Liar Liar On The Telephone (Wire)
Me: “Hello, [company name], how may I help you?”
Caller: “Yes, I would like to speak to [company president’s first name].”
Me: “May I ask who is calling?”
Caller: “This is Joe. He is expecting my call.”
Me: “… and you are with?”
Caller: “Just put me through, he knows me and is expecting me to call.”
Me: “I am sorry, sir, but my instructions are to find out who is calling and what company they are with before transferring the call.”
Caller: “Look, I am his brother and you better put me through right now!”
Me: “Oh really? Well, I am his sister and I know for a fact that we don’t have a brother.”
Caller: *click*
(Salesmen will say anything to get through. And yes, I am the CEO’s sister.)
