That Just Happened, Episode 2: Metro PCS? Welp, Nice Talking to You.

by Jenny McCoy on January 27, 2010

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.
