I could have used an RC-5 and Fubar on the vacuum cleaner salesman that showed up here last Tuesday.

Kirby or Rainbow?
had a Kirby salesman show up here a few weeks back - around 6:30.
I was not amused - that's right in the middle of dinner time.
Told him straight up I was not interested - we don't have any carpet and I trained to sell them 20 years ago (but wasn't impressed with the business model for low level workers -- or the ethics of the guy who was the regional manager in my town, so never cold called anyone - the only thing worse than knock & talk salesmen are telemarketers...))

SWISS ARMY KNIFES SUCK! I used the tip of the can opener on my mechanic as a flat head screw driver and the metal twisted. I think this would be categorized as misuse under their warranty. Oh well, i guess the knife has character. i am glad that my rat has a no questions asked warranty!

:thumbdn: I've carried a SAK tinker in my back pocket almost religiously for over a year straight, and have used the flat head screw driver multiple times, what ever you were trying to unscrew was obviously lock-tited, or had some bastard threads (threading backwards, right turn to loosen), and truth be told my SAK probably sees as much if not more use than my izula because it is ALWAYS on me.

(The afore mentioned SAK tinker was well used before it was gifted down to me, and I have also used the crap out of it, took it to the beach, short hikes in the Appalachian Mountains, to work doing remodeling and landscaping, to a JROTC drill competition...etc., it hasn't let me down yet. Also while I was at said drill comp., before inspection someone pointed out to me that I had missed a spot shaving (left at 4 am no wonder why) so I went to the bathroom and took care of that spot using the large blade on the tinker.)


Long story short SAKs are great tools :thumbup:

telemarketers! oh sweet! you hand the phone to your kid that talks to the most and walk away :). Sweeten the pot. Tell the kid it's Santa!

I know....I'm evil :D
 
I generally either ask them for a supervisor - and they hang up, or ask if i can put them on hold for a minute - and they usually hang up within 5 or 10 minutes...
 
I used to talk to them in French, until I got a smartass one time who spoke it too. Now I just have a contest with my brother for how long we can keep one on the phone stringing them along. Record is a little over an hour and a half.
