The Daily Ping

Apple did not consult with us when they named Ping, Ping.

T-Mobile

On Friday, I stopped by a T-Mobile store in the mall on the way home to pick up a cheap cell phone and sign up on their prepaid plan. I was expecting it to be a big ordeal after my Sears experience and joked with Paul, “I hope this doesn’t become Pingworthy.”

I went in, told them what I wanted, picked my phone (the worlds crappiest cell phone ever!), they set it up, I paid, and I walked out ten minutes later. It was very efficient and easy.

So, even though I got a Ping out of it, it was one of the least Pingworthy customer service experiences I’ve had in a while.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
