I play a pretty solid wing girl.
Recently, this role allowed me to witness the following situation play out between a single friend, her Man of Interest and an innocent dart board.
“…. what phone service do you have?” – Friend
“Metro PCS.” – Man of Interest
“WHOA. Do you have bad credit or what?” – Friend
“What?” – Man of Interest
“Metro PCS. That’s like for people who can’t open bank accounts.” – Friend
“Yah, I have to back that up. Every time my purse has gotten stolen the first charge on my credit card is at Metro PCS.” – Me
[Moment of silence]*
This is one of the worst burns I’ve ever witnessed. I mean, I’m drinking PBR in a can and he’s taking the hit for being broke? Although, I do recall a girl asking a Man of Interest if he was gay once and I imagine that was worse than a dive bar credit check.
*Somehow that conversation got back on track and Friend and Man of Interest were still talking when I caught a ride home. Miracles do happen.

Dude should have known better. That's one of those classic “Questions with only wrong answers” women love to ask at bars.
Haha, well I think in this case “Metro PCS” was really the only wrong answer. Maybe a land line or a “this is my dad's cell too” would have been worse though.
Well, even if he says Verizon or AT&T, what can he really gain? The best he can hope for is merely to satisfy a requirement. Not a fair trade in my book.
