Overlord Carol's evil spawn, despite not being able to make outgoing calls on her cellphone, nor being charged for any amount of incoming calls, has managed to accrue another $317 of charges on her monthly bill.
How, you might ask?
Brittani has discovered the wide, wonderful, and nearly limitless world of text messaging.
Despite the lockout, she was completely able to exchange, at 50¢ a pop, teensy worded messages with her little hooligan friends, any time of day or night.
Now, considering that she's got some sort of LDR going with a boy in Indiana that she was maintaining over the internet, and her computer is completely nonfunctional, it isn't the least bit surprising that she's continuing to maintain that text-based relationship over the phone.
I think this actually brings her total bill, over the course of her having had the cellphone for the last year or so, somewhere in the neighborhood of $2000 or so dollars. Now, that's just the overcharges, mind you. The regular bills are another $600 or so, tacked on to that.
Even more shocking, Brittani still has that phone. She can't send or receive phone calls, and text messages are completely out, but she can dial 911 should the need arise.
And I'll bet the reason that Carol was bawling her eyes out all day at work is not because she's so happy that she's paying $50 a month for that.
What's in your head?
