Trying to "Can" AOL? Good luck.
I think the AOL account representatives must have some kind of hidden directive where they are not allowed to let someone unsubscribe from AOL until they have suffered for at least 5–10 minutes on the phone.
Have a listen to this audio which supports my theory :-)
I fantasize about subscribing just so I can experience this myself. Of course, I would have my own directive… cancel in under 60 seconds. I can see it now…
Me> I would like to cancel my account.
Them> I’m sorry to hear that, but have you heard…
Me> Fuck you, cancel my account.
Them> Great, I can certainly help you with that. Before we get into the details, have you heard…
Me> Fuck you, cocksucker, cancel my goddamn account.
Them> No problem sir, I can help you with that but I’d just like to tell you about our new…
Me> ONE FUCK TWO FUCK THREE FUCK FOUR, I DON’T WANT AOL ANYMORE!
etc.
