So my Grandma passed away recently and Moms had her mail transferred to her address so she could close out Grandma's estate. This past week when she received a bill from the local phone company for $14.37 for "quarterly equipment rental fee" it raised her eyebrows. Upon further inspection she found out my grandma had been leasing a rotary phone from AT&T for the past 33 years, to the tune of roughly $4.00 a month. Which, friends, works out to about $1500.00 and some change. For a rotary phone. A baby shit brown rotary phone. Long story short, AT&T sent her a postage paid envelope to facilitate the return of said item. Seriously. The heading on the instructions started out "Dear valued AT&T customer..." so this is what my Moms put on the envelope for her return address.
P.S. - In case you are wondering, when asked just exactly what the fee would be if she failed to return this wonderful $1500.00 rotary phone, believe it or not, the person on the other end of the line did not have that exact figure readily available.
