Let's Just Do This

Okay, I know that customer's overall should not try to work the system. We all know this, but have you never tried to? You know that we all have at one time or another. Let's just ignore the posts that ask us how to and if you can. The customers have to learn to take responsibility for what they do to themselves as well. If a customer knowingly tried to commit "fraud" on their account but knowingly having a plan that they know they should not have they will "be reprimanded for it". In the mean time "Judge not, est ye be judged." We are all consumers for some company who has practices that we don't agree with, but "grass is not always greener on the other side" so we stay put and just need to vent and sometimes figure out a way around ...

I personally, do not try to "work the system." If I am asked to pay a charge for a service rendered, I pay it. Simple as that. If I don't agree with the charge I either 1: Don't use the service, or 2: If I have already used the service, I make sure to never use it again.

That is what angers me about people who constantly try to "work the system." Basically they are stating, "I know the rules, I know I should follow the rules, but since I'm special, I don't feel this rule should apply to me." Thats called anarchy. If you don't agree with a rule thats fine, voice your complaint, cancel the service, etc. But looking for every little way to get around the rules is wasting your time on something when you could be spending doing something that...

That's my point... You will not change the minds of people who think otherwise though. That's why I am saying to just let them do what they think they will get away with, and let them learn that they were wrong.

A lot of people have the same mentality about driving. They know the laws, they know the rules, but they think they're better than everyone else and the laws don't apply to them.

I think I'm going to ram them with my car one of these days.

I know, but some day I'll snap. There's no doubt that I will, it's just a question of when.

You're saying "just let them get away with it," but then you're asking for help to do it! If you aren't smart enough to figure it out on your own, you shouldn't be "working the system" anyway. If you can't figure out how to steal cable from your neighbor, maybe you don't really need it that badly anyway. If you don't want to pay for your stuff, cancel your service. If you got charged doing something and don't like it, don't do it again.

You must be reading me wrong. My point is that you will not change the minds of people who think that they can work the system.... Let them try and it will come back to bite them in the butt is my point.
