    There was a story of this guy who called customer service to complain about TV cable quality or something, threating them to cancel the contract. They went ahead and cancelled it and he retracted, saying that they should’ve offered a price drop, but it was too late, he would have to wait for an “installer” to visit him.

      I know this story… but from the other side. A friend of mine was the support agent on the other end of this scenario. Had a customer call in, go on an abusive rant, then threaten to cancel. He just cancelled them on the spot and told them the whole be a reconnect fee if he wanted to restore services.

      He got in trouble for that one, but absolutely worth it.
