're done.

After doing that, you won't have to bother trying to set up your Blogger settings to redirect "domain.com" to "www.domain.com," GoDaddy will do it for you automatically. Enjoy.

MetroPCS "Unlimit Yourself"


If you don't know what MetroPCS is, it's a relatively unpopular cell phone service provider. They offer unlimited calling for prices as little as $30 a month. Sure, they're not as popular as the bigshots: Cingular/AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, etc, but that doesn't always mean that they're not a reliable company. Or does it?

The $30 a month unlimited calling plan looks like a total waste of money. You are only allowed to make unlimited local calls, and based on this chart, it doesn't seem like you can purchase any additional services like voicemail, caller id, call waiting, text messaging, email, maps, ringtones, and all that other crap that you don't really need. Wait, since when do I need to purchase voicemail and caller id as an extra service with a phone comapany? An extra charge for the basics? This doesn't sound very promising.

If all you're looking for is just unlimited calling locally, then go for it, but be warned. Why the warning? This is why: The range of connectivity is fairly low with this company. Take a look here for yourself. There are a few good "hot zones" throughout the country, mainly major cities such as New York, NY; San Francisco, CA; Waco, TX; and so on. I'd say about ten major cities tops are good places to use this service. If you don't live in any of them, do yourself a favor and just stay away from this company.

Anyway, let's cut to the chase. Let's take a look at some responses from a few happy customers using MetroPCS and see what they have to say about this their fantastic usage and experiences. I'll try to keep them as recent as possible.

I recently purchased a phone from this company and I was disappointed. I only received one game on this phone, I could not make or receive phone calls out of state, I was misinformed by the employees. When asked about the return policy, I was told that I had seven days to return the phone. Five-six days later I was told that I could not return the phone or upgrade the phone.

That is horrible business considering I paid $150 dollars for a crappy phone. The features of this phone are very cheap. If I could recommend a phone to anyone it would not be from Metro PCS or Kyocera. When I tried to call customer service I was also given the run around and told that no one could help me but the store that I brought it from. Now doesn't that suck? By the way they refuse to give you back your money as if this country is already not in enough debt from greedy, selfish corporate owners.

If for some strange reason they decide that they have any morals and will give me my money back I will definitely post it and give them credit!"

Currently MetroPCS is my only phone. I'm not necessarily unhappy with the actually service or phone, but their customer service capabilities and attitude are horrendous. Because the free month they start you with is always the $45 plan with all the bells and whistles, I made sure to change my plan prior to my first payment to the $40 plan with NO extras.

After making the change, I was told that my monthly bill would be $48.30. Okay...I paid it and all seemed well. Now my second payment is supposedly $49.21, so I called to find out why there was an extra $.91 on the bill. Here's a tip when calling that frustrating recorded 'help' line: choose the option 'manage my account' then say 'something else' when they ask you to state an option. Mind you, you'll be on hold for an eternity but it should get you to an agent. After figuring that out, I got some very rude gentleman (and I use that term loosely)who kept telling me that I had a leftover balance from the month before and said he 'thought' it might be due to end of the year taxes..? That's the equivalent of saying 'I have no idea and will just make up any excuse to explain what I don't know'. I will try obtaining my account number..something they don't give you when you first sign up..tomorrow and viewing my bill online myself. I haven't yet looked closely, but I suspect there might be a charge for that. Sigh.

I've never done business with anyone who won't provide at least an online bill for your convenience, but I've also never done business with a company who makes it so difficult to talk to customer service either. Just remember people, there is a HUGE difference between inexpensive and cheap. This company is just cheap. Management is invisible, customer service is incompetent and you really do get what you pay for."

My experiences with Metro PCS have been great I never had a problem with my service originally I bought Motorola k1m and it was stolen and I had insurance so I called to have my phone replaced. They were out of stock on my phone and suggested a phone that was a couple of dollars less than what my phone was and asked me if that would be ok I said no so they transferred me to a supervisor who got me the Motorokr which is actually and upgrade on my phone and had it here in two days. I probably was only out my phone 3 days. Good service if you ask me."

On January 15 or 16 I bought a Razr V3 phone on the internet during the process of buying it said try another card I was absolutely sure the credit card was good because I called before I purchase the phone. It was supposed to be delivered in 3 days now it 10 days later January 26 still have not receive the phone. I called the credit card company the said the amount the phone cost from MetroPCS was deducted from my credit card. But still no phone yet."

I thought having Metro PCS for my kids was a good idea since it's one fee per month well guess again!!!! They change your plan with out notice you can never reach a customer service without being on hold for 45 mins. And when you go to one of the stores to get help they 9xs out of 10 have no clue to what they are even doing! The corp. office in Garland, Texas the people are just RUDE as H&%$!!!! They tell you when you sign up that the bill will be this amount plus tax and I have had them for 4 months and the bill has NEVER been the same!

They send each one of my daughters a text message that the bill is due and NEVER has the bill been the same on each text message."

Okay, so looking at some reviews, we can see that there are a lot of happy customers with this company. We can also deduct that customer service is fast, reliable, and friendly. That was sarcasm, if you didn't notice. If you want to read more reviews for MetroPCS, this is where I got them from: MetroPCS Reviews. And remember, MetroPCS: Unlimit Yourself, unlimit yourself to bullshit.

Bluetooth


What a fag. And not to mention his wife looks like a man too, what a perfect couple.

I can't stand Bluetooth, and I really can't stand people wearing them. Alright, I get it, it's cool wearing a headset so you can talk to your pals without holding your phone next to your face the whole time. It's a great way to free up that extra hand. I'm sure you feel really important while you're strolling down the street having a full blown business conversation on it, but in reality, you just look crazy to everyone else, especially if we can't even see that you're wearing a headset.

Why the hell would you need a Bluetooth headset while you're walking down the street anyway? I mean sure, you have use of both your hands now, but what the hell are you going to use your hands for while walking down the street? I mean, I can see if you're riding a bike it can be useful, but seriously, have you ever seen people riding bikes wearing these things? I sure haven't. Hell, I've even seen people using cellphones while riding their bikes.

I guess those classy businessmen(the ones in suits that carry suitcases around) can use a spare hand while talking on the phone and walking down the street. You know, just in case some middle-class loser bumps into your brand new thousand dollar suit, you'll have that extra hand to brush the dust off of your suit(of course you'll be wearing leather gloves too) all while still being able to carry your suitcase in your other hand and being able to tell your friends how some douchebag just ran right into you. Isn't that useful?

But hey, Bluetooth isn't just for rich people, it's for everyone who wants to look like a rich douchebag! Simply buy a Bluetooth headset, place it on your ear, and walk around talking about random crap on it. You'll be the coolest mofo on the block, I promise you that. You'll get everyone's attention in no time. People will be admiring that awesome attachement on your ear. You'll hear things such as, "Gee, I wish I had a Bluetooth headset," "If had one of those, I could fuck and talk to my frineds at the same time," and maybe you'll even hear some little aspiring child say, "Wow, when I grow up, I want to be a real douchebag just like that guy!" So please, if you don't already own a Bluetooth headset, please go out and buy one right now. You'll never want to use a hand-held cellphone again!

On somewhat of a side note, but still very related, let's look at this useless hunk of junk:

Wow, Verizon's LG Decoy has a Bluetooth headset that you can plug in the phone, Neat-O! What a waste, seriously. A phone with a detachable headset, that's sooo cool! I can see it can be useful if you want to charge your headset on-the-go, but what the hell, it's just eating up your phone's battery. Uh oh, the phone's ringing, let me snap off the headset, snuggly fit it on my ear, and answer the call. Yeah, that's pretty useful if you're working out or something I guess, but if you're sitting in a fucking subway car and actually take the time to put that shit on your ear, well, you could have just answered the call instead of missing it. "But I need my hands to read a book!" If you're reading a book, why the hell are you having a conversation with someone at the same time? How is that even possible? Hell, I sure can't do both at the same time, but if you can, congrats, but you're still a douchebag for wearing that Bluetooth.

Cheers.

RAM is Dead, but .RAR is coming

I'm re-doing the blog, no more reviews, just rants. Get ready for .RAR.
