Only Me

Ladies and gents if this doesn't get you giggling I don't know what will.

So you all know how much I love my mobile phone anyone who has been around me long enough knows that I use it all the time and not just for talking and text but for photos too, oh how I love photos. Anyway lately my phone has been playing up and being really dodgy it won't even let me use the camera features! So yesterday I gave my providers a call and told them about the crappiness which my beloved phone had become and they said it'd cost me about two hundred dollars to get fixed… If I had two hundreds dollars I wouldn't be using it to get my phone fixed!

Whilst thinking of ways to get my hands on a new phone it occurred to me I could pull a sneaky and say that I though someone had 'stolen' my phone and my insurance would pay for I new one. Now I know how horrible that sounds but why should I have to pay so many dollars a month when my handset is only costing me to pay off $6.75 a month over 24 months (yes I actually read my contract with the miniscule print) and the sim I put a plan on is barred because I love to talk so its best if I'm on prepaid. Having thought all of this through I thought right I'll do it!

Today I had an interview at an ungodly hour of the morning 9:30 am for you normal folk and then after that I was going to go make my claim as I was already in the city, when my interview was over I was fishing around in the monstrosity of a bag that I was carrying but I couldn't find my phone, I had lost it! All my contacts/photos/film all gone I was so upset, so this time I really had to go make a claim. First I went to the police station, then to my providers then I had to call the insurance company but because my phone is registered under mums name she had to call them. So I left all the details with Dani to pass onto ma. All the while I thought at leats now I'm going to get my new phone.

After all this had happened I thought 'I might as well purchase a new sim card because I'm going to need one anyway' and I changed my provider. I got to thinking about how I'd contact all the people I needed to and most of which I don't have their home phone numbers so I got angry thinking that it'd take at least a week for them to send me a new phone.

When I arrived home I called mum to see if she had rang the insurance company and she paused and said "as I was on the phone to them someone called you dad saying that they had found your phone..." I was so excited I didn't lose any of my stuff "…but the insurance people heard the whole conversation so you're not going to get a new phone." ONLY ME!
