Hello - Do you want a loan?
Aah yes, all of us do go through the marketing calls that we get routinely from the banks, clubs, phone services and so on. I have heard my colleagues and friends yell at them. I try to be calm and let the poor guys do their job, disconnecting their calls with a polite thank you. Though I have had my moments and while some leave me fuming, some just crack me up.
1. Me: Hello
Q: Am I speaking to Mr. Poornima
Me: Ahem, do I sound like 'Mr' Poornima
Q: Oh, sorry Ms. Poornima,
... long conversation regarding my request for bank statements..., put on hold for 5 minutes.
Q: Thank you for being on hold Mr. Poornima
Me: Arghhhhh
2. Me : Hello
Q: We offer you pre-appoved personal loan. Are you intersted?
Me: I am not interested.
Q: Why are you not interested madam?
Me (with lot of self-control) - I don't want any money now.
Q: Money will come useful madam.
Me: Stumped. Disconnected.
3. Me: Hello
