It’s A Free Market

(Our home phone rings.)
Me: “Hello?”
Caller: “Do you accept VISA or MasterCard at your location?”
Me: “Umm… This is a house. But if you want to give me your credit card number…”
Caller: “You have a business named [Free Tire Repair Service] at this number.”
(The caller is correct; I used to have a “business” in which I fixed flat tires for kids in my neighborhood at no charge.)
Me: *snidely, having realized that this is a sales pitch* “Notice the ‘free’ part? We don’t take credit cards.”
Caller: *picking up on my snide tone* “You work for free? What are you, a moron?” *click*
