[lit-ideas] Re: Another Bush failure?

Calls from angry bill collectors.......
 
I have some rules:
 
1:  "unknow name unknown number" I ain't gonna answer.  If they don't want me 
to know who they are I'm not interested in talking with them.  Beyond rude it 
is.
 
2:  "If this person lives in this house press _______"  yeah right (Timothy 
leaves the same message daily.  I have no idea who Timothy is, but he calls 
every day saying, this is Timothy, please call me at ........some 800#) Sorry, 
I'm not that loose.
 
3:  "Please hold" (I'm sorry, someone I don't know calls me, to put me on hold? 
 I don't think so.)
 
Caller ID is a wonderful thing.
 
 Telemarketers are  a whole different story.
 
If I'm in the mood for fun and have time I attempt to engage them in literary 
or theologic discussion.   If I'm not I tell them I'm on line with someone in 
China, but they can call back.

Julie: I think I've finally figured out why I love this list so much. It makes 
my life feel relatively normal (anyone want to define that?). 
 
{{Humpf!}} That's easy for you to say. You don't have angry bill collectors 
calling on behalf of said Geary, PhZ. Anyone dunning you in gravel-blasted 
Cajun accents above the syncopated backbeat of accordions and washboards? Oh 
no, everything is normal. Next it will be gypsies. And zombies. And then zombie 
gypsies. What I want to know is where is Martin Buber in all this? Dead I tell 
you, deader than a boiled mackerel. That's where.
