I utterly despise phone contracts and filling in forms

Post Body

I recently got a text telling me that my phone contract was about to run out, so I called my provider. At the time I thought getting an upgrade (new phone) would be a good idea. But like a day later I changed my mind and I asked if I could cancel the order. Apparently they can't do that and now I have to fill in this return form, wait a few days for them to give me a return bag and then call them back to renew my contract on my current phone which I want to keep.

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I hate filling out forms and waiting for responses. I don't know why, but it fills me with an awful anxiety and I have nobody else in my life who can do this for me. I think it's the fear of getting some details wrong and getting into trouble. I hate returning things, I hate the waiting around. I especially hate this with phones, since I need my phone for work and don't want any disruptions that will interupt my life in a major way. The helpline people assure me that I won't be left without a number, but I don't trust them, as they've been unreliable in the past and given me false information before.

Maybe I'm just stupid. In fact, I'm pretty sure I am. Everything in life seems to revolve around filling in forms and I'm simply no good at it. I cannot wait to get this phone sent back and have my contract renewed on my current device.

Oh, and this is during my annual leave too, so I'm just feeling fantastic about this!!! /s
