answering the phone:

Me: "Automatic Fire Protection."
Them: "Yes, can I speak to Joe? Is he in?"
[oh wow, he sounds like a tool. must a telemarketer]
Me: "Junior or Senior"
Them: "Senior, thanks."
[hmm... definitely bogus]
Me: "May I say who's calling."
Them: "John, thanks."
[it's like pulling teeth.]
Me: "John..."
Then: "John Smith, I'm a good friend of his. Thanks."
[if you were his friend, you'd know that he doesn't go by Joe.]
Me: "Ok, what company are you calling with?"
Them: "Blah Blah, Inc. Is he in?"
[ugh. you're definitely getting voicemail...]
Me: "Let me check..."
[Don't even bother asking if my dad wants to talk to him...transfer straight to voicemail.]
[thanks for wasting 2 minutes of my precious time, I really appreciate it.]


This stupid conversation occurs more than several times a day.
I don't understand why they say thanks after every answer... your fake niceness gets you nowhere my friend. Nowhere.
