My conversation with "Amazon Security"
I swear I'm not going to punch this up. The truth was satisfying enough.
Phone rings, I didn't know the number but I felt feisty this time.
⊷ Hello
⊶ (Heavy accent) Hello this is an automated call from Amazon Security blahblahblah Press one to be connected to a security agent.
⊷ I press one
⊶ Hello, my name is Mac and I work for Amazon Security...
⊷ What's your name again?
⊶ My name is Mac, M-A-C.
⊷ Oh my God, my brother-in-in-law is named Mac. His real name is Elton, but he doesn't like called that so he uses Mac as a nickname. Hey! Maybe you could do that. Tell people your name is Elton even though it's really Mac.
⊶ Silence.
⊷ What can I do for you?
⊶ Yes, my name is Mac and I'm with Amazon Security...
⊷ Are you with Amazon Security?
⊶ Yes.
⊷ Do you mind if I record this call?
⊶ (meekly) Yes.
⊷ OK I'm recording now. Are you really from Amazon Security?
⊶ (Hesitance) No.
⊷ Then I don't need you, do I?
✂ And he pulled the plug.
I don't get to do that vey often anymore, but I was having one of those days.
In the past i used to enjoy trying to sell them a new car in the middle of the transaction or I play the senile old man telling them over and over to speak up until they're yelling into the phone. When they finally ask for a credit card I tell them to wait while I get it. I come back and tell them "My son doesn't let me have one".
