Rent Out Of Shape

(I’ve been getting a lot of telemarketing calls on my cell phone even though I’m on the ‘“do not call” list. As annoyed as I am about it, most of the time I simply state that I don’t have student loans, or I don’t have credit cards, or simply that I want to be put on their “do not call” lists. Usually they’re pretty nice about it as long as I’m polite to them. This chap from one of the solar power companies, however… Well, he took the cake and pushed my last button.)

Solar Guy: *goes through his five-minute spiel* “So, are you interested?”

Me: “No, sorry. I don’t own my home; I’m a renter.”

Solar Guy: “Yeah, sure. That’s what they all say. If you’re not interested just say you’re not interested. You don’t have to lie.”

Me: “Dude! I have a 400 credit score. I couldn’t get a loan for a used [marital aid] much less a house!”
