A telemarketer prank. I got this from a note my friend wrote on Facebook, I don't think she was the one who did it though. I think she probably got it in an email or something. Poor telemarketers...this is kinda mean, but funny. I kinda want to be a telemarketer to hear the jokes and pranks.
Guys, read this and laugh, but be kind to your telemarketers. Their days of work probably seem long every day. :]
Love Those Telemarketers!
I was at home the other night in the middle of my dinner when the phone
rang.
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 hang up the phone. I ate my
salad. 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: This is AT&T?
AT&T: Yes, this is AT&T .
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. We would like to offer
you 10 cents a minute, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
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! Twenty-four 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, 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.
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: I insist on speaking to a supervisor!
AT&T: Yes, Mr. Byron. Please hold. (At this point, I begin trying to
finish my dinner.)
SUPERVISOR: Mr. Byron?
ME: Yeth?
SUPERVISOR: I understand you are not quite understanding our 10 cents a
minute program.
ME: Is This A T &T?
SUPERVISOR: Yes, sir, it sure is.
ME: (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.) 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 managed a few more mouthfuls-----
I really need 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: No, but I was wondering ----do you have that "Friends and Family" thing?
Because I'm an only child and I'd really like to have a little brother...
AT &T: click...
birthdayyyy
Spidey Sense
I pretty much dyed it 'cause I had highlights that were growing out and I didn't want to redo them.
I've been in a couple of more musicals during the winter and spring: Beauty and the Beast, I don't know if I told you all I was in that one, and one called Honk!, Jr. I got my first named part in that show (my first one with that group, anyway) and had so much fun. (I only had like 4 lines, but it was fun to have a named character and lines and a mic and stuff, and it was a great chorus show. It was a really fun show anyway.) I got closer to friends and stuff over these two shows, also.
Their names are Sydney and Callie..
