A big, heart FUCK YOU to AT&T

So I’m getting my daily dose of the BBC world news when my stepson interrupts: “Telephone!”. Grumpy, I pick up.

Person on the other end -Hello, this is Sam from AT&T (“Sam”…yeah, right). May I speak with the person who pays the telephone bill?

Ackafool -What can I do for you Sam?

Sam -Did someone authorize switching your long distance carrier on this phone line?

Ackafool -What is this about, Sam?

Sam -Our records show that the long distance carrier for this number was recently changed…

Ackafool -Is this a sales call?

Sam -The long distance carrier for this number was switched from AT&T, and we’d like to get you back.

Ackafool -Sam, AT&T has NEVER been the long distance carrier for this number for the past 3 years that I’ve owned it, so if you’re trying to sell me on some long distance service, why don’t you just come out and say it instead of deceiving me into thinking I was slammed?

Sam -<click>

Sam or whoever you are, please tell the people who pay you to use deceptive telemarketing practices to shove a telephone handset up their corporate asses. Thank you.:mad:

We had a guy come to our house to tell us that we needed to “register with the hydro company”. After 20 or so minutes of trying to figure out what on earth he was talking about we realised that he was lying through his teeth and was actually trying to trick us into switching hydro companys. It was a totaly sureal experiance with him putting the pen into my husbands hand and saying “just sign here, you’ll have plenty of time to read the contract after”. He did this over and over. Once we clued in to what was actually going on we told him to leave and called the police.
