So, I've been with with Vodafone for nine and a half years, and increasingly pissed off with how the deals they advertise to new customers are so much better than those available to loyal customers. The occasion of leaving them, then, offers an opportunity to savour in playing the part of "You've wronged me, you evil capitalist corporation, and now liddl'ol me's going to get my revenge by leaving you, and there's nothing you can do to stop me..." in response to their anticipated begging that "we'll be nice and friendly from now on, promise".
But I made a mistake. They asked me if there was any particular reason why I wanted to leave.
"Yes, there are two," I told them, winding up for my first salvo of complaints. "The first is that I quite fancy an iPhone..."
"Ah, well, say no more," came the interruption. "Don't blame you" (I'm not actually quoting directly, but it was words and sentiments to that effect).
And with that, Vodafone accepted defeat, and I lost the opportunity to do my longsuffering bleeding heart act. Damn.
The more worrying aspect is the shocking evidence of parents conditioning their offspring to select, and 'dance' to, Coldplay. The technology to undo the harm this will cause in future decades has yet to be invented.
