OT funny

[Guest guest]

That is PERFECT!!! I have done something similar in the past. These people

usually ask how you are doing, and I proceed to give them my entire medical

history, usually by the time I get to the hemorrhoids I had while pregnant,

they give up!

OT funny

" One thing that has always bugged me, and I'm sure it does

most of you, is to sit down at the

dinner table only to be interrupted by a phone call from a

telemarketer. I decided, on one such

occasion, to try to be as irritating as they were to me.

The call was from AT & T and it went

something like this:

Me: Hello.

AT & T: Hello, this is AT & T...

Me: Is this AT & T?

AT & T: Yes, this is AT & T...

Me: This is AT & T?

AT & T: Yes. This is AT & T...

Me: Is this AT & T?

AT & T: YES! This is AT & T, may I speak to Mr. Byron please?

Me: May I ask who is calling?

AT & T: This is AT & T.

Me: OK, hold on.

At this point I put the phone down for a solid 5 minutes

thinking that, surely, this person would

have hung up the phone. Much to my surprise, when I picked

up the receiver, they were still

waiting.

Me: Hello?

AT & T: Is this Mr. Byron?

Me: May I ask who is calling please?

AT & T: Yes, this is AT & T...

Me: Is this AT & T?

AT & T: Yes, this is AT & T...

Me: This is AT & T?

AT & T: Yes, is this Mr. Byron?

Me: Yes, is this AT & T?

AT & T: Yes, sir.

Me: The phone company?

AT & T: Yes, sir.

Me: I thought you said this was AT & T.

AT & T: Yes sir, we are a phone company.

Me: I already have a phone.

AT & T: We aren't selling phones today, Mr. Byron.

Me: Well, whatever it is, I'm really not interested but

thanks for calling.

When you are not interested in something, I don't think you

can express yourself any plainer than

by saying, " I'm really not interested " , but this lady was

persistent.

AT & T: Mr. Byron, we would like to offer you 10 cents a

minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a

week, 365 days a year.

Now, I am sure she meant she was offering a " rate " of 10

cents a minute but she at no time used

the word rate. I could clearly see that it was time to whip

out the trusty old calculator and do a

little ciphering.

Me: Now, that's 10 cents a minute 24 hours a day?

AT & T: (getting a little excited at this point by my

interest) Yes, sir, that's right! 24 hours a

day!

Me: 7 days a week?

AT & T: That's right.

Me: 365 days a year?

AT & T: Yes, sir.

Me: I am definitely interested in that! Wow!!! That's

amazing!

AT & T: We think so!

Me: That's quite a sum of money!

AT & T: Yes, sir, it's amazing how it adds up.

Me: OK, so will you send me checks weekly, monthly or just

one big one at the end of the year

for the full $52,560, and if you send an annual check, can

I get a cash advance?

AT & T: Excuse me?

Me: You know, the 10 cents a minute.

AT & T: What are you talking about?

Me: You said you'd give me 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a

day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

That comes to $144 per day, $1008 per week and $52,560 per

year. I'm just interested in

knowing how you will be making payment.

AT & T: Oh, no, sir. I didn't mean we'd be paying you. You

pay us 10 cents a minute.

Me: Wait a minute here!!! Didn't you say you'd give me 10

cents a minute. Are you sure this is

AT & T?

AT & T: Well, yes, this is AT & T, sir, but......

Me: But nothing. How do you figure that by saying that

you'll give me 10 cents a minute that I'll

give you 10 cents a minute? Is this some kind of subliminal

telemarketing scheme? I've read

about things like this in the Enquirer, you know. Don't use

your alien brainwashing techniques on

me.

AT & T: No, sir, we are offering 10 cents a minute for.....

Me: THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Can I speak to a supervisor please!

AT & T: Sir, I don't think that is necessary.

Me: Sure! You say that now! What happens later?

AT & T: What?

Me: I insist on speaking to a supervisor!

AT & T: Yes, Mr. Byron. Please hold.

So now AT & T has me on hold and my supper is getting cold. I

begin to eat while I'm waiting

for a supervisor. After a wait of a few minutes and while I

have a mouth full of food:

Supervisor: Mr. Byron?

Me: Yeth?

Supervisor: I understand you are not quite understanding

our 10 cents a minute program.

Me: Id thish Ath Teeth & Teeth?

Supervisor: Yes, sir, it sure is.

I had to swallow before I choked on my food. It was all I

could do to suppress my laughter and

I had to be careful not to produce a snort.

Me: No, actually, I was just waiting for someone to get

back to me so that I could sign up for

the plan.

Supervisor: OK, no problem, I'll transfer you back to the

person who was helping you.

Me: Thank you.

I was on hold once again and was getting really hungry. I

needed to end this conversation.

Suddenly, there was an aggravated but polite voice at the

other end of the phone.

AT & T: Hello, Mr. Byron, I understand that you are

interested in signing up for our plan?

Me: Do you have that friends and family thing because you

can never have enough friends and

I'm an only child and I'd really like to have a little

brother...

OMG Kandy,

That was one of the funniest things I have read in a LONG time!!! I have

tears in my eyes from laughing. My 3 year old is still looking at me funny

trying to figure out what the computer did to make me laugh so hard!!!

Thanks so much for sharing that! I think I will have to try that out

sometime. Have a GREAT DAY!

I LOVE it!!!! I've done similar as well.... playing that the line is

bad and INSISTING it has got to be on their end, and if they can't call

me and talk to me on a clear line then why would I want to change my

service? Do the whole bad connection thing again and then hang up... :-D

Welcome to the dweeb club - I've done this more than once and feel dweebish every time! The funny thing is, nobody ever says, "Why do you have your sunglasses on in the house?" haha Peggy
