Funny stuff... I started off by telling him im against emissions so I wont be needing the gas card, he could keep it..

he suggested i give the card to a family member or friend. So i reiterated to him how much im AGAINST emissions... not that i dont drive, that Im against emissions. ( i drive a v8 )

I then keep making him think i want those grocery coupons, but he has to sell me on them...

through out the whole conversation I got him to admit he trys so hard because he gets commission plus pay. at one point i said..

"Wich is it, hourly pay or commission too? ... If its hourly ill keep you on the phone for awhile, if its commission, then we need to cut this short dont we?"

he beat around the bush so much saying things like

"no one works for free"

i got him finally admit his wages and commissions...

then he starte drecording me after i asked what company he works for...

I ended up hanging up on him twice because i just ran out of on the spot things to say ... I hadnt planned this call at all, it just spawned after months of these calls...

he called back both times i hung up..

I blamed the disconnection on my poodle running across my pay telephone ?!?!? (Thanks lance krall)

So after a bunch of bullshit and tom foolery, 30 minutes on the phone. and me raging against emissions. (I even at one point told him to shove the evil doing gas card up his ass) he finally wanted to move on

I blurted out, that all i want is to be taken off your call list, Ive askled for months.

he then tells me i have to tell them 7 times... So i said it 7 fuckin times... with a deeper explanation as to why i would like to be taken off... though i only said it 6 times, because i insisted on him counting one of the times i made the request some months prior.

when all was said and done...

he tells me...

"next time, dont waste so much of our time, have a nice day"

oh the irony...




this was all on speaker phone in front of the girlfriend and a buddy...

was great for a laugh..

Now i only get mortgage telemarketers ...
