auxilary Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 I just had 2 calls from AT&T about long distance and local calling plans, about 10 minutes apart. Who the fucks calls me up at 9am on saturday? So in turn, I use such opportunities o entertain myself: 1st one: 5 min. ago: TM: hi sir, can i interest you in a new local calling plan? I'm sure you're tired of talking on your phone and paying high rates me: what's a phone? TM: It's uh.... the thing you're talking to me on? me: I don't have one of those TM: Of couse you do, you're talking on one right now! me: you lie! TM: Are you serious? You're talking to me on the phone right now! me: Blasphemy! This magic box is possessed! I'm going to have to exorcize it now! Begone, foul demons! *click* 2nd: TM: Hi, my name is Markus, and I'm calling to see if you're interested in signing up with at&t for long distance calling [let's ignore the fact that I already have at&t for long distance!] me: what are you wearing? TM: Excuse me? me: I said, what are you wearing? Is it sexy? *click* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest livewire23 Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 lol. they always call to offer my sister credit cards. (my sister is 10) Its hilarious. they go on for about 10 mins about how great their card is, and i listen patiently, and then say: well, if I can pry her away from her dolls after she gets back from her 4th grade class, I'll ask her if she needs another credit card. Then they call my mom and ask her "do you know how much your mortgage is?" That's a good one too, because we don't have a mortgage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruxGNZ Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Personaly I just hang up on them. My Dad on the other hand loves to screw with them. He will make up stuff like his wife was just killed in a car accident and how dare they call at a time like this. I think the best one was a lady called asking for my Mom. My Dad said, "I can get her, but she was just backed over by a dump truck and lost both her legs. She is in a wheel chair right now, it's gonna take some time for her to get to the phone, let me go get her." The lady on the phone was so apologetic and hung up right away. I guess she was promoting some fitness place that just opened up. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spdsk8r Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 The last time I received a call from AT&T it was on a Sunday, 1:00pm. We just sat down to lunch. The telemarketer had an accent that I could not understand. I asked to speak to her supervisor. When he got on the line I explained how they interrupted my dinner and I would like to speak to his supervisor. When he got on the line, I again explained how they had interrupted my dinner and by now it was cold. I asked to speak to his supervisor. He explained how I could not do that as his supervisor was not there, he was home eating dinner. I then informed him that they were a phone company and with the technology that they have they should have no problem doing a conference call or something like that to connect his supervisor. Well, even longer story shortened, I pulled some high level district something or other from his Sunday dinner to get his ear filled. Last time I ever received a call from AT&T.
