good post all in all quite humorous.
I screw with people trying to sell me things all the time. has anyone ever seen the movie "boiler room"? well there is a part in it where they try to sell the stock broker guy a newspaper subscription. he's like "im not interested and then they respond "ohh ok " so he goes you call that a slaes pitch if you have something to sell me, sell me dont just hang up at the first sign of resistance". so they start again and he gets all the information on the product from the telemarketer, who incidentally makes a pretty good sales pitch, and at the end of the call the telemarketer is like "ok so i should sign you up, he cooly replies "no i already get te times." and hangs up. funny as hell that scene I mess with the people trying to sell me the paper all the time. i keep asking them questions about the product until they cant give me an answer to something i ask, or they say something that could make somone not want the product. for instance they told me the paper was good because it was a morning paper and the other local paper was an evening paper. I told them i never wake up before noon and that i would be pissed if i got the paper in the morning and i missed some news because it was printed early. they responded that if it was anything important ide see it on tv. then i told them i dont watch tv and the paper is my only source of outside news. they wre quiet for a moment and then were like well do you want it or not. i told 'em i dont read the paper and hung up. the point to all this rambling is really just [img]graemlins/spam2.gif[/img]
