If it were not true, I'd post it in "Humor" - story of an "awesome" ATT clerk [View all]

So I went to the ATT store today, to ask about the rules for my iPhone which I want to use in Europe. That’s what I told the uniformed handsome young guy and also that I plan to travel there in about a month.

He pushed buttons on his iPad. Started over. Tried again and I asked him if I had given him a real challenge, and he said yes I had, because they had absolutely no way to connect my phone in Europe. All other countries that start with E would work fine, as he turned the screen to me and said: “ See, here they all are, Egypt, Ethiopia etc. etc. but see for yourself, there is no Europe.”

I looked at him. I did not crack up. I did not even smile.
“Europe is a continent” I said, “and these are countries.”
Europe is a continent that is full of countries.

Oh, he said.
I did not know that.
