Missed Opportunity (again!)
Posted in Mundanity on 09/22/2005 02:03 pm by OrthoclaseWhat I should have said:
“No, Timid Todd at Midwest Financial, I don’t believe that you can offer me a loan at 1% interest. By the way, I don’t know why you are calling me, as I don’t have any money, and of course, I’m on the National Do Not Call list. I don’t think I’ve ever had any dealings with your company, and I’m sure that’s one of the rules for the NDNC list. As I’m a nice person, I won’t require you to pay me $500, but next time, I will.”
What I did say, after running up from the basement to answer the phone (when will I learn to carry the damn thing with me when I’m doing the laundry??):
“Argh! Do Not Call List!” <click>
