The Telemarketer Speaks. I Respond.

Cervaise

I am speechless in the presence of such majesty. If the SDMB were the NBA, Cervaise is Michael Jordan to my Manute Bol.

Oh, and this just in. After opining the following,

Claudia was also wondering if someone could please place some flowers on Algernon’s grave in the backyard.

Oh, how I was waiting for Cervaise’s reply to one of the worst attempts at self-defense I’ve ever seen. I’ve printed it up and am taking it home to the family.

Cervaise:

First, congratulations again. Much as I’d like to have some kind of solidarity, Claudia is just not coming across as someone I’d want working with me.

No… like I said, we hate calling businesses, hospitals, etc., though I’ll certainly admit that it’s more of a problem for them than it is for us. If we could get a list of every line owned by such an organization, we’d never call them again.

We already spend as little time as possible on the phone with them, and we don’t try the numbers again for two years. Our goal is to make sales, not make calls that are guaranteed not to end in sales.

I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted there. :wink:

Although i do not have a college education,I’nm not an idiot either so thanks for the vote of confidence none the less.

See my face? how about this. My face went from hysterical laughter to a bit of anger as the poster apparently decided that I should be the undisputed target of pent up anger.Sorry if I angered you, but as I posted previously,I have better things to do with my time than spend hours typing and trashing.Quit hating!

I eventually found the whole thing humerous as I managad to push the buttons of so many seemingly intelegent and hopefully tolerable ppl.Once again I have underestimated Unka Cecils readers.Thank you for the opportunity to yank all of your chains.It’s nice to have unmitigated power over you all.(insert evil laugh here)

In the meantime. Yaway bless you all and keep reading.Apparently our Unka Cecil Still needs to stamp out ignorance among his more riotous readers.

What’s that ‘D’ word?

Duh? Dimwit? Dork? Doofus? Dingleberry? Dippy, perhaps?

Does anyone know where I can pick up some show tickets? I’ve recently had a hankering to watch Yanni’s houseboy vomiting into a moon boot.

Cthellis:

Just answer the phone and say yes, of course. Most folks are going with a pair of those tickets this year, but we do still have the single one if you just want to help out…

Sir? Are you still there?

Now THAT was funny. Damn, that’s good. Kudos. Man, all of you who don’t get the reference are missing a good one.

I just wanted to make sure everyone read that line.

ok… i am only posting this to bring this wonderful rant back to the top so folks who might have missed it can enjoy.

Thanks Eusabian. I did miss it the first time around. My surname is a little odd, so when I hear someone call and garble it I know it is a telemarketer. And when they ask for “Mrs.------” I answer, in my best chilly voice, “This is MS------” and listen to them stutter as I put the phone down.

My head hurts. I’ve read this whole thread, including Claudia VonL’s pathetic come-back and I was holding my head in my hands as I slogged through her post. I’ve certainly made spelling and grammar boo-boos in the past, but…Holy God’s Throbbing Prostate, Batman! I work with students who are new to this country and THEY have a far better grasp of the English language then Claudia VonL. Not to mention she seems to be avoiding Cervaise’s many well-written and well-argued points…or not getting them…most likely the latter.

Cervaise, thank you again for supplying more sig material with “Pick up a book sometime, you dumb fuck.” I may have to add that to my sig.

jk1245 - LOVED the “Flowers for Algernon” ref! I hear the movie version, “Charlie,” kinda sucked. Did you see it and if so what do you think of it? Worth renting or no?

I Need to Take Some Ibuprofen,
Patty

Wow, didn’t expect to see this come back.

Re the last question: Charly is actually a decent movie. Cliff Robertson won the best-actor Oscar in the title role. It’s somewhat simplified from the book, but ain’t that always the way?

By the way, it looks like Claudia VonL hasn’t been back since her last feeble attempt at a smackdown. Can’t say I’ve missed her.

Where?

I am, God, throbbingly prost®ate before you.
Jeezuz- I’ve never seen anything that good. It’s freakin nuclear…

Cervaise, I saw this the first time 'round but I glad it’s re-surfaced, just so I can add my voice to those complimenting you for a true work of art.

…not quite sure how I missed this…
…but I sure am glad it popped back up. Great rant. I loved not having to WAIT for the next post:)

Claudia,
In case you are still around and stop by, please post your phone number. I’m sure you have one, and that would mean that you really do want ALL of us to call you, and have our friends call you between 9 and 9 everyday for no reason at all but to annoy you. Put your money where your mouth is.

AWESOME OP btw:)

I can’t believe I read the whole thing! What a great rant! On a more serious note:

CV:

I cannot express how much it disturbs me that there are so many half-wits out there who aren’t smart enough understand the difference between hating people for who they are and despising annoying, obnoxious, self-centered and harmful behavior. People like this are in a class by themselves. This isn’t just a lack of intelligence. This is a brainless, malevolent evil. It gives me chill to realize that such people don’t see that in themselves. Not to be mean here, but Claudia gives addled cows a bad name.

Cervaise,

I just wanted to say, I have been online in various places for 14 years now, and that is a work of art. Despite seeing uncounted flames and rants in that period, I have never seen such a thorough immolation. While the target was large and non-mobile, the way you reduced it to ashes should be studied and taught to novices as an example of what they can aspire to.
