If you call me

Oh, and I once was solicited to buy lightbulbs. I lied that I was going into the service the very next day. The sales person recommended that I buy some for my parents. I lied, telling her that I was going into the military because my parents died in a tragic car accident. Her response was "oh....goodbye"

That's like the reaction from Jehovah's Witnesses: just tell them you're catholic, true or not. They leave skid marks trying to get off your porch. :p

Not to her. Which equals mean. If you're gonna preach, at least practice it.

Okay - you got me. Once, in 1983, I was mean to a telemarketer. I thought I was having some fun at an annoying telemarketer's expense, and everybody I've ever shared that story with has laughed. Alas, I find that I've been mean. Please forgive me. I've changed - I swear it!

ok

I used to hang up on market researchers before I was one -I thought they were just lying telemarketers. But it was the MR gig that taught me to hang up on telemarketers without feeling bad -you called them, you don't know them, they don't want to know you -let's move on to something that might be more profitable, save everybody's time.
