Telesales woman ruined her afternoon, and made mine.

You know how sometimes when you get a marketing call the operator is chatting to their mate when you pick up and you hear their conversation before they realise they're connected. I got the best ever today:


RING RING.....RING RING....

<Pick up>

Her:.....and I don't need that kind of sh1t.

Me: Don't need that kind of what?

Her: Hello is that Mr Curtain?

Me: You don't need that kind of what?

Her: Oh!

CLICK....Brrrrrrrrrrrr


That put a smile on my face, I can't help thinking of the phrase:

"This call may be recorded for training purposes".

In a vaguely similar vein, before they had access to every little detail about you on thier screens...
Midway through a tele-conversation with a female within a company i'd rung......

Her...'can i take you number ?'
Me....'That's a little forward isn't it ?, we've only just met !!!'

Stunned silence....then a giggle



Or...one of my favourites,
Ring a company, when they answer, say 'Good morning, (insert company) how can i help you ?
Stunned silence...then they answer 'But you just rang me !!!'
'Sorry ?, i'm answering YOUR call'
Stunned silence....WHITTOCK, is that you you b'stard

i have always been taught that when ever a phone call is finished , never to make a comment till the receiver has cleared the line , try staying on the line after saying good bye its amazing how many times the other person makes a comment and they are not always nice ones

I feel sorry for tele sales people, except the obnoxious pushy ones of course. Some work from home.
One lady of my acquaintance says, 'how long do you have to keep me talking before you get commission love?'
'Five minutes'.
'Away you go then dear' and she goes back to whatever she's doing.
