Well, some jackass called me several times today – each time the caller ID read 000-000-0000. Since I’m procrastinating at work anyway, I figured I’d answer it the third time around. Here’s the actual conversation:

Me: WHAT.

Her:

Me: HELLO – WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

Her: Good afternoon sir. I’m calling from Frontier Finanical (it was a name like that, I can’t remember for sure) because your Visa card is in good standing. There is nothing wrong with your card.

Me:

Her: Because your card is in good standing, you qualify for $40 in free gasoline coupons.

Me: (shouting) AWESOME! THAT IS AWESOME!

Her: Um…

Me: (still shouting) GREAT! THIS IS REALLY GOOD NEWS!

Her: Well, that’s great. We’ll be sending you the gas coupons in $10 installments…. blah blah blah

Me: (still shouting) OH. UH OH.

Her: Yes?

Me: I just crapped my pants.

Her: *Click*

If I’m going to have to put up with this shit on a regular basis, I’m at least going to have some fun with it.
