Thanks, Orange; Thorange.

A couple of months back, I asked Orange to switch my contract SIM to pay-as-you-go. I can't help but notice I AM STILL ON CONTRACT, BUT NOW WITH A NEW 12-MONTH LOCK IN, THANKYOUVERYMUCH.

Earlier in the week I had a visit from a very pushy NPower salesman who wouldn't take no for an answer and did my favourite sales technique ever, which is to be utterly baffled that anyone could possibly be so stupid as to not want anything to do with his amazing savings offer that may or may not save me some money at an unspecified time in the future, if the stars align in a favourable condition and stuff. Unfortunately, I was unable to find the spade that's been knocking around the hallway for months, meaning I was unable to dig a hole in his head to see why he was so easily baffled.

There is of course no point to this post other than to complain about the injustice of the world, especially with regards to those parts of it involved in the hilariously misnamed trade of "customer services" and door-to-door sales. I find it decidedly unreasonable that I be prevented by law from shooting such curs in the face with a bow and arrow.
