random ramblings of a crazed nerd

I am a bad person….

While I know some people do telemarketing to make a living, at the same time I just love messing with em, sure sure, they are just doing their job - but for one I don’t need a home mortage! I don’t have my own home, but tonight’s was a real winner!

The call was about satellite tv - of which I don’t have, nor need - cable TV is more than I really need, but it includes SciFi, and TBS, so I can’t complain But this guy was set on getting me to buy one, so it went a little something like this:

Him: Sir you have cable yes?
Me: Yes.
Him: Sir you are in luck, I can offer you satellite tv at a great low rate.
Me: I actually have satellite too, so no thanks.
Him: Who do you have DirecTV or DishNetwork?
Me: Both.
Him: No Sir, which do you have?
Me: Both, I have DirecTV and DishNetwork.
Him: Why???
Me: I REALLY like TV.
Him: How much are you paying?
Me: Nothing, 100% free.
Him: That is no possible sir! I can give you a great low rate with lots of channels!
Me: I am part of a test group for both services so I have both and 3 DVR’s so I can record a lot of TV.
Him: Oh, well that is…. Well I am sorry to of bothered you sir, but is there anyone you can refer me to who might want satellite?
Me: Not really, everyone just comes over and bums TV time here since I have 3 DVR’s we can watch what we want whenever.
Him: Oh, again sorry to bother you, have a good night.
Me: You too.
