I had a classic trying to spell something to a bloke in a call centre, I got to the letter "s":
Me: S, for sugar.
Him: F, for fugar?
Me: No, S, S for sugar.
Him: OK, F for fugar.
Me: What?! No! What does fugar mean?
Him: I don't know.
Me: That's because it doesn't exist! SUGAR!
Him: Jugar! OK, I've got that, J.
Me: No! Not J! How can J sound like an S?
Him: You said Jugar! OK, I've got it now, F.
Me: Are you taking the p1ss?!
Him: No!
Me: It's S, S for Saturday, Sex... STUPID!
Him: Oh S!
Me: Finally! OK, next letter N for Nanny.
Him: M for Manny?
Me: Forget it, (click).
I kid you not, I wish I could have recorded it. |

There is a telemarketing counter-script www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html
They phon eyou with their crap and your object is to get a recommendation for toothpaste.
Knew a bloke that sold computers. He got a junk-call and responded with "I'm so glad you phoned... we have a special offer on blah blah blah". hehehe |

And heres a script from last night from The Bank That Claims it is Not a Trendy Wine Bar.
CC: Could I speak to Mrs Martin please?
Me:I`m afraid not as there isn`t one.
CC:Is that Mr Martin?
Me:No Im not married but you have my partners name correct. Can you speak to me about it as she is in the bath.
CC: I really need to speak to Mrs Martin.
Me: There is no Mrs Martin.
CC:Ok thank you, I will call back later(click)
I actually feel for these people that do this job, it only takes people like us lot being deliberately awkward, and it ruins the script that they have to follow on the screen in front of them.
Another musician friend of mine, lets them go through the whole sales rant, agrees to the product in principle, then announces that he is unemployed.
There is a thread on a neighbouring message board about musicians staying in touch all day on the boards, basically because there is nothing to do until the weekends, perhaps jobs in call centres is the answer.
Your Views don`t do call centres, but if it did, they`d probably be the best call centres in the world;) |

My favourite method of dealing
In my best "I'm afraid I'm going to have to fire you and escort you from the site" voice (which is pretty cold) I ask
"How did you get this number?"
Before they finish
"You shouldn't have this number"
Before they finish
"Inform your supervisor that this number needs to be removed now"
Before they finsh
"This call is recorded. We have you voice. Do not ring again"
then hang up... they're usually pretty hysterical by this stage... |
