My Neck + Telemarketer

Author: Chris Morris  //  Category: OMG


Hey everybody,

Don’t know exactly what is/was wrong with my neck but the doctor gave me laser acupuncture (which hasn’t SEEMED to help) but after a sleep, I can now move my head fully to the left and fully down with no pain and almost fully to the right and almost fully up with little pain.

So, slowly getting better :P

What was funny was, about 30 mins after I cracked my neck, a freaking telemarketer rang (fucking telstra, we are no the do not call list) offering us roller blind shutters for a discounted or for free with a sign out the front yard.

Anyway, here is what I can remember of how the call went, I tried to record it but didn’t grab the right setting quick enough for the mic.

-Telemarketer will be in bold

Hi, my name is [so and so] and I’m calling today to offer you free roller blinds on your house, I was wondering if I could speak to the home owner.
Yep, that’s me, hold on two seconds (here I am trying to get the thingo recording)
[20 seconds later]
Yep, hello?
Hi, are you the home owner?
Yep
Cool, I was calling today to see if you were interested in roller blind shutters on any of your windows on your house, are you interested?
Actually, yeah, I am interested!
Alright, what we are offering is [free or discounted, I can't remember] roller blind shutters on one of your windows on your house and the only catch is, we put a sign on your front lawn advertising our services, [says some other stuff] are you interested?
No
Oh ok, what part don’t you like?
The sign, well… I mean, can I decide what picture goes on the sign?
[laughs] unfortunately no, what picture did you want to be put there?
I was thinking about a picture of Anna Coren. (lol, these anna coren jokes have been going on for months now)
Anna Coren? Who’s that?
She’s the host of today tonight
[laughs] Oh, I remember, you aren’t really interested are you?
Sorry no [laughs]
[laughs] That’s ok, see ya.

I kinda felt bad because this guy was Aussie and actually spoke sense and was pretty good ad advertising, but he seemed to see the funny side of it so I hope thats ok :P Finally a telemarketer that actually laughed when I said something about Anna Coren lol! Shame I didn’t record this one, ahhh well..

I Can’t Move My Neck,

I’m lying down in bed at the moment typing this up.

After I woke up today. I cracked my neck, it felt like fluid came out or something and now I can’t move my head the slighteset bit without screaming like a stuffed turkey on crack!

I’ve taken 2 Panadole Back and Neck tablets and now I can move just slightly more.

Ugh, way to start the day, huh?
