We get these calls at my workplace a lot. Or at least we did, now it’s just the home mortgage people.
Back when we got the car warranty people though, I used to try to convince them that I drove the batmobile. It usually took a few minutes for them to get wise to the fact that I was screwing with them.
I tried that recently. The fella hemmed and hawed, then eventually said, “Can you please confirm the type of vehicle that you drive?”
“Wait a minute,” I said. “Shouldn’t you know that? You’re the one who said that my warranty was expiring.”
After an uncomfortable silence, he said, “Okay. You’ve got us. We’re a scam. Yeah, we’re just out to take your money.”
I’ve been expiring even since I was conceived.
