So a telemarketer just called. I'm very nice to them, I just turn down whatever they are offering. We exchange the usual pleasantries...
"Hello, is Mr. or Mrs. P available?"
"This is Mrs. P."
"How are you today, Mrs. P?"
"I'm doing well. How are you?"
At this point she launches into exactly how she is...
"Well, I'm not really feeling well. I was feeling fine this morning and then all of a sudden I just started not feeling right, like I was coming down with something. I just can't seem to get over it."
I had to hold back from laughing, partly because it was so unexpected, partly because it's something I might actually do.
I managed to say, "Yeah, it's that time of year. Everyone's getting sick."
She then went into her spiel. I politely turned her down and told her I hoped she felt better soon. And I really meant it.
