(Phone rings)
ME: Hello?
CHIRPY VOICE: Hi! This is Ashley with consumer promotions!
ME: (Thinking… Ashley sounds suspiciously like a recording.)
ASHLEY: How are you today?
ME: I’m hanging upside down on a hook in a meat packing plant.
ASHLEY: Great! You’re eligible to win a Caribbean vacation!
ME: They’re coming for you next, Ashley.
ASHLEY: It’s exciting! Let’s get started!
And I went back to my coffee. Now people in Starbucks are giving me the side eye.
This is why I love Caller ID. And glad robo callers don’t have my cell number… Yet. Unlike our house phone. Which is why I LOVE Caller ID. Oh, did I say that already? 🙂
Ha! thanks for that visual, Meg. Ashley has got to go.
How funny. I think about what to say an hour or so later.
Normally I simply hang up. Something — maybe caffeine — came over me and I started talking back.
Well, for the entertainment value of your readers, you should continue.
That is just great! I love a good sense of humor.
