How not to interact with me

[yendi]

The phone rings.

Me: This is Adam.

Caller: Hi, my name is Anna, and I'm calling about your subscription to [trade magazine]. I'd like to renew your free subscription, and I just need to confirm your address and answer a few questions.

Me: Sure, but I'm rather busy right now. Can you call back tomorrow?

Caller (without taking a breath): Sir, it will just take a minute, and there are just five questions, and. . .

Me: *click*

Seriously, your free trade magazine isn't worth it. Really. If I need it again, I can go to the website and request it again. At this point, though, you've just chased me away.

Related: I just realized that the classic slasher/comedy flick Student Bodies is finally out on DVD. It features, of course, this great exchange between the school principal and the killer (played by Richard Belzer):

The Breather: Click

Ms. Van Dyke: Did you just hang up?

The Breather: No, I just said "Click."

I will forever be terribly amused by (and partially frightened of) paperclips because of Student Bodies. Hee! ^_^
