    Man arrested for calling phone company 24,000 times to complain about it

    According to the company, Okamoto was upset that his telephone was not able to pick up radio broadcasts and called multiple times to vent his frustrations.

    At first, KDDI was reluctant to press charges against a paying customer. But the volume of his calls became too large to ignore, making it difficult to provide service to other clients. The tipping point came in the month before the arrest, when Okamoto called them 411 times in a single week demanding KDDI apologize for violating their contract.

    Perseverance will always get you places.

    The court is a place, after all.

    So is jail. He'll be questioning his life decisions when the Yakuza is bending him over. Then, and only then will he be justified in complaining about something, most likely hemorrhoids.

    An elderly citizen won't be jailed for a minor crime. More likely he'll be fined or under the home arrest.

    Truth be told, most complaints are bullshit anyway, whether they are lies, exaggerations, or the delusions of hypersensitive idiots. And the customer is not always right.

    Fortunately, I have not, but I have observed more than enough, both from different jobs of mine and from watching other people.

    Whoa Nelly. Like, fuckin' whoa. Sure as there's sun in the sky this guy committed a crime, but being a prolific to the point of nuisance caller doesn't warrant sodomy by Yakuza.
