Holy Buck, Fatman!

 Setting: The office

[phone rings]

Me: Good afternoon, Holy Fatman speaking…..

SalesDouche: Hi! I’m calling to extend services to your office! We’re a water purifying company and we offer—

Me: No thank you, we have water service and we’re happy.

SalesDouche: But it’s NOT like ours! Ours is Patented and special. We will decrease your water costs by using our purifying techniques!

me: Uhm…Okay. Well, I’ll take a look at the costs, run an analysis and see if we could benefit. Please send me an e mail with your price list included.

SalesDouche: Oh Great! How many people do you have in your office? I’m sure it will save you hundreds!

Me: We only have 8 people in our office, and some of them are usually not hear all the time.

SalesDouche: Oh…only 8? well… Hmmm…This might not be right for you then.

Me: I thought not. Anyway, have a good day.

[hangs up]

NEXT DAY 

[phone rings]

Me: Good Morning, Holy Fatman speaking

SalesDouche: Hi! It’s me again. Did you get the e mail?

Me: I thought that you determined that it wouldn’t be cost effective to sell to us. Aren’t we finished? I’m not having you or your sales people waste your time.

SalesDouche: Oh, But if we could have a few moments of your time. Did you get the E mail that we sent? we’re just following up on that!

Me: No, actually, I didn’t. Come to think of it, I’m really not interested.

Thus ended the conversation with the SalesDouche. Except SalesDouche didn’t quite see it that way. SalesDouche has proceeded to call me SEVEN TIMES EVERYDAY SINCE LAST FRIDAY.

That would be one week. I simply stopped answering the phone since I have a great thing called “Caller ID”
