Telemarketing!

I get a call about 8:30 am this morning. Groggily lift my head, look at the caller display. "Unknown caller". Hmm, I think to myself. I better answer it, it could be someone important. Answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Good morning! Mr. blah blah?"

"Yes."

"How are doing this morning?"

"I was having a good morning. Then this phone call woke me up."

Silence for a few seconds.

"Well, sorry about that, I'm calling this morning to inform you of this great deal we're offering on yadda yadda yadda..."

On and on. Okay. Now I'm really pissed off. This lady has some set of balls to be distubing me at 8:30 in the morning for this stupidity. Well, it's not a total loss I suppose. I can still have some fun.

So, she's offering to switch from my cable provider to ASDL from Bell. I act really interested.

"Really! Can you tell me more about X feature?"

"What's the advantage of switching?"

"That's incredible! This deal sounds very promising!"

"Is there any way I can combine this with my phone service to get a discount? Really? Incredible!"

So she's go on for about 15 mins describing all the stuff to me, answering all these questions I come up with.

"Wow, this all sounds really incredible! Your really offering a great deal."

"So would you like to sign up for Bell Hi-Speed Express?"

"No."

*click*

Ah, the moral of the story? Any situation can be turned around to your advantage.

"An ambuscade, when discovered and promptly surrounded, will repay the intended mischief with interest." -- Socrates, I believe.

Turn that frown, upside down!
