Man returns phone to carrier… without leaving car

Talk about an irate customer. This was from engadget.
Phone doesn’t work? Mad and have a 4,000 pound car? Good, just smash it through the front door and all your cell phone problems will be solved.
When we talk about phone use leading to traffic incidents, this is not typically what we mean. It seems a gentleman in Korea — we’ll simply call him “Kim,” since that’s the only name we have for him — got just a little upset when his shiny new Samsung handset still wasn’t working after sixteen calls and two in-store visits to carrier SK Telecom. What really set the dude off, though, was a SKT employee suggesting that the phone be replaced with a different model when the original was out of stock (what nerve!). Next thing you know, Kim’s chilling outside SK Telecom headquarters, filled with rage — and, oh yeah, a 4,000 pound Mercedes with “Delinquent SK” scrawled across it. Them’s fightin’ words, of course, and SKT tried to get him to skedaddle. The attempt backfired, though, when Kim skedaddled right through the building’s revolving doors. Lesson to carriers: do everything in your power to replace your customers’ defective phones after a maximum of fifteen support calls. Lesson to customers: if you aim for the glass instead of the door, you can probably make it into the building without as much damage to the front end.

His cell phone must be the only one not working. The people on the right seem to be having a picture taking feel day.
Amzingly the car seems to have sustained very little damage if any. I guess a Benz is a rock solid car. Can’t say the same about the integrity phone however.
