Todd called me again today. Todd calls me at least once a week with this important information about health care. Normally, I just hang up on Todd, but today I was bored so I pressed one and waited for a live operator. Because some days, I just gotta play with these guys. I should have asked if running out of cigarettes is an emergency.
Sometimes, I get really bored so I don't hang up on the spammers. This guy actually told me he would pay the bill...then he changed his mind. lol

Now how did ya get him to almost pay that fee @JolietJake ? I'm 68 and my income is solely SS and of course this and a couple other sites so that $39,95 monthly activation fee isn't something I'm willing to fork out and I've tried like the dickens to get them to pay that fee but they keep telling me "but that's as affordable as we can make it" I'm not falling for it

I'm not sure how many times he mentioned the "$400 value free" thing...maybe 4 times...and dammit, I almost had him paying the monthly fee!

Hey! The guy has a job to do. He may not really like doing it but it's a job and he's been given a script to follow. You gave him a test (to see if he really could find his way through the multi-choice script) and you took him outside of his comfort zone there. Have a heart! Give him a break! How much commission does he make outa that measly $39.99? Uh ... maybe $4 for an 8 minute ccall? That's 50 cents a minute (if he makes a sale - nothing if not) and that's a full $30 an hour. Let's say that every 6th call results in a sale (am I being generous?). The guy makes $5 an hour reading his script over and over and having to deal with some really awkward gits like you most of the time. Next time let Scar answer. I'm sure that answers like "Miaaaoow??" and "Miaou!" don't figure in the 'expected responses and answers' bits of his spiel!

You should have asked, as you were bored this would have been extra fun.

I laughed so much watching this. Are you going to pay it for me? Yes, I will, ummmm no I won't. His long pauses were also funny.

I think you should just let Scar handle these cars from now on, although this did brighten my day.

@JolietJake Maybe he got annoyed. He just needed a break from you needed to cool down for a bit.
