Another telemarketer story
So, another telemarketer called me on my cellphone today while I was really bored. So I thought I'd fuck with him for a few minutes. It was short. It only lasted 5 minutes, but I thought it was kinda funny so I'm typing up to the best of what I can remember, how the conversation went. The telemarketer had a stupid southern accent and was selling a credit card or something...
Telemarketer: Blah blah blah, You can take advantage of this offer right now by-
Me [interrupting and imitating his southern accent very loudly]: Oh, right naw?? I can get it right naw? RIGHT NAW? REALLY RIGHT NAW?
T: Yes sir. It's available for you-
M [surprised he still wants to talk to me]: I can get it right now? Well what about later on? Can I get it later?
T: Sure, you-
M: Well how bout before? Can I get it in the past?
T: Uhh... No, you can't get it in the past
M: Why not?
T: Because you can't get it in the past.
M: Well why not? You didn't just start offering this right NOW, right? So when did you start offering this?
T: Um, I'm not sure but I could find out for-
M: Well if you were offering this before, then I could get it in the past! So when did you start offering it?
T: Um, hold on one minute, I'll find that out for you.
[a minute later]
T: We started offering it January 2007
M: Okay! So I COULD'VE got it in the past!
T: Yes sir
M: Okay then, well I'd like to get it in the past. Do you have a time machine I could borrow?
T: Uh, No, I'm sorry sir, I don't.
M: Well why not! I wanted to get it back in March! Why didn't you call me then!
T: Well, we did send out something in the mail earlier. You should've received something in the mail back then.
M: Really? Well if you already mailed me something about this, and I ignored it the first time, why are you calling me again about it??
T: Well, I have no control over-
M: That's annoying!!
T: I'm sorry sir. I can't help who I'm supposed to call
M: Why not! Have some control over what you're doing!
T: I'm just doing my job-
M: Take charge! Tell your boss you're not gonna take any more of this shit!
T: Okay I will sir. Bye
