Surveys by phone

You've probably had them, I've certainly had them: a polite call from a kindly sounding person wanting a few minutes of your time for a survey.

Here's my response:

"So, how are you going to pay me?"

What do you mean?

"You want to use my time to make money, so I want to be paid, how are  you going to do it? My rate is $160 per hour or part thereof".

I'm sorry we can't pay.

"Hmm, I didn't think you would, tell your boss he's a user."

And....hang up.

  1. I love telling them that I have had a lobotomy, talk really slowly and when they ask for someone else to speak to, accuse them of being bigotted against a person with a disability. They then hang up. Well, nearly all: Indians from Mumbai or anywhere else in India, seem to hang in there a lot longer than anyone else.
