Telemarketing

I hate telemarketers. I hate anyone who bothers you at home offering you a variety of stuff that will get you junkmailed into oblivion. I ma pro-murder as far as these people are concerned.
And I have a reason.
For once.

I have just been on the phone to some guy in India offering me a free mobile phone. Here is the abridged version:

"We will give you free mobile phone with 20 minutes video messaging. One more thing. We will give you many free texts. One more thing. It will be at a low line rental cost."

"Err.... Sorry, I'm not interested."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"We will give you free mobile phone with 20 minutes video messaging. One more thing. We will give you many free texts. One more thing. It will be at a low line rental cost."

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."

"Are you sure? How old are you?"

"I don't thin you have to know, but 15."

"Are, so you are teenager. Does your girlfriend talk to you on phone?"

"No.I'm not interested."

"In girlfriends?"

"In the phone. I'm just not interested!"

It goes in, getting progressively more annoying. The whole, not interested in girlfriends thing gets repeated by him four times.I repeat that it's the phone I'm not interested in four times. The urge to find out where he lives so I can kill him gets stronger and stronger. By the end I just hung up, took the batteries out of the phone and muffled it. Just in case.

Does not wanting a new mobile phone make you gay???

You in the US?

Remember this phrase.

"Take my name off your list"

By law they are supposed to honor the request. Ever notice they hang up really fast when you say no?
