"Cant solve that tricky question in your end of semester exam?" take a nap
"Cant find all the coins you saved up for the trotro mate?" take a nap (preferably in the corner where you can lean your head on the window)
"You tore your outfit when getting down from the trotro?" say a quick prayer of thanks that at least clothes don't need tetanus shots, then take a nap.
"You were given soap instead of a phone at circle because you thought you were wise?" take a nap.
Now i have been with a new service provider for a little over a year because i love their call rates and the little denominations their vouchers come in,( sometimes a little is a lot). the weird thing is our relationship is turning abusive but i cant walk out of it, and a girl can only sleep so much.
It all started when i discovered their "unlimited" *air quotes* data bundles. I always assumed unlimited meant just that, unlimited, it was not limited, but my service provider has redefined the whole concept to me.
Unlimited means that after a few hours of streaming YouTube videos, I will have just 20% of my "unlimited bundle remaining. another 30 minutes and i cant even browse anymore.
Tell me is that fair? Is that democratic? Is that love??? How do you expect me to smile because I've got you when you do this to me.
Then again I cant help loving you because of your bonuses that go across all networks, even though its limited, and the doubling and tripling of my top ups. And your customer care center actually answers the call instead of a certain Yellow Casanova with a million subscribers and counting. You do me so well, I forget how my credit miraculously vanishes after top up and the many promotions that never seem to end with a winner (preferably me) .
I can say without a doubt that my relationship with my bed has improved because of my SP. Sometimes i have to go back to my Yellow Casanova on my "back up Nokia" and it gets me thinking;
"Am I cheating?"
"Do i deserve this because I cannot remain faithful"
"Why cant Terrific Tuesday have a cousin called Wonderful Wednesday, or Marvelous Monday"
So many questions with even fewer answers.
One thing is for sure though, i refuse to port because I don't want to be trapped in another relationship I cannot end until 90 days is up, and everyone who matters to me knows the "new number" even though i still have to refer to that card that came with the sim if I want to know my number since I cant be bothered to keep it in my noggin
