Phone rings at 11: 53 a.m. I answer on the second ring.
Me: Hello, this is Will.
Silence, only backgrounding telemarketing bullpen sounds are heard through the phone.
Me (after a pause): Hello. This is Will.
Her: Uh yes, may I speak to a Willy Campbell please?
Silence from me this time.
Her: I’m trying to reach a Willy Campbell?
Me: Really?
Her: Yes sir. Do I have the incorrect number?
Me: Indeed. There is no Willy here.
Her: Thank you.
Click.
omg…she said “willy” and you didn’t run with it, oy vey what a script mangler you could have had with that run!
LOL I like what Frazgo said, but I generally just wait to hear that call center tranfer to the telemarketer sound. The second I hear that sound I hang up.
