Netflix Kicks Ass!

Published by auria cortes at 2:52 am under 30 Days to Justice, Friday Night Movie

netflix.JPGRain and Erika recommended movies for me to watch. I want to rent each from Netflix but I lost the last DVD I rented. Okay, I think I threw it out. To top it all off, I threw it out and I never got the opportunity to watch it. The movie is called Deadline, a doc regarding the death penalty. Watching Deadline is part of my research for 30 Days to Justice.  

Anyway, I called Netflix to let them know what happened. Not only are they going to resend Deadline, but they aren’t going to charge me for the lost DVD. That totally rocks. I wonder if Sprint will be as nice to me and waive the sex phone number I called. Before you go into a tizzy and think that Doug’s comment regarding “Woody” got to me, let me explain. 

Yes, I am single but thankfully I’ve never had to pay for phone sex. My guy friends readily obliged me in the category. I tease, folks. I tease.  

It appears that Netflix toll free line is almost identical to a sex hotline. I misdialed when calling Netflix. I hung up immediately when I heard a raspy woman’s voice say “big fella” – no lie. I immediately called Sprint to avoid the phone charge - which I’m sure will be ridiculous. Customer service is closed until Monday. I’ll have to wait until then.  

Hopefully Sprint will remove the charge without a problem. But somehow I doubt it. 

P.S. Erika I didn’t forget about The Exonerated. I want to blog about Deadline and The Exonerated on the same day. Look for my commentary soon.

    Hey, Bit Fella -

    “Talk To Me” is an ‘07 flick worth watching, by the way. It’s based on a true story about an ex-conict who became a popular radio talk show host and activist in the 60s. Something to check out if NetFlix hasn’t blacklisted you. I enjoyed it, I think you might, too, knock on Wood.

    sunshine, the sad thing is that if you knew me this irresponsible behavior wouldn’t be a surprise.

    I like the fact that there aren’t any late fees. They have great customer service. I’ve tried both Blockbuster and Netflixs, I like Netflixs better, because they have a better variety of foreign films.

    “when I heard a raspy woman’s voice say “big fella”

    ROTFLMAO!
