Tele-marketers Have Gone Too Far
I don’t know if your home is like ours, but we get at least 3 tele-marketer calls each and everyday. Some of you right now are probably saying “You need to register on the Do Not Call List.” The problem is that we are already registered. Maybe there is some glitch that you have to re register ever two weeks, but that the service doesn’t start until the third week.
Today I must have recieved the oddest call from a tele- marketer. I was working at home when the phone range and I check the caller ID and it was a local cemetary, curious I answered the phone and was told that I was the lucky winner of funeral plot. Being only 23 and reasonably healthy I wondered to myself what kind of poor person has to call some random stranger to try and sell funeral plots. I can’t imagine that anyone is excited to win a funeral plot, especially when they are only 23 years old. I guess there was one bright spot in my recent call, the voice on the other end was a real person. Imagine how twisted it would be to receive a phone call from a machine that is telling you you won a plot.
