So, despite this whole "no call list" that the Canadian gov't was supposed to put in place several years ago, we get several calls a day from telemarketers. Usually I hear that tell tale call-center click and I can hang up before they start speaking.
I fumbled my phone and missed the window today.
"Hello?" I say, in my very clearly female voice.
Older lady with a North American accent says, "Is this Mr. Magpie?"
"No."
"Mrs. Magpie?"
My limited patience for this kind of thing is now gone. And I can hear call center activity going on behind her, so I say, "Sorry, we're not interested."
And as I'm hanging up, I hear, "I haven't even said anything yet! Cow-dung!" (Only not so polite.)
Seriously, lady? You're calling me unsolicited from a call center and you're offended because I hung up on you? I think it might be time to consider a new career.
(For the record, I do not want my ducts cleaned, I don't believe I've won a cruise, no, you're not from Microsoft, and to the ones who claim to be calling from the Canada Revenue Agency, may you roast in hell, you elder-abusing scum.)
