Ngl, it's nice to hear that "normal people" don't like talking on the phone: I have a speech impediment, and it's fine when in person because people can see I'm having an issue; but when on the phone I just go silent and there's no way for people to know that I'm having a moment as opposed to being a dick, and that makes me preemptively uncomfortable.

It’s crazy that the man actually gave his first ever media interview just a few months after this video was posted.

Speaking of talking on the phone, I don't like telemarkerters, but I've found it's damn fun to just mess with them and joke around. Cause I figure they're either A, forced to do this job because it was the only one they could get, they hate it and at least this way they'll get a funny story to tell their friends. Or B, they actually like what they're doing and so deserve to have someone take the piss out of them. My favourite so far was the lad who clearly read from a script, so I said, in an Ingmar Bergman impression "No, no. Cut, cut, cut. For fuck sake. I can hear that you're reading from a script. We need authenticity here. We need emotions. Pretend I'm your mother. I'm sick and you have to make me take my medicine. Pretend the thing your selling is the medicine and..." I didn't get to finish cause the guy hung up.

Thanks, Fact Fiend! Once again, your content successfully drags me out from under a rock and teaches me something interesting I had no prior cognizance of! Cheers!

Respect for turning down an advertisement for a service that only lets customers cancel by calling. Makes me so mad with stuff like XBox Live or internet where you can sign up with just a click online, but want to cancel or even reduce your plan... nah, gotta sit on a phone for an hour and have someone aggressively & angrily try to talk you out of it.
