My name is Peter, I'm calling

[craigvk]

My name is Peter and I am calling to speak to Mr. AAAAA.

Comon'. Some turkey with an Indian accent? Peter?

I said right up. 'your name is not Peter'. Blah Blah. "your name is not Peter' He said 'I am calling from India' No shit!

I said I am not interested and said your name is not Peter.

Poor bastards. I don't like to be rude but when you get calls like this claiming to be some turkey calling from the other side of Melbourne, get real.

What are your famous overseas impersonations?

a few weeks back my missus fielded a call from some idiot...
"hellooo I'm calleeeng from india..sydaneee"
she told me that rest but I forget.
I got one just the other day, some chick wanted to sell me DODO DSL. I said I wasn't interested, but she put me on to her supervisor anyway.
He kept trying to push the sale, and I told him that if I were to switch to dodo then they'd have to pay out the contract I already have with telstra. he didn't know what I meant so I explained that I was already in a contract with telstra, and the money I'd save over 2 years from switching to dodo would be less than what I'd spend to pay out my current contract.
he said "oh no I can't authorise that" my only rebuttal "then I'm not switching"
and he wished me a good day and promtly hung up

Funniest telemarketing call I had was an Indian ringing up and saying they were calling from 'sunny Melbourne' when it had been pouring in Melbourne for the prior two days !!

I said you should look out your window and hung up...
