Fun With Another Unsolicited Phone Call

At 12.08 today I received another call from a gentleman with an Indian accent. He was trying to tell me I had a virus on my computer.

My usual way of dealing with these calls is to mess them about and see how long I can keep them on the phone. Today was different. I think that what sparked my responses this time was the fact that I had just been deciding whether to have a sandwich or some left over curry for lunch.

This was a reasonably brief conversation for me as I kept interrupting what he was saying instead of waiting for him to finish.

“Hello, Is that Mr…?”

Rather abrupt, “Of course it is, you know that. You called me.” (All my further interruptions are very abrupt.)

“It’s been reported to us …”

“Yes, Yes, I’m not interested in excuses. You’re late!”

A pause then “I think you ….”

“You promised to deliver by 12 o’clock and it’s ten past. What’s wrong?”

“No, no, I think you’re mistaken …”

“I’m never mistaken! I know what I ordered and have it written down in front of me.”

“I’m sorry, Mr … but what do you think you ordered?”

“My usual curry, of course! Four poppadoms, lamb Vindaloo, Bombay aloo and plain rice.”

“But we’re not…”

“Look, if you don’t want my business I can always order from the Raj.”

“No, you have a virus …”

“What!!!! You're handling food when you have a virus!! I’ve a good mind to report you to Environmental Health.”

“It’s your computer…”

“Don’t try and blame your mistakes on a computer. I ordered by phone. So either get your finger out and get here within five minutes or I’ll never order from you again!”

And I slammed the phone down.

 

I love taking these calls and messing them around. Mrs shiney is usually rolling around the floor laughing.

 

No it's not! :nono: :nono:

 

No it's not! :nono:

 

It's much more fun than getting annoyed with them, isn't it :happydance:

 

That sounds more like it!
