A Clueless Person's Lair

Best phone call etiquette EVER

May 27, 2008

Yesterday I got a phone call from this number: 016-6628085.

I didn’t recognize the number but I answered anyway.

Me: Hello
Stranger: Hello boleh saya cakap dengan Encik *my dad’s name* ?
(Hello may I speak with Mr. *insert dad’s name*)
Me: Who are you?
Stranger: Nama saya Nadia dari ……(whatever name that I couldn’t make out) agensi.
(My name is Nadia from ….. Agency)
Me: What is this regarding?
Stranger: *something about credit card*
Me: Oh not interested

*click* I hung up.

She calls back a few times and asked for my dad again and again. I ignore the subsequent calls from her but she kept calling and calling. I was very annoyed and decided to finally answer the call but little did I know…

Me: Hello? *in all nice voice just to annoy her*
Nadia: KAMU NI PEKAK KAH??!?!?!? I CAKAP SAYA NAK CAKAP DENGAN ENCIK. *DAD’S NAME*
(ARE YOU DEAF??!?!?!? I SAID I WANT TO SPEAK TO MR. ….)
Me: *cuts her off* Yalah memang saya pekak, dengan orang bodoh saya pekaklah. When you know how to speak English you call me back k?
(Yes I am indeed deaf, with idiots/stupid people I turn a deaf ear)
*click*

When I clicked to hang up I could still hear her going at it in her loud sharp voice. Needless to say I was laughing my ass off after hanging up on her.

With that kinda attitude she expects anyone to sign up for a credit card with her? What a joke.

I suspect it’s a scam of sort because I would like to think that no legitimate credit card agency would have this kinda staff calling up people and being THAT rude and speak no English at all. Another thing is why the hell did she ask for my dad by calling MY number? The only connection is that my number is registered under my dad’s name. So that means the cellphone provider gave away that information right?

But regardless I had the last say by calling her stupid. It was so satisfying! LOL

I’m still giggling about it until now.
