Telemarketers

Have you ever lost it with a telemarketer? I try not to,really. I know they are just trying to earn a buck and I'm sure they put up with a lot of abuse but WOW today I lost it. The telemarketer started in and as soon as she paused I said "No, thanks. I'm not interested." Usually I hang up before they have the chance to respond but today my reflexes were a little too slow. She began arguing with me. "How do you know you're not interested?" I was appalled. I asked, "What do you not understand about 'I'm not interested?" Why didn't I just hang up the phone? She started yelling at me, I mean YELLING at me. I couldn't even understand what she was yelling. So of course being the mature southern lady I am, I yelled back! I was engaged in a shouting match with some lady who I'll never know over an issue neither one of us really care about. Finally, common sense kicked in and I hung up the phone turned to my dog and asked, "What the hell just happened? How did I just turn into a cray woman?" Why didn't I just use that southern woman's catch all phrase, "Bless your heart" I mean I could have said, "Bless your heart, I know you're working hard and nobody really wants to list to your nice little pitch But the fact is, I'm am writing about fairies saving the world so I really don't have time to listen but I'm sure it's real nice."
Well, I suppose I can always use it the next time.
One more thing...After a few deep breaths and a long sip of coffee I realized I'm not really crazy. I know because the dog didn't answer my question.
