How I dealt with a nuisance caller

On Tuesday afternoon my landline phone rang. I rarely use it nowadays and have actually thought about getting rid off the whole thing.



Anyway, the conversation went something like:



- Is it Mr $quanda£ot, asked a lady with American/Canadian accent?



- Yes, speaking.



- Do you have a central heating?



- Yes, I do, why?



- It's about energy...



- Well, I'm very happy with my current supplier and not going to change...



- I'm not asking you to...



- To carry on, I need to ask some security questions.



- Well, uhm, ok.



- What is your full name?



- My name is Jane Smith



- What is the full name of the company you are representing?



- Consumer...



- What is your mother's maiden name?



- Oh, uhm, hmh



- I asked you what your mother's maiden name was. To carry on this conversation I need to go through the security. Ok, what's your religion?



- What?



- Now, do you actually like girls or boys?



- I don't have time for this. Thank you any way.



So the lady hang up.



I bet this will work with everyone, including debt collectors if they are silly enough to ring me!,
