If you’re anything like me – and I know you are – you could probably leave the house without your wallet. Or your set of keys. Or your breakfast muffin. But you’d be lost without your cell phone.
You probably (like me) take your cell phone everywhere with you: even to unmentionable places.
Unfortunately, though, your phone isn’t exactly the friend you consider it to be, thanks to all those frustrating call drops that our dear telecom companies are inducing.
We’re betting, however, that there are folks out there who wouldn’t be fazed by call drops.
Customer Service Calls
It doesn’t matter what product/service/alien funding project they’re for, customer service calls are ALL the same. And what of the ‘toll-free’ number? Unusually long, it is always hidden deep within the brochure or the website. Also, they make you press all kinds of keys. Also, they put you on hold and make you listen to strange background music. And, when they finally talk, you can’t figure a thing to save your life.
Best to drop their calls.
Ashley Madison
Need we spell this out? Just be glad your call got dropped, if it was from Ashley Madison.
Rakhi Sawant
A mix of funny, creepy, dirty and total time pass, Rakhi Sawant seems to be friends with everyone on this planet – be it Indrani Mukerjea or the “pure and pious” Radhe Maa.
Rakhi ji, we surely don’t want to know who you talk to on the phone.
Lalu Prasad Yadav
Love him or hate him, you just can’t ignore Lalu Prasad Yadav.
From uproariously mimicking our Prime Minister in front of a crowd to fat-shaming Modi’s top man Amit Shah, Lalu is undoubtedly India’s funniest politician. However, we suspect he’s been overdoing it just a bit. Perhaps he should stay away from the media for a while. Lalu’s call drops might not hurt him.
Arvind Kejriwal
Call drops for our very dear Arvind Kejriwal wouldn’t really hurt him. After all, he has radio stations and TV ads to his rescue.
