On the light side today, two scenes from different TV shows on how to
handle tele-marketing calls.
TV Show - "Less Than Perfect"
Character - Kip Staedman
[Kip picks up the phone]: "Hello? Am I satisfied with my current phone
service provider? As a matter of fact, I am not. Sometimes I am in the
middle of a conversation and it gets disconnected." [Hangs up loudly]
"And I hate it when that happens!"
TV Show - "Seinfeld"
Character - Jerry Seinfeld
[Jerry is in the middle of a conversation with his friends when the
phone rings. He picks up.] "Hello? If I am satisfied with my
long-distance carrier? Well, I can't talk right now but if you give me
your home number, I will call you back. [listens] Oh, you are not
allowed to give out your number? Yeah, you probably don't want people
calling you when you are at home....well, now you know how I feel.
[Hangs up.]

I was amazed (and glad) to read the Indian government slap Bharti-Airtel telecom network and ICICI Bank with a fine of 50 lac each for harassing people through their untimely tele-marketing calls.
Someone like Jerry sure played a role there :)
