Ring, Ring,(me) Hello.
(caller) Hello I am from the XYZ insurance, would you like to purchase an extended warranty on your car.
(me) I am glad you called, normally I would like to purchase the extended warranty but after yesterday when 0bama was re-elected I am cutting out all extra spending and saving it for harder times ahead, but thanks for calling. .....click.
You would not believe how good it felt to vent just a little. I mention this because if we all did this it would be a way to get many to realize that elections have consequences. Some employers are laying off employees to save money and this is my way to get word out to the dumb masses that their lives just got harder.
I think it is a perfect way to get rid of junk calls, especially people looking for a donation, just explain in your own words that 0bama wants to supply the "womb to the tomb" care for everybody and there is no need for you to donate anymore, then hang up before they have a chance to come back with a response.
I am sure you can come up with other clever responses.
This post almost makes me wish we still had a landline, just so I could use such a response.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Rev Paul, I'm sure you could use it for anyone asking for a handout. Thanks.
DeleteMost excellent post!
ReplyDeleteI *WILL* use that the next time, and every time, I get a telemarketer call.
Good deal my friend. Thanks.
DeleteBoeing just announced some layoffs, some of which will probably be union jobs. What goes around comes back around. They pitched a fit when Boeing tried to open a plant in non-union South Carolina. Payback is tough....
ReplyDeleteI used to work for Boeing, and still work with a bunch of Boeing guys.
ReplyDeleteThe layoffs are supposed to be only middle managers. Boeing is extremely top-heavy, with some managers only having 4 or 5 people under them. This is the type of management position that will be eliminated. The hourly people people, who actually build the product, are not going to be touched.
And they're also going to be closing out most of their operations out here in the People's Republik of Kaliforniastan.
Can't say as I blame them. Kaliforniastan has made a 180* flip in the way they treat business since I moved out here in 1980.
If they are non-union positions, that's sad then. Kalifornia has it coming, though.
DeleteMatt, times are tough and I believe now the bottom is a lot further down thanks to the moocher class.
Deleteand I though using an air horn into the phone was fun, this is better, I will have to use that from now on.
ReplyDeleteSenior, it is a good line in fact I used it again just this afternoon on a call.
DeleteI told Senior that when I see our neighbors that voted for BO out in the yard..I wanted to stop and thank them for voting for the ticket. And tell them how I appreciated it because I was just laid off.. I swear I want to do it!.
ReplyDeleteJUGM, His pain will be felt soon enough I am sure.
DeleteJacked Up Glock Mom,
DeleteSend your neighbor a bill every month for the increase of your medical insurance. If they ask what is this, say it's our way of thanking you for voting for Obama. Expect a bill every month.
I'll use it here on out here at the shop. Great idea, Bubba. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteStephen, yea you have a good place to use it when someone is trying to sell you and unwanted service. Thanks.
DeleteI am like the Rev...I wish I had a land line so I could use this!
ReplyDeleteMamma Bear, it could also be used on door to door salesman and even in high pressure department stores or people asking for money on the street.
DeleteWait...what did the caller say?
ReplyDeletenever mind, I saw that you hung up...that is priceless never the less.
ReplyDeleteJMD, I just hang up before they answer back.
DeleteDuke,
ReplyDeleteI like it! This will be used on the very next solicitation call. Thank you :-)
Thanks Sandy. Maybe we can do some good with things like this.
DeleteGreat idea, thanks!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOld NFO, glad to help my friend.
DeleteI was reading my Bible when the phone rang. It was a telemarketer. He said, "I just what to know what is on your mind."
ReplyDeleteI told him, "Jesus". Then I started telling him about the mark of the beast, and what is in the Book of Rev. He said, "I don't want to hear all that stuff, I just want to know what you are thinking about" I said, "I just told you". He groaned and hung up. That was 4 years ago, and I guess my number was taken off of their list, as I haven't received a call since. And I was being truthful.
That is classic my friend. Thanks.
