Welcome to crazy thoughts....page 2.

Can't believe you are still here and reading this.� Well...these are my thoughts, and my life does happen to be the most crazy in the world, so I guess that there is no reason that this is not mildly entertaining you....

THE AT WORK CHRONICLES:

~ Call number one of strangeness:�� I'm the 3rd night on the job at my crazy and strange place, and I get this psychotic crack fiend on the line who threatens to sue my sorry butt....I gotta say that it was humorous...Here's this drugged out 65 year old woman yelling at me and telling me that she's goin to sue me for $500 because I called her and solicited her... she wanted to know how I got her phone number, because she pays for an unlisted phone number, and no one should have it except for the people she has given it to. I gotta say, I had to turn on my mute button and laugh at her... I mean come on, to get a credit card you have to put a phone number on it... that's how the solicitors get your phone number...we don't sit around with a phone book all night long looking for crazy old people to call and harass, the puter dials it for us! So I stuck my supervisor on the phone, normally on a call like that they are off within two minutes, but she was goin to take him to court too, because she has her rights and she knows them, and she wants this and that.... So then HE puts her on mute and starts laughing.... I gotta tell you for the people who are rude to telemarketers, if you think you are proving anything, you really are not, we are just� goin to hang up, laugh at your sorry stupid self, and tell everyone in the room about it. It's just as effective to listen to the whole schpeal, say no thankyou, say no thankyou again, and request to be taken off the calling list... We don't' really care we are just doing our job... Ya know that thing that you do for how ever many hours you do it a day, well most of us go to school, go to work, and then at the end of the night have to do homework... So just be polite, say those 3 shorts phrases, and you won't be the laughing stock of the office for the night.

~Call number two: I'm goin about my business, and all of a sudden, I get this crazy phone call, I hear running water, and the guys says, well, sorry they are not here, but I am, and I'm taking a shower, would you like to join me? Um hmm what do you think I'm thinking: Um, can I just hang up on this sicko?? It's really scary when people start talking to you like they want you and crazy shit. If you were the person on the other end of the line, how would you feel? Me, since I have a very good sense of humor thought the guy was a sicko, but I still laughed at him for the rest of the night, I mean what do you think we do? Sit in a room full of people not talk about the crazy people we just talked to?

~Call number three: So I call this guy, and all of a sudden, he says to me, well you have a very sexy voice, what do you say about you and me taking my leer jet to dinner one night in New York...I'm like yeah buddy, you're gonna fly here from Ohio or wherever you are from, pick me up take me to dinner in New York City of all places, and fly me home the same night, I say yeah and there goes a monkey flying out of my butt-whoohoo there it goes, did you see it? Next thing I know he's asking me to marry him, I was like um no, "Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries". So he sits there and tells me what a sexy voice I have, and tells me to call him back later- cause his wife just walked in the door... Just one word - FREAK!!!

~Call number four: This one happened tonight, I was sittin there mynding my own business, when I get this phone call, and the girl was positively bein a rude rude girl, she wouldn't put the guy on the phone because I was supposedly coping and attitude. So when the guy gets on the phone finally, he starts to yell at me for bein rude to his daughter, "you are a telephone solicitor, and you should have better manners than that" he goes on to say that I was rude to his daughter and how I should show her respect even though she was totally getting her attitude on. Then he tells me that I was showing him disrespect by calling him about his credit card and some of the things it had to offer him. He says to me that he is a lawyer and he knows that nothing is free, he says that if he knew who I was he would take me to court for showing his daughter such disrespect... I was simply asking for the guy, she asked who I was and I said well my name is, and then she got into like 50 questions that I simply was not going to tell her the answer to, because she was obviously not old enough to buy her own smokes, let alone use her own credit card. So he phlips out at me and all that shit, all the time, I have the mute button on and I'm laughing at his sorry ass. I'm thinking that I was the one shown disrespect not the freakoids on the line...oh well, one day I'll call them back and then I can really show disrespect.
