[Q] Problem.. stupid people and now i've got this dumb SIM "PUK Code" to deal with!!

Cliff Notes: My buddy mistakenly tried to get past my SIM lock on my phone with no luck, now I'm SIM LOCKED OUT. It's requiring a PUK Code now and I have no other phone handy to call Verizon tech support to get this fixed. This is my only phone. I have a PC, if that helps? That's what I'm typing this on now. Help, please?

Story:

I had a SIM lock code on my phone, which only I knew the lock code. Well, last night I was at a friend's house and there were several of us over there hangin out, etc. Well, there's a couple of us that have phones that look essentially exactly the same...White Verizon S3's, but we have slightly different black colored cases on our phones. Soooo...If you've been cookin out that night and doin a little drinkin & these 2 phones were sitting side by side on the kitchen counter charging, one could easily grab the wrong phone mistakenly. LOL Well, that's exactly what happened last night. My buddy and I made the mistake of setting our phones side by side on the kitchen counter to charge last night and we both had them turned off while charging(charges faster that way). Well, of course, the idiot that he is, he walks over to grab what he THOUGHT was his phone, but instead grabbed my phone. He proceeds to pull the charging cord out of it and power it up. Well, my luck...he's presented with my SIM Lock password prompt. He is so stupid that he really thought it was his phone and a mysterious password prompt had just MAGICALLY appeared on on his phone upon bootup. He didn't even think to ask me what was goin on or anything because he genuinely thought it was his phone..lol Well, he starts typing in things that he thinks will work... his gmail pass, his screensaver pass, etc. OBVIOUSLY none of those worked because it was MY PHONE! lol Well, after a few unsuccessful attempts he's locked out of MY PHONE. Now, at this time he comes to me and asks me what the hell is goin on with "his phone" and ohhhhhh yeaaaaa, I'M FURIOUS! This imbecile has now locked ME out of MY PHONE. It's now saying that I need to enter a "PUK Code" to get back into my phone...I've tried everything to no avail, with the exception of calling Verizon Tech Support. Now I've had this problem before where my ex-gf tried to get into my phone with no luck and got locked out with a PUK Code prompt. I Simply used her phone to call Verizon tech support and they walked me thru the steps to clear that code, but I can't remember how to do it...& this is a different phone than my last, so those old steps won't work. OK, well ya'll are probably thinkin "Why don't you just call Verizon Tech Support again, get the problem fixed, and quit whining on here about it. You know what to do!!" OK, well that's the issue here guys. I'm at home and this is my ONLY PHONE. I don't have any other phone to use to call Verizon and get walked through the steps. That's where you amazing people come into play! lol I was just gonna see if someone, anyone, knows how to clear this dang thing so I can use my phone once again! I'm sittin here at my PC typing this and my phone is just plugged up here in front of me lifeless...waiting for me to enter the correct PUK code. =/ If anyone could help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it! Once again, if I had a land-line or another phone handy, I would simply call Verizon and not even worry about posting this up on here, but this is my only phone...grrr.. Sorry about the long post.. Thanks, guys!
