Excuse me?

I sold newspapers over the phone. I have solicited donations for many organizations over the phone. I get that people are just doing their job...



So the phone rings..."this is a call about your current credit account, there is no problem with your current account. We are calling to lower your interest rate."
Fine I'll play along. "push 1 to speak to a representative"



Young guy says, "are you calling about lowering your interest rate."



I say "yes"



He says, "do you have at least 3,000 in debt"



I say, kindly, and with a smile: "I need to be taken off your list. I am getting a few of these calls a day."



He says, "Why did you lie?"



EXCUSE ME!!!



you said you called about lowering your interest rate



I AM responding to the call about lowering your interest rate. I need to be taken off your list.



But you said...



NO,
I don't answer to you and I need to be taken off the list immediately. (I hung up)

AARGH!!!!!!! I want to be nice. Why can't people respect that! I'm glad that I bit my tongue and wasn't more direct and didn't engage him longer.
There's a glitch in my patience for today. Accusing me of lying? Like I was wasting his time. Them are fighting words

and the hat goes tooo..................
