HOW TO BEAT THE PHONE SALESMAN PERSON
doggone overseas phone companies give me the willies!
They call you up and want you to change to some strange phone company that I aint ever heard of and they cant even hear you over thiner crappy phone line. Yeah I wanna change to their fabulous service.
Its also very hard to get rid of them too, or so I thought until the other day when one of them called my house and I was in a scampy mood.
They called us asking for my housemate who the phones name is in. He dont like his name to be mentioned for some reason so lets call my housemate Mr Dick.
Overseas phone operator (very crackly line and heavy accent): Hello, is that Mr Dick?
Me (very hunky and smoothly spoken, like chocolate milk pouring through a mountain stream): No he isnt home
Phone guy: Oh are you a relation to him?
Me: Relation? Oh yes we have relations with each other
Phone bozo: Oh good. Now are you on broadband or dial up internet?
Me: What are you asking me?
Phoney: Are you on broadband or dialup internet at your house there sir?
Me: Broads? Oh yes we have lots of broads here, all kinds of them. Do you want to speak to the broads?
Phone dude: No thankyou sir, have a nice day!
And he hung up on me! I pissed him off and he hung up on me! A triumph!
Now I wait patiently for the next door knocker to come by, they are gonna get some fun!

The other one is to say "Yes, I'll just get them for you. Hang on for a minute" and put the phone down.
When you remember, pick the phone up and say "Yeah, sorry, won't be long now." and so on for however long it takes for them to get sick of you and hang up.
Apparently they don't like being on there for more than 30 seconds unless they are certainly going to make a sale. It costs them too much then... great stuff.
