I was brushing my teeth yesterday when the phone rang. The caller ID read: “MAXIMUM SECURITY” so I picked up the call quite cautiously.
“Hello?” I asked.
“The reason I’m making this call today is to let you know the importance of protecting your…”the man began, and I interrupted.
“Just so you know where I’m coming from right now, I don’t have any locks on this house.”
A slight pause, and the reply, “Well, don’t you want to insure that you and your loved ones are protected from…” he kept saying something, but again, a rude interruption.
“Not at all. I wish someone would come in here and haul away every single thing I’ve got.”
“Oh, my goodness!” The man was genuinely disgusted and shaken up. I didn’t anticipate this. “Well, good luck,” he told me. I hung up. I continued brushing my teeth.
Goddamn it, you probably didn't video tape this did you?! Please do next time, as this could be the start of a new show concept. Instead of Crank Yankers, it would be Yank the Crankers, or something. I love the concept of jacking with telemarketers. Who wouldn't?? Very funny stuff man.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't videotape anything...I think my camera might capture video on some level, but I haven't fooled with it quite yet. I'll check and see. Unless the caller is identified, I typically just knock the phone off the charger and replace it when the call is dead. Keep in mind I had a mouthful of toothpaste during this event. There wasn't much planning going on...
