You purchased this phone at a "Gumby's" convenience store a ways away from here. You admit to have purchased it there, show me a receipt indicating it as such, show me that the phone is a brand no pharmacy around here carries, produce written instructions that the clerk at the "Gumby's" gave you, along with the PIN to activate it and the phone card you purchased with it, and then pronounce that you had it for TWO days and you want it activated by us, NOW. You have no desire to figure out how your phone works, don't want to call the number on said instructions yourself, can't rustle up a convenient family member or friend or next door neighbor to help you, and then suddenly want US to help you with your phone.
Us. At an Aid of Rite. Who don't even carry your brand of phone.
Bonus points for having the gall to get bitchy at us when we tell you no. Throw tantrum saying that the guy at "Gumby's" shouldn't have sold you a phone you can't use and curse us out for not helping you.
Bonus Story: Reinforcements
This thread happened to me in real life today, just not as dramatic.
10 year old boy wanders in to purchase cough medicine that has detrometonjkfjvfjvfdjklphan in it (can't remember, I know it's dextro something) that according to Aid of Rite policy, needs to be over 18 to purchase. I politely explain to the boy that I really, really can't sell it to him because of the detrofewufr89r3q89jkbnxophan and kids drinking it for fun, take a look at the other brands and see if he can find one without the dextrovfjkofijopridsjriophan in it or else bring his mom in. Kid looks at the other brands, then says he'll be back in a minute.
A minute later, boy's 18 year old brother wanders in.
"Hey, that kid that was sick? I'm his brother. He needs that medicine, yo."
"I'm really sorry, but I can't sell to him. Are you 18?"
"I don't have my ID."
"Then I really can't. I'm sorry, but you need to bring in your mom or come back tomorrow with your license. I feel for you, but I really, really can't. I'm so sorry."
At least he was understanding, but honestly. I can't.

I wonder what this one is supposed to do....
There's 10 mg of Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is in my diabetic tussin. Okay, one of the two. The other one's locked in my car so I don't know what's in that one.
