"Hello?"
"Hello Sir, how are you today?"
"I'm very well, thank you. How are you?"
"I am fine too Sir, I was wondering..."
"Is this a sales call?"
"Well, Sir..."
"This is a simple question. Is this a sales call?"
"Well, Sir..."
"Look, this a very simple straightforward question. Don't you agree? You only have to say yes or no. Is this a sales call? You don't have a problem with my English, do you?"
"No, Sir, of course not, Sir, well, Sir..."
"Maybe this is down to the fact that you are somewhere in India or God knows where and I am sitting here in London and this is a seriously crappy line so I am happy to repeat my question and remember, it is yes or no. Is this a stupid sales call?"
"Well, Sir..."
"Let me repeat that question one more time. But I've got to warn you. A minute ago I was feeling quite relaxed. It's the weekend. Nice weather outside. The birds are singing. I don't blame you for sitting somewhere far away but I really like to know if is this a sales call. You do understand why I am asking you this question, don't you? Yes or no? In other words, are you trying to waste my precious time on a beautiful Sunday afternoon? What is this regarding?"
"Yes I do, I mean, Sir, well..."
"With all due respect, I don't quite understand why you are not answering my question. It really is that simple. Is this a bloody sales call? Yes or no? Because I am more than happy with what I've got. I am very close to getting seriously pissed off now. And I understand that's not what you want. Correct? Well if I were you, I wouldn't do anything to make me feel pissed off anyway. Just a thought. Makes sense, no? I don't need anything. I don't want anything. My bank account is happy, my mortgage is happy, my telephone account is happy, my stupid mobile phone is happy, I don't need any stupid advise on anything. My utility accounts are happy. And I don't recall having asked you or anybody else on this stupid planet for any stupid advise over the bloody phone. And I certainly did not ask you to give me a ring. Is this a sales call?"
"Well, Sir..."
Put the phone down.
