Vonage and ATT

Vonage's broadband telephone connection service provides reasonably priced long distance that never, ever fucking works. The best part about having your phone attached to your Internet is that whenever you lose the Internet, your land line goes down too. This is great news for people who enjoy burning through cell phone minutes while they wait for a rude, mouth-breathing ex-convict at AT&T to take them off hold. In fact, if you want to be angry pretty much every time you (try to) use the phone, I can't recommend a better combination than Vonage and AT&T.

The "No Call" Rejection

Some people think simply not calling a person is a perfectly acceptable way to say “not interested.” I am not one of these people. Specifically, I’m talking about a situation where you go on one or two dates with someone and then for whatever reason decide that you’re no longer interested in dating them. But instead of calling and politely saying, “hey I think you’re nice, but you’re just not right for me,” you simply don’t return their calls. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the motivation to go the no-call route—no doubt, it’s a lot easier on the party doing the rejecting. But it’s also rude as hell and completely immature. So here’s what I have to say to no-call rejectors: Any person that was willing to take time out of their schedule to go on one or more dates with you deserves the basic respect of a polite call saying you aren’t interested. Any other method just makes them feel bad and you look like an asshole.
