Do you ever get telemarketing calls? We are on the do-not-call list and get several per day. We got one about 2 minutes ago from a young man who kept silent when my wife said, "Hello." After 8-10 seconds he said, "hello". Then more silence. My wife said, "Do you have anything to say?"
He was silent about 3 seconds, and then started his canned spiel. She hung up.
Was he sucking on a marijuana pipe? So used to rejection he couldn't speak? Shy?
Hard to say, but I would not want him making calls for my product.
I don't want him calling me again, ever. He wasted my time and violates my privacy. He erodes my trust (I am on he do not call list, remember?). I don't wish him ill, much, but I don't like his telephone persona. Maybe in person I would enjoy him.
Probably not.
He got one chance to jump our defenses and present himself. He blew it.
How many times have I fumbled like he did, but in different contexts? I wonder. Maybe I would not like myself at such times.
