Unfiltered Story #258868

Inspired by a story that I read on this site, I decided to try something with the next telemarketer to call me. I don’t hate telemarketers, just the scammers. Telemarketers are just doing their jobs. It’s hard for me to differentiate between the two if the scammer has sufficiently good-quality audio, so I never do anything insulting when one calls; just silly. As she’s going through her opening spiel:

Me: *singing* There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium and hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium and nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium and iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium, europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium, and lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium and gold and protactinium and indium and gallium… *deep breath* and iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium!

I can hear the telemarketer cracking up on the other end.

Me: Yeah, I’m not interested, sorry.

Telemarketer: Okay, sorry to bother you. Have a nice day!

Me: You, too!
