wrenbI just hung up on a telemarketer and then had to laugh. This was the snarkiest telemarketer I've ever spoken to.
Me: "Good afternoon <snip rest of standard greeting>"
Her: "Hi this is Mary, I'm calling about your copier"
Me: "Can you tell me where you're calling from?"
Her: "My desk"
Me: "And can you tell me what company you are from?"
Her: "Uranus" -- pronounced "Your anus"
Me: "Well in that case you're not my copier supplier, so please don't call me again".
This woman's voice was just so smarmy. I know it was a phishing call, but I have to wonder how the company that hired her expects anyone to buy that she's a legitimate supplier when she talks like that.
Ah well. It made me smile.
