Tele Me More – part 3
Written by AJ on September 8, 2008 – 12:02 pm
TiredJust in case the telemarketers weren’t bad enough, there are just general rude people out there using phones. They mumble (or yell!) ‘wrong number’ and hang up on you. Hey, I got out of my chair – I left my work – to answer your wrong number, an apology wouldn’t kill you, would it?
When I lived in Florida there were a lot of wrong numbers. It’s just facts that Florida has a lot of old people and that a lot of old people don’t see so good. So they often punch the wrong digits on the phone. This is understandable. What’s not understandable is the person on the other end calling me a name because I tell them that I’m not Love’s Buffet. I was once accused of holding out a coupon on a microwave for a different senior. I swore up and down that I wasn’t at WalMart and that he’d called a private residence, but apparently Sheila (whoever she was) had used her wiles to get her way at WalMart and I was clearly on Sheila’s side. By that point I was firmly on the side of mandatory eye exams for everyone over sixty, but nobody was listening to me. (Maybe because they couldn’t hear?)
