So, my phone rang before, and it was a telemarketer offering me a *free* mobile phone on a plan of just $29 a month. After they explained it, and I made myself sound intrested, the conversation went a bit like this...

Me: "So, you are offering me a free mobile phone, on a plan of just $29 a month"
Them: "Yes, thats right, just $29 a month"
"So, if the mobile is free, how about you send me the mobile phone, and I will use my own sim card and forget about your plan.."
"Sorry sir, thats not quite how it works..."
"But you said the mobile is free, meaning I wouldn't need to pay for it in any way"
"Yes, thats right, you just pay for the plan"
"Well, in that case, why can't you send me just the phone?"
"Because the mobile is free, with the contract"
"I thought you said there was no contracts"
"Thats right sir"
"But you just said the mobile is free with a contract"
"Im sorry, I meant with the plan"
"Well, I am going to be completely honest with you right now"
"Ok..."
"I am not intrested in your crappy plan, but will you send me the mobile itself free of charge?"
"No, sorry sir..."
"I think you misunderstood me, I said you WILL send me the mobile free of charge"
"Im sorry, as I said, we can't do that"
*Put on hold*
"Hello, this is the supervisor speaking"
"Hi, I was just talking about my offer"
"Your offer, sir?"
"Yes, I would like to take your crappy mobile, use it for the next 6 months making unlimited calls, which you pay for, then at the end of it all, i'll give you my opinion on your crappy phone"
"Im sorry, we have a set offer which is a free mobile on a $29 a month plan"
"Well I am not intrested in that offer"
"May I ask why not?"
"Because of the abuse I have gotten from you and your employees"
"Abuse, sir?"
"Yes, I believe you called me a greasy Australian"
"I did not, sir..."
"Well, I am not intrested dispite this abuse"
"We might have another offer you might like a bit better"
"Are you trying to offer me drugs?"
"ehhh...."
"I get it now, your mobile offers are just a front, you are really drug dealers"
"No sir, we don't take part in any illegal activities here at mobile choice"
"Then I have no business with you"
"Then I believe we have nothing to offer you"
"Then why are you still speaking to me...?"
*Click, hangs up*

I usually just listen out their offer and let them down gently, just like I do ugly women, but I just couldn't help myself, needed a bit of a laugh.

Anyone else got any stories like this?
