Dumb Telemarketer

[wrenb]

I 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.

Jerk back. Tell her you have to have a credit card number for verification before you can talk about your copier.

My favorite telemarketer call was the guy from Maxim, who wanted to talk to my boss. When I refused (several times, in slightly more obnoxious ways each time), he said, "I'm gonna tell him how unhelpful you were!"

A. You can't tell him. I'm not letting you talk to him.
B. Go right ahead. He'll probably give me a raise.

At a previous job I had a toner guy tell me, when I wouldn't agree to let him send me "trial" toner cartridges, that my boss was a moron for letting a "stupid bitch like [me]" work for him and spend his money. Yeah, that'll get you some sales, bud. :eyeroll:
