It is this type of moron that is, in large part, responsible for this country’s economic ills. Roaming charges are laid out in black and white for all of us wireless subscribers. And if he needed to find out what the charges might be during his travels (which he SHOULD have done before he stepped out of his house), he could have called his wireless provider or logged on to his account with them. Don’t be outraged at the wireless provider! You should be slamming the moronic customer who cannot read his service agreement that HE signed. Same with home mortgages: The Terms are right there in black and white.

Of course its the phone companys fault. The man managed a resort in mexico, I think we can assume he had some intellegence. Who hasnt done something with a cell phone and recieved a huge bill. You scream OMG, pay the darn thing and either upgrade or never do THAT again. But 62,000 dollars. THATS INSANE. What did they do hand deliver each scene in a private jet. Come on its only a signal, vibrating air waves. All the phone companys care about is your money. If they cared about thier customers this would never have happened. The only way you should be able to run your bill up that high is if on your application under “Job Description” you wrote C.E.O.
