So there I was, minding my own business, getting slowly merry this afternoon after a rubbish week at work. Get a 'Knock Knock' at the door.
Open door, Scottish Power minion is stood there all smarmy and smiley.
Minion: "Hello Sir. You're not a Scottish power customer, are you?"
Wow. He can read his own database!
Me: "Er, nope. British Gas"
Minion: "Well, We want you back!"
Me:"O...k..."
MinionRabbits at length about various reasons why British Gas are
poo)
Me: (too tipsy to give much of a crap but listened out of general politeness)
Minion: "So, Mr Smith (wrong name!) Shall we just step inside, We can get the paperwork started, yes?"
Me: "huh? I don't think we've really made up our minds who we're going with. British Gas is just fine at the mo" (+ other general 'bugger off, I'm not interested' phrases).
Minion: "You what? Why not (getting all huffy) Don't you want to save money? Is that it? It's just a case of getting a different card! Give me one good excuse why you don't want to change to Scottish power!" (ranting like a sulky teenager at this point)
Me: "never said I didn't. Just said We haven't given it much thought. If you could leave some details on prices, we'll give it some serious thought (Really meant this bit - sounded good).
Minion:"Oh, whats the point!? People like you never actually change. You're all the same. Just excuses."
Me: "No. We might change. It's just I don't really feel like giving my bank details away to some cold caller. We will probably change, just want some time to look it over. I'd rather ring your call centre or do it online".
minion: "So what was the point in me knocking on your door then? I'm just trying to make some money and save you some at the same time. If you're going to do all this online, I might as well have stayed at home!"
Me: "Fair enough. Can i have that leaflet with the price details on it to look over?"
Minion: "No. I need these for the real customers" (Stomps, Yes, Stomps off and slams gate!)
Look at the wife, Roll eyes, both mutter "******".
I really was considering switching right up until the bit where the guy became an arsehole!
