As good as it gets

Everyone would have been very familiar with tele-marketeers by now, and would have share a fair amount of dislikes for these species of wage earners (sorry, i know its for a living too, but too bad, so is robbery).

So today's version was quite similar (they all starts the same) and being a lil bit good angin today, i decided to let her ramble on for a few more minutes before I activate my online eject-button. so this is how it went

TM : Hello Mr Chin, good morning to you.
Me : Hello, good morning
TM : Mr Chin, this is **** from **** Medical Centre
Me : Medical centre? ha... siapa pulak masuk hospital?
TM : You see Mr. Chin, you have been selected by our management to enjoy a free total body check-up which includes heart disease, liver bla-bla-bla and a few more.
Me : MEdical check-up? Wait a minute, how did you get my number?
TM : Oh, your friend has referred you to us and out of the three that was given, we have chosen you!
Me : (still not impressed at all) ... Oh me? Why me?
TM : Well you friend has been a regular customer with us for quite a long time ...
Me : REGULAR CUSTOMER? Since when do I have a friend who frequents a medical centre? not that its a petrol station!
TM : So Mr Chin would you like to confirm your appointment?
Me : Heck not man! Choy!!!

wtf has just happened? my gawd, so to all of you reading this, stand up and be counted! which of you la has been a regular at a medical center!?! This is so terrible ... never have I imagined or thought that one would go this far to get handcock on a dotted line. Haih ... come to think about it, I have another one at 10am tomorrow morning, True Fitness ... see how true they can get with me.
