Telemarketers

so a telemarketer from MCI just called. he starts by saying "i know this probably isn't a good time, but...". if he knew it wasn't a good time, why the fuck did he call? and then expect me to do business with them? ha! i don't think so.

I have fun with those people. My favorite conversation with a long distance salesman started out with "I'm not trying to sell you anything...". So I continued with him by thanking him for calling because he must have known I was bored. I inquired about the weather where he was, shared our weather forcast, asked what movies he'd seen lately. Then he starts in on his sales pitch... "What??? I thought you weren't going to sell me anything.Why did you lie to me? I could never buy anything from someone who has lied to me." Click. Hehehe, I hope that one was recorded.
