"He went mad so we shot him..."

[slofox]

Just had a telemarketer of some sort ring me here at the store. Lady with an accent, possibly Indian (surprise surprise!).

She asked to speak to my predecessor here. Conversation went something like this...

She: "May I speak to RB please?"
Me: "Sorry luv, you're four years too late!"
She: (after a wee pause) "Oh...what happened to him then?"
Me: "Oh...he went mad so we shot him!!"
She: (stunned silence this time) "My God! That's TERRIBLE!!"
Me: (milking the moment) "Yeah - it was terrible - he was dangerous - we just had to shoot him."
She: "............" (she was silent)...at which point I started to snigger just a bit...
Me: "Nah it's OK luv, he just sold the place to me..."
She: (somewhat irate I think) "I was just about to call the police and send them to that place!!!!!"
Me: "Don't bother, we got rid of the evidence at the time..."
She: (obviously totally confused now) "Did you shoot him or NOT???"
Me: "Nah luv, it's just a saying we have here when people ask for someone who isn't here..."
She: (doubtfully) "I was thinking you had really shot him!"
Me: (brightly) "Hell no - we wouldn't waste a bullet like that! Anyway, can I help you at all?"
She: (doubtfully) "Errrmmm...no, I don't think so - I had to talk to RB"
Me: "OK then, have a nice day...:sunny:"
She: (kinda quietly now) "...bye..."


Hehehe. Telemarketers are the most fun! :devil2: Bet she doesn't call back...Hmmm - is that police car stopping here?

Some people have no sense of the ridiculous.
Or what is reality.
Or something or not or whatever.

[hospitalfood]

i like to ask what they are wearing

[AllanB]

So - did you shoot him?

Maybe you did and you're in denial?

Need a hug?

[vifferman]

i like to ask what they are wearing
I like to watch.

You should have kept the 'prank' going for as long as possible, see if the fuzz show up.

Nah, I left the gun at home that day - all good thanks.

It was tempting...:devil2:

[ynot slow]

Imagine if she asked "What are you having for tea?"and your reply "pigs tits and custard".

[ManDownUnder]

Yeah, but what country would she ring the Police in? The Police are probably busy beating the crap out of some person in Bangalore.

[ready4whatever]

haha good one. when they ask something like "would you like to buy insurance off us" i ask "nah, do you want to?" . or when clearly its a hoax like "you have won a holiday overseas" etc (dodgy sounding asian) i say "nah, you have mate, give me your credit card number"

Someone needs to check under your floorboards just in case

[Gixxer peter]

[Insanity_rules]

Telemarketers deserve to be fucked with. Good job. I had a great time with a bailiff once, kinda went like this..........

Bailiff: Are you (Insert name here)?

Me: who wants to know?

This little discourse went like this about 6 times. It was great. Was going for 7 but the bailiff looked like steam was about to come out of his ears.
