wow. crazy day and it's only 3:35.
in the middle of my craziness, some poor guy calls me to ask me about some warranty coverage on my new phone purchase. i know that a lot of people can get really angry with these folks, so i try to treat them as nice as possible.
this guy seemed unable to catch the hint that i had neither time nor interest in what he was selling. he wasn't overtly rude, but it was (past the) time for the call to end.
so i took the conversation in a new direction.
me: uh, no thanks.
him: well, here's why you want it...
me: well, ok, let's do this: give me your home number and i'll call you later tonight when i have the time to think about it.
him: oh, i can't give out my home number.
me: oh, because you probably don't want people calling you at home, bugging you, right? especially when you're trying to do things that are important to you.
him: exactly!
me: well, neither do i. but thanks for calling, and have a nice day!
i was pretty surprised how easily he walked into that one. : )
hope you guys are having a great monday.
