An odd phone call

[Ifreann]

You should have put the snake on.

Yeah, everyone knows that tarantulas hate cold callers.

[Risottia]

What would the purpose of a call like this be?

It's a gang of perspective gay rapists looking for potential victims.

I received a call claiming Hillary Clinton was making a 2012 bid for president. Said that if she had won the primary in 2008 we would've been better off. Apparently someone didn't tell them she's not running. Must have been some kind of misinformation campaign trying to discourage moderate ex-Hillary supporters from voting for Obama this year.

I only get calls from bill collectors with the wrong number...

Impossible. To suggest the Republican Party would run a misinformation campaign.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Odd they'd be running such a blatantly stupid one. I mean it'd take about 1/4 of a second to fact check. Google makes it harder to lie.

My dad is a beast at getting rid of those. Someone called him on the phone once and asked if he had arthritis, to which he replied, "Yes, I have arthritis, leukemia, and cancer. I'm going to die tomorrow. Don't call again."

You disgust me. Can't snakes and tarantulas hide in shells of modesty without people like you staring at them all the time?

Pollsters always want to speak to males, if they can. The sample will not be representative of the population unless it is half male half female. Unfortunately, males are much less likely to answer the phone, and the males they do get are less likely to talk to the pollster, so they always have a shortage of males in the sample. Gals, nobody wants your opinion because you are too easy, you just give it away!

is it bad that if a i get a telemarketer call, i pretend that they just called a crime scene?

>implying that democrats dont also do that
>implying that anyone is innocent of that
>implying anything else is expected

[Northwest Slobovia]

Probably just trying to poll and wanted a certain demographic.

Yup. We get those all the time; probably we're the last people with a land line in the census tract or something. We're often entertained by the really specific ones, like pollsters wanting to talk to women 25-30 registered as Democrats. ("Love, do you want to be 25 for the nice man on the phone?" "Oh, sure. Am I an eco-weenie today, too?")

So your the person I have dumped all my student loans on, congratulations.

I used to work sales for Dish Network. Horrible business, btw, I was actually fired for not breaking federal law. They supposedly cleaned up their act since then but I don't buy it...

Anyway, usually my calls would be outgoing (and completely random), though some people would call me to decide to subscribe. There were also people who were calling for customer service.

One of the ingoing calls was a follow-up sales call, but he wanted to talk to someone else. I had to spend 40 minutes to convince him that I couldn't transfer him because I didn't know who he wanted (he only gave me a first name), or where this salesman's office was located, or even if he was still working for Dish. Which then turned into a 20 minute conversation about Florida (where I live) and the Miami Dolphins.

Made the sale though.

Hey I live in Florida!

Palm Beach Baby!
