You’ve come a Long Way Baby



Lately I have tried to be nicer to telemarketers that annoy the crap out of me at work because, let’s face it. Today’s telemarketer was probably yesterday’s Mortgage Broker, and frankly, I don’t feel like tempting the gods.

I try. I swear. I try.

(Insert ringing phone).

T (Thinks): SHIT! Is someone going to answer that, because my fingernails are wet and it would be inconvenient to pick up the phone. (Have I mentioned that the mortgage biz is a little slow right now? I thought so. PS. - Fuck you Shaun Donovan).

T Says: “Thank you for calling Fussy & Bitchy Inc. How may I help you?”

Annoying Telemarketer: “Is Mr. Fancy Pants in?”

T (Thinks): God grant me the serenity
T Says: "I’m sorry Ma’am there is no one here by that name. How may I help you?" (See? Trying).

Annoying Telemarketer: "Is this Fussy & Bitchy Inc.? I need to speak with Mr. Pants, or the owner, or the manager, or the person (with a penis) that makes decisions, or anyone except you. Connect me NOW! Please!"

T (Thinks): Oh. No. She. Di’int! (I’m hip that way).
T Says: “No.”

Annoying Telemarketer: “No? Did you say no? Either connect me now, or I will call back and tell Mr. Pants that his Secretary is rude and refuses to…”

T (Thinks): Forgive me Jesus.
T Says: “Hold it right there Nineteen Seventy Two! First, he doesn’t have a Secretary; he has an Assistant, and please do me a favor, tell him that she is a bitch. Because she is, and he doesn’t listen when I tell him, because I hate everyone. While you are at it, tell him that his “Secretary” called you an assbag before she hung up on you.”

T (Thinks): Hey, I’m getting pretty good at this nice thing.
