Note to self: Don’t get AOL because you may never be able to end up cancelling the account. I blogger recently recorded his experience of calling into the AOL phone center to cancel his account. You can listen here. This audio might be one of the most frustrating things to listen to. The AOL phone guy is very condescending to the caller and the caller starts getting more and more pissed off. Eventually, the AOL guy even asks for the 30-year-old blogger’s Dad to come to the phone. I mean, seriously… this is just sad. The worst part about it is that the phone folks are trained to not let you close your account easily. Its the same experience if you try to cancel a credit card. They probably get some sort of commission or bonus for convincing people not to close their accounts. Crazy.
