i have reason to believe that my phone company is after me...

all i needed to do was pay my bill over the phone. the automated voice read me the confirmation number, then said "one moment, while i connect you to an operator".

"but, i don't want to talk to an operator. i just paid my bill."

"i said 'ONE MOMENT, PLEASE'."

then, the automated voice disconnected and transferred my call to a male operator with a southern accent.

"how can i be of service to you today?"

"i don't need to talk to you. i just paid my bill and the automated system sent me to you."

"mr. talbot, can i get the last four digits of your social security number?"

"xxxx."

i heard the tapping on the keyboard.

"thank you, mr. talbot. have a nice day!"

DIAL TONE.

i hung up the phone and paced the room. maybe they're involved with the Illuminati or Nigeria.
