OMG! I won a free cruise
 
Who the fuck is dumb enough to believe the robot man when he calls their house trying to scam them? I just had the funniest one call my house hahaha. There was the sound of a fog horn then the robot man said, "Hello, this is your captain speaking. You've won a free cruise!"
Well, I thought it was funny.
Do these people call your house often? They call here all the damn time.

Trasher02 02.01.2007 02:45 PM

WOOOW I wanna have a free cruise!
Oh wait, nevermind.

hahahha, I love those! I get them all the time.

One time my stepdad got a call from a guy that wanted him to sign up to dance lessons, and so my stepdad said he got his legs severed by a chainsaw years ago, and the guy felt REALLY bad.

My brother used to work as a telemarketer selling meat, and he called a farm specializing in beef, and the farmer started asking for the percentage of fatty acids and lipids (or something along those lines) in the meat, and my brother couldn't answer. He quit the job and became vegan.

One time a telemarketer called me, so I just kept asking how he was doing and asking about how his day was and disregarded the fact that he was trying to tell me something. Next time I will most certainly ask them for a date, especially if it's a guy. I know it's just their job and they're not out to get you, but if you're nice about it it can brighten their day.

I never really make up stuff when they call, maybe I should next time.

I just got an email offering me gold at 12K a kilogram. all I have to do is go to Ghana. I am like so there.

One day, I will take two years off work to go on all of the 'free' holidays I've been awarded.

Then, when I return from the holiday, I'll open a shop to sell all the laptops I keep winning online. What are the odds that little old me would bw the millionth visitor to so many different websites? Sometimes I'm the millionth visitor to the same site repeatedly, which must constitute some kind of space-time paradox.

worst. advertising. ever.
It's what we're told not to do in my program. I hate the advertising aspect of my program. You're just shoving information into people's faces unwillingly to promote materialism.

My friend's a survey dude at "the strategic council" next to rideau, and he has to work until 11:00 at night and he wakes people up and just gets yelled at, and gets people making shit up at that time, but he finds it hilarious

I remember I got a call once from a Floridian robot. I picked up the phone and heard;

"Congratulations, sir or madam! You have one a 2-week vacation at Disneyworld in Florida! Stay on the line to-"

I hung up.

Hip Priest 02.01.2007 03:41 PM

^ Those American robot voices are a weird experience.

EMMAh 02.01.2007 03:49 PM

Do you guys not have the robot voices?

Trasher02 02.01.2007 03:53 PM

I had that once. I just turned it off immediately. Those calls are very rare though.

ploesj 02.01.2007 04:10 PM

i often get calls trying to sell me towels. i have enough of them thanks!

also people calling for my mother think i'm a young child, when i answer the phone they always go: 'um yeah could you pass me your mommy little girl?'

i think it's my way of talking, without much volume in it.

Trasher02 02.01.2007 04:12 PM

Some guy thought I was a girl when I took up the phone once.
Boy talk about embarrassing.
(I was 7 years old and I still had the high voice thingy going on)
