They never give up!
Had a telemarketer call, Aussie mobile phone number displayed. Indian accent.
Hung up in his ear.
I was bored...
Called the number back a few times, but it was in use. Finally got through.. I said "Is Gerard there?"
He replied "Is no one here with that name?"
I called back several more times until the line was free again. When he answered, I again asked "Could I speak to Gerard please?"
He was annoyed, "I already tell you, there is nobody here with that name!"
Took me another 15 minutes before the line was free again and I launched into "Is that you Gerard?"
He exploded "You stupid! I tell you many many time is no Gerard here!"
Left it to simmer for awhile before calling again. After about another 6 attempts, it started ringing.
When he picked up I said "Hi!, this is Gerard ... have there been any messages for me?"
Might try the number again later, and ask for Angelo ...
