Phone Etiquette

Katya: wow if you are calling as a telemarketer or something
Katya: don't start with "is there?"
itchy: Hi, may I please speak with Real Faux?
Faux Real: whats up?
Faux Real: they asked if grrrl was there?
itchy: i would like to offer you 12 issues of Jugs for the introductory price of $11,99
Faux Real: the comma makes me say no
Katya: they just siad
Katya: "is dawson there?"
itchy: picky
itchy: that's the way we do it here
Katya: the reason for call
Katya: seriously
Katya: it was a lot of broken english
Katya: and he was getting pissed at me
Katya: when i said iw asn't interested
itchy: the number one enemy of telemarketers these days, and it almost seems like they're clueless to it, but the dead silence in the first 5 seconds after saying "hello" is a HUGE CLUE
itchy: and even if they get as far as answering, the din of 500 other telemarketers in the background ALSO A HUGE CLUE
itchy: also, you can guarantee if they start out with "now, I'm not selling anything", the conversation will end with "so, how many can i put you down for?"
