retaining ties.

When I terminated my account with my previous service provider, I was asked whether I would like my mobile number retained. Without hesitation, i said yes. I figured since everyone else was doing it I should just follow suit. Even the salesman assumes I was gonna retain it anyway.

But then it hit me.

It wasn’t about the fee I had to pay to keep the number nor the convenience of not informing my closest pals about the change… It suddenly daunt on me that I’ve just been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to leave behind some pesky people from my past. I could severe bitter relationships with people I no longer care for! Isn’t that great? Imagine the look on their face when they tried to contact me thinking I’m ever so available for them only to find out that they have been shut out of my life. Ha! Take that! Betcha didn’t think I would leave you behind didn’t you? Whahaha… and you thought you were important…Wooowhahaha…

It feels so ritual yet so logical as the procedure was being presented to me there and then.

“Erm..sorry. On second thoughts, I think I’ll not retain it.”

*Salesman looks horrified - like he knew exactly what was going on in my twisted little head*
