New Post, telemarketers part 2

Managing Real Estate Broker with Fathom Realty PB00068179

New post, What started out as anger and frustration at the telemarketers trying to scam me has turned into a fun game that I've come to look forward to...well I wouldn't go that far but I have decided to just have fun with it.

Anyone see my post yesterday where I told the Windows guy that I'd killed my wife? Well his friend Chuck called today. "Hello ,sir. This is Chuck calling you from Windows about the problem you're having with your computer." "Huh?", I say in my most droll and dumbed out voice.

He repeats his spiel and I act happy and surprised, "You're going to give me a computer?" "No", he says. "I'm going to help you with the problems you're having with your computer." I get even more excited, "You're giving me a free computer?" "No, I'm going to help you with the problem you're having." By now I'm squealing with glee, "IS IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY? " Old Chuck didn't want to help me at all. He hung up on me. Sad, I could really use a new iPad and my birthday is coming up. I'll remind him of that the next time he calls :~).  

I'm sure there will be more to follow...

Hey James Dray - I love your style!  One day I wanted to see how long I could keep them on the phone..... I told him thank God he called I was having so many problems with the computer. Everytime it was just up and running it would crash again!  (Not Really!) I would put the phone down and continue with my AR posting! ....12 minutes later he finally hung up!  It made my day.

This kind of reminds me of Abbot and Costello's routine Who's on first, what's on second, so who is ons econd, not who's on first.

Good evening James Dray ,  I love your humor and the way you turned the tables on telemarketers.

James, I do have to admit that this is funny; maybe not too kind, but humorous. What bothers me most are the silent and/or robocalls.
