Random Phone Calls
Imagine this:
You are happily sleeping in for the weekend (which you hardly have the chance to), and suddenly the phone outside rang. Annoyed yet you feel that it might be an important call. You hop out of bed from your precious lala land and answered the phone call.
Caller: Hi I am XXX from XXX company. I would like to offer you XXX product… bla bla bla (The words makes you feel like going back to sleep even more)… ? *somehow the long string of words ends with a question mark, expecting an answer from you*
You: Huh?
Caller: I would like to offer you XXX product… (you starts to drift off again…)
(Eventually you got annoyed and hung up… or the caller got annoyed at you because you made them repeat like a zillion times which they probably already has done that from previous calls)
You ran back to your wonderful comfy little bed. But you ended up not being able to go back to bed =.=
…
…
…
Don’t you just hate random calls?!
Cause I do!
I’ve got 5 yesterday?! And guess what I was doing for the whole day? STUDYING!… and guess what? I won something twice =.= (Congratulations, you’ve won XXX for just XXX dollars!)
…
=.=|||
There are so many different type of random calls you get and you will be seriously amazed how operators can handle this type of job (they probably get a lot of shit from people like us) cause I will die calling people everyday…
