What a hoot!!!

My son has posted a couple of items on Blogger recently, about how he has dealt with Telemarketers. Very amusing too.
Recently, I have had phone problems of a different kind. No dial tone, then when that was fixed no Internet, unless I removed the filter/splitter and inserted either the phone cord or the modem cord.
Not at all satisfactory. I have since bought a new filter, and that has fixed that little dilemma. I also have had dreadful, at times, static on the line. I reported that nearly two weeks ago, The techie came and fixed that last week.  I have spoken with the same young lady a couple of times. Tonight, I answered a call, and she said who she was calling for and said she wished to speak to Suzanne. I said, if she wanted to speak to Susan, that I am she, but not Suzanne. She was taken aback, and very nonplussed, and just said 'Oh." A few seconds silence and she hung up. That was half an hour ago, and she has not called back.
I am still smiling about that.

I'd suggest saying that there is no Suzanne here and leaving it at that. No point in giving them your actual name.

Well, I actually didn't. She knew who she wanted to talk to, she just did not ask for me properly.
I always make callers tell ME who they wish to speak to and never volunteerr info.I did recognise her voice.
