Yo, Call me back.

Now many of you reading this probably have a cell phone yourself and you’re always trying to find the best plan available so you can talk as much as you want and keep the costs low as possible. (Anyone reading this that has a City Fido plan, screw you and stop reading; this is meant for normal people.) Now I’ve realized that one plan majority of people have and I try to sell it as much as I can (for those who know where I work, you know what I mean) because I truly think the plan in question is a good one.

Now the plan I’m talking about is the Unlimited Incoming Calls/100 Outgoing weekday minutes/1000 outgoing evening and weekend minutes (or some combination of the minutes but the main thing is the Unlimited Incoming Calls). Now the plan is really a good one if you get a lot of incoming calls and everyone obviously assumes that they are too important to call people and people always call them. Yea right, get over yourself. You’re as important as ShindaSingh.com, and that’s saying something.

Now the only reason I bring this up is because I think we’ve reached a point where everyone is rolling around with this Unlimited Incoming plan. Now we’re at a point where no one wants to call anyone and just wants to receive the call. If two people want to talk, this is how the conversation starts:

Person A: Yo, call me back. (Hangs up)

Person B: Fuck, this guys making me use up my minutes.

Person A: WTF, why isn’t this guy calling me back? Ah well, I’d rather wait than call him back and use up my minutes.

Now everyone is afraid to use up their outgoing minutes and would rather receive the call instead but what people fail to understand is that, the other person has the exact same plan and has the exact same thinking. So is it really worth getting this plan when no one really wants to call you even though you think you’re so damn important that they should be calling you. Reality is that you end up calling more people and the only people that call you are your parents/siblings and other family members. Now either you get a different plan or make yourself important so that people will actually have a reason to call your lazy ass. Or cell phone companies need to come out with a plan where it has an Unlimited Outgoing so that this can be evened out but I doubt that’s going to happen.

Also, don’t get me started on those people that go to school outside of the GTA and whenever they in the GTA, you gotta call them, hang up and wait for them to call you back just so that they can avoid some long distance charges. (Although if you have Unlimited Incoming that actually works in your favour. This cell phone system is messed up. Just bribe someone and jack their City Fido plan or just go pay some Rogers guy 50 bones and grab the unlimited incoming/outgoing shit.)

Anyways, I’m with my man D (look around, you’ll see him) and I’m gone.
