Peter: Is Mandy there?
Me: This is she...(hesitantly, of course)
Peter: Hello this is Peter ____ from ______.
Me: Oh, yes...you were the one kind enough to rat me out to my boss.
Peter: Sorry? I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Me: Dude, don't lie to me. I don't care what you're selling, we're not interested. And you can't end a sentence with a preposition...FYI.
Peter: I'm calling from _____ and I want to save you money.
Me: We already work with Staples, but thanks.
Peter: Well, in these tough economic times, Staples is not a friend of small companies.
Me: Yeah, we're not interested.
Peter: Not interested in saving money?
Me: Not interested in talking to a tattle-tale is more like it, Peter.
Peter: What? So you're telling me you don't want to save money?
Me: Listen, I know you're a salesperson and this is how you make money...I also know you probably went to school for something besides this but yet this is how you make your living...but is it really necessary to call a gal's boss in order to make a quick commission check?
(silence)
Me: Peter? Are you there?
(dial tone)

A whole morning cupful of awesomeness!
I guess Peter doesn't read the Angry Office Manager. His loss, evidently!
Staples pulled that on me once. I hate the "not interested in saving money" bit. Jerks. Luckily, all calls go through me, so my "Peter" wasn't able to call my boss directly.
