Check out this story that just hit the wire:

Okay... so this guy "took off his shirt and put on safety glasses before throwing around computers, phones and other items." đŸ˜ŗ And then he tried to tell a reporter that "he planned only to yell at employees at Verizon Wireless". 🙄 Yeah, right, buddy. He brought safety glasses with him, for Christ's sake!

Anyway, I know people get angry at their cell phone carrier, but store employees can't magically build more towers for you, and violence is never the answer. â˜šī¸

Do you suppose he's just one of those nuts that ALWAYS carries safety glasses on his person?

It's possible. "Mentally stable" is not a term I would use to describe this guy. 🙄

I hope he wasn't saying "DO YOU HEAR ME NOW"

He probably was "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!" (Crash)

The thing is, I'd wager that's exactly what he said.

I read a comic with some woman grabbing a Verizon rep and screaming, "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!?!?"

Yeah - it's been done a lot. I know I've seen comedian acts and skits with that on TV, and I hear it's in the recent movie "Out of Time".
