Telemarketers: not my favourite people!



I'm done with them. When I answer my phone, you'd better be there, if not... when you are finally there, after me saying "hello, hello" 17 times, you are in for a very unpleasant surprise. I am NOT nice, I am NOT polite, I am, however, grammatical, non-profane and well spoken. I can call you an ass 7 ways from Sunday without swearing!

The one plaguing us today is this number. 000-000-000! Twice since I've been home and Michie says about 4 times earlier today, interrupting her studying for tomorrow's final exam!

I'm not answering next time. I think it's an Internet call, not sure though. I'll see if they leave an "please stay on the line, this is an urgent message from ___________'s office." Then I'll call ______________ 789 times, google and get ____________'s email and spam the hell out of him and then just for fun... post it here where you can all spam him too!

Now this did give Michie a big laugh today, on a day where she does not see much about which to laugh. Studying every minute of every day is NOT her idea of fun. So... after two of these calls, I'm standing in the living room talking to her, when I hear the phone ring. I raise my right index finger, indicating "hold on, I'll be right back" and walk into the front hall to answer the phone. It is NOT ringing. Michie is laughing uproariously and I am confused. Apparently it was an ad for Rogers phone on tv and well... it sounded just like ours and well... fooled me. Now I have yet another reason to destroy this telemarketer! ha... make me look silly eh?
This is war!

Bring it on 000-000-0000, I'm ready!

**EDIT** I've edited and way, way toned down, my title; it was unnecessarily mean and may, just MAY mind you, have been a tad over the top! (How unlike me eh?)
