Star jumps will save the world
31 August 2009
On Friday afternoon, I received an, er, interesting phone call.
Blatantly A Salesman: Hello, this is Everest*. We’re going to see some of your neighbours… [sales patter about double glazing]
Me: All our windows are double-glazed and they’re pretty new, thanks.
BAT: How about doors? We can drop by and show you our brochure. Can we come by for a chat tomorrow?
Me: No. We’re busy.
BAT: How about Sunday?
Me: No, we’re busy.
BAT: Well, we’ll just drop a brochure off on Monday afternoon, then. Can I take your name?
Me: Why?
BAT: It just says ‘The Householder’ here.
Me: I’d prefer not to give you my name.
BAT: We’ll end it here, then. *click*
I guess their windows are selling so well that they’ve taken to trying to sell mailing lists.
* Unless it’s someone trying to sully Everest’s name…?
