I just picked up YET ANOTHER cold call

I answer the phone.

Her: Can I speak to the person who deals with advertising?

Me: There is nobody here who deals with advertising right now. Goodbye. CLICK.

She tries again.

Her: Was I just speaking to you about advertising?

Me: Yes.

Her: I think the line got cut off.

Me: No. I hung up.

Her: That's a little bit rude.

Me: It's a little bit shit being in your job then isn't it?

Her: … … … (dejected) Yeah a little bit. Bye. CLICK.

If you are reading this, it's time to start looking for a different job.
