Cold callers

Grandad February 23rd, 2008

I have found a new tactic for dealing with cold callers.

I got tired of asking them for proof of identity.

Voice: Am I speaking to Grandad?

Me: You are.

Voice: Hello. I’m from TalkTalk.

Me: Fuck off.

Voice: Pardon?

Me: I don’t like cold callers. Fuck off.

Voice: But I can save you lots of money.

Me: Go away.

Voice: Do you not want to save lots of money?

Me: No. I love wasting money.

Voice [sounding surprised]: You like wasting money?

Me: Yes. I hate the stuff. I can’t get rid of it fast enough. It took me a long time to find the most expensive phone company and I’m not changing now.

Voice: Are you serious?

Me: Absolutely. I keep selling my things so I can burn the cash in the fire.

Voice: You…..? I mean……? And you……?

Me: Can you promise me you are more expensive than anyone else?

Voice: Thank you for taking our call.
