"RoseGarden" - - - - - - - from - nscave

It was telemarketer day again today. My call display says "Long Distance", nothing more. I haven't answered one of these in ages so I guess it is time. The dude asks if it is me by full name and tells me about the fantastic research he is doing on vacation travel.

He has five yes or no questions. Questions that ask if I took a vacation, how much I spent on my vacation and where I went. Yes or no questions? No offense to anyone, but this person has an accent and I can hardly understand half what he is saying.

The seventh question asks what my annual income is. I tell him I do not answer any questions regarding anything about income. He says he has to know in order to mark what category I fall into. I again say I do not answer questions about income. He asks do I make over forty thousand? I tell him he can mark down anything he pleases but I am not answering income questions.

Now he begins to get a little upset, still wanting an answer to the income category. I tell him this conversation has ended, "Goodbye!" and I hang up.

So once again if you are a telemarketer I have some advice for you:

* I have lots of time now days, so I am playing games with you.

* If your name and number do not show on my call display, all my answers are false.

* If your name and number do not show on my call display, I do not believe one word you say.

* You say you hide your number because people would call you back. I can't call you back, so I will get you while I can, that's why my answers are false.

* If you call me be prepared to talk in understandable English. Otherwise 'what' will dominate until I get tired.

* Don't be offended if I put you on hold for a day - I'm just tired of the accent.

Remember it is my phone, and I can make my answers accurate to within plus or minus 0% if I want to.
