I’m sitting at home the other night, when the phone rings.
I answer it, and after a second, I hear
Voice: “Is XXX (my full name) there?”
Bad sign, no one uses my full name
Me: “This is”
Voice: “Hello, we are taking a short public opinionated poll. This will only take a few minutes”
<snerk><gaffaw> At least I managed to politely decline and hang up the phone before I burst out laughing.
I still haven’t decided is the script she was reading from said this, or if she didn’t know how to pronounce “opinion”
