I rarely get telelmarketers’ calls anymore. I’ve said “take me off your list” so many times that I really don’t get bothered anymore. Then I noticed an unknown name start showing up on my caller ID. Three days in a row they called and I didn’t answer. Today was the fourth. I picked up the phone for the hell of it.
Her : Could I speak to Mr. or Mrs. Neutron?
Me : This is Mr.
Her : Great! I’m calling on behalf of your phone company, BellSouth, to offer you a great deal! Have you ever been bothered by all those unknown names on your caller ID that are usually telemarketers and -
Me : You mean like you?
Her : Uh, yes, and I apologize, but -
Me : Goodbye.

Amazing. Truly amazing. I almost feel sorry for the girl. It seems like selling a device like that over the phone would be almost as hard as the telemarketing job that I held for a whopping 45 minutes at age 17 - calling random people, no matter what their age, and trying to sell them funeral plots.
This is like somebody smearing dog shit all over your car for no apparent reason, then trying to sell you a car wash. What a fucking joke. Go to hell, BellSouth.
