    • BalooUrsidae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Verizon. We never start working for you.
  • nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I didn't exactly get: "a 4,000 pound Mercedes with "Delinquent SK" scrawled across it. Them's fightin' words, of course"

    Did someone actually write on the guy's car, or was this symbolic? Like "I own a Mercedes, how dare they act like I'm delinquent."
    • BillDoE, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2In the comments it says, it was a rental.
    • SMITHN4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5@ BillDoe
      Actually the story says it was registered to a friend.
  • LonesomeFighter, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2"just smash it through the front door and all your cell phone problems will be solved."
    no, I pretty sure they don't give you a good cell phone plan in jail. But if you are lucky to not go to jail, then I'm pretty sure they don't give you a good cell phone plan after driving a car into their building.
    • dsignr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11But hey... at LEAST he used the front door. Manners are big in South Korea.
  • djSyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2This story would be a lot better if the guy actually had the balls to smash up his *own* car. According to a different article, it belonged to a friend.

  • DarkMeld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18why are people so mad, it was an accident ;)
  • MeanGeno, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1What a dumbass!
  • ForlornHope, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11It's also a pretty good way to inform the dealership that you found the test drive underwhelming.
  • cutewillie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Whole new meaning to "hands free"
  • auwino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Must have been playing Charades. The phone company probably wished they had gotten him to interpret "bluetooth" on the phone instead of "crashing" of the phone.
  • monkeyrun, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Next thing you know, he'll smash the car into his mother's house, because she gave him a defective brain.
    • ABadInAlbany, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Perhaps YOUR mother should beware as well then?
    • monkeyrun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Apparently he's not my brother, so no.
  • colecut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I'm normally a pretty mild-tempered person, but T-Mobile has definitely caused me to have thoughts of doing something like that.. Can definitely sympathize with the dude.
  • m00dy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1The benz belonged to Kim's friend.
    • toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1He's friends with the rental company?
  • republicker, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7How dare him.... phone companies never ***** thier customers w/ taxs and jacked up contracts or have ***** custserv....sarc/

    I know the feeling i spent a total of 12 hours on the phone w/ Cingular trying to get a brand new Cingular wireless internet card to work in a brand new Vio laptop. After talking to the 4th level of experts(not really experts), they still couldnt fix the problem, which was a software problem, but they woulnd admit it...... AFTER ALL THE WASTED TIME THEY STILL WOULDNT LET ME OUT OF THE CONTRACT. I PAID THE 150 BUCKS AND BIT MY LIP.......***** THIS IM PISSED AGAIN AND I OWN AN 18 WHEELER
    • ABadInAlbany, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Cingular == *****. I have my own Cingular horror story, but taking the time to write it up will bring back year-old rage.
    • monk3yboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If you are mad at a phone company do something to the execs/corporate hq that make the rules that give you grief, not the retail reps. They get more crap than anyone would believe. People complain that they get horrible service from retail stores but the reps that work there get untold amounts of crap even when trying to help customers.

      /end rant
  • Misaiato, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I've been to Korea twice - and having dated a Korean for 2 years - in my experience this is par for the course.
    • mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I didnt understand what you just said....
    • monkeyrun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I think he said, "My Korean Girlfriend drove my car into my apartment after we broke up."
  • bwanac, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Dugg because description of article made me lawl. Thanks for making my day better!
    • PlaidPhantom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I agree, so I want to digg up.
      I saw the 'word' "lawl", so I want to slap you.

      Today is not my day. ;)
  • Jinekace, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0This is the reason why you shouldn't talk to customer services while driving a car.
  • Metaridley, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9What do you think he said as he revved up the engine?

    "THIS IS SPARTAAAA!!!!!"

    Admit it, you'd do it to if you were in his shoes.
  • rockandrollmark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0wouldn't a Mercedes at least make it all the way through the doors?
  • tehloxely, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1hahahaha that was effin great!
  • pw1388, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2damn thats a S class!!! But hey look at the car it still looks good. lol. He didnt punch hard enough to go through the door.
  • viviwanu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1and no more cat woman will be good for man kind.
  • imrienator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'd use a 1984 Crown Vic... Look out Rogers, I'm getting pretty faucking sick of your ***** high prices and crap support!
