A few months ago we terminated our Directv service. Since then we receive special offers several times a week by mail so we will re-sign with them. They seem to be most anxious to get our business. They tell us that we are a most valued customer--yeah, right. That could be because I always pay a little more on the recurring monthly bills that necessary. In fact, when I cancelled the contract, they owed me almost $150.00.
Earlier this week, we were out doing errands when my phone rang. I answered because I couldn’t read the incoming call information; the sun was bright and I didn’t have my new glasses yet.
Me: Hello.
He: This is Directv and I like to tell you about a special offer we have for you if you come back to us.
Me: You’ve caught me at a bad time. I’m driving. Could you call some other time?
He: Why don’t you pull over so we can talk now?
Me: What? (I was astounded.)
He: Just pull over and we’ll talk now.
Me: No.
I then hung up without a good-bye or even an invitation to stick his special offer where the sun doesn’t shine. I felt a little bad, because I was almost as rude as he was. Well, maybe not all that bad.
He hasn’t called back. I guess they won’t be offering us another $200.00 gift card.
