You have been selected ..

Oh My Farking Gawd I have a serious case of the giggles... I am being stalked by a telemarketer with a foul mouth and a bad attitude. So why Am I Laughing?????

The phone rings and the Offspring dithers and hands the phone to me..

( he knows the protocol we put telemarketers on hold here..)

Salesman: Hello Madam you have been selected for a free mobile phone

Me: No I am sorry I am not interested, thankyou, goodbye...click

ring ring ring

The offspring answers again

Salesman:Goddammit I am trying to give you free phone and you are hanging up

Offspring: Hangs up.

ring ring ring

Salesman: I am being fucking pissed off. I am trying to give you a fucking good phone
and you are fucking hanging up on me .

Me: Giggles, loudly (I couldn't help myself)

Salesman: Why are you finding this funny.It is a fucking good phone Godammit

Me: Giggling loudly and doing a bad salesman impersonation walks away from the phone to get another beer...

Leaving the salesman hanging as it was...

Too funny - golly they're persistent buggers! I like the one where you ask them for their home number so you can call them just as they are about to eat... ;)

Hehehe, that's brightened my morning reading that! I had soooo many telemarketers call us at work this past week...including someone calling about our Telstra account. We only have one, that's my father's mobile. She wanted to talk to the owner (Dad or Mum) and I asked her if it was a sales call. No, no, this is a general call.

Told Dad what she said but that I thought it was a sales call...and of course it was. Everyone wanting to get bigger commissions before Christmas...

Back in the day of door-to-door salesmen, my father beat one up who wouldn't take his foot out of the door.
Crazy bahstid. But he wasn't bothered again. Guess word got around.
