Telemarketers....GGGRRRR!

The phone rings.
I try to quickly get out of my new reclining couch (a comical sight even when I'm not in a hurry):)
I hit my knee on the door facing as I try to get there before they hang up.
"Hello" puff puff #%@#%@*(a few choice words)

"Mr. N. N?"

"He's not here" as my knee throbs, my temper is rising.

"When will he be reachable?"

"What is this pertaining to?"

"Ma'am?"

"WHY DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO MR. N.N."

"Are you Mrs. N.N.?"

"LISTEN, YOU DIALED MY NUMBER, I ASKED YOU WHAT THIS IS PERTAINING TO, YOU CALL MY HOUSE EVERY NIGHT WITH THIS NUMBER SHOWING UP ON MY CALLER ID; WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH MY HUSBAND THAT YOU CAN NOT DISCUSS WITH ME????

"It's about renewing his Redbook magazine subscription, he's on his final month,should he want to renew it"

"He doesn't even know that magazine comes to the house,I'm the one that reads it, but you have just LOST my subscription for now and in the future"

"So are you Mr. N.N.?"

"WHAT????? TAKE ME OFF OFF OFF YOUR CALLING LIST! THAT MEANS DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER EVER AGAIN!
I hang up, wondering for the hundredth time why I didn't just hang up to start with...

  1. Tell me....they call my poor 60 year old Daddy about all sorts of JUNK, he can't hear and they won't let him sleep. The other day a credit card co. called me saying "last chance for a lower interest"...press 1. So, I did and this guys says "Where might I direct this call?" I said "I don't know you called me" and before I could say that of course I would like a lower interest rate, he hung up...ON ME!
