Description:

Seal oil are tablets, like Omega 3 supplements. Wow. Just... wow. It wouldn't have been AS bad if I hadn't actually INTERRUPTED her to tell her No. I get the odd sales call from earlier subscriptions to various things, and they seem to all be as dumb as door-knobs. I realise they're working on provision, but Know when the race is LOST, sweet-heart.

I hate phone sales! I had a guy call me and try that hard sell with me. I hung up after trying to be polite, and he called me right back! I told him to #$@ing stop calling me. How do these people think that being that pushy will get them a sale? It won't from me... ever. Great video! -- Matt

You are a strange fellow, aren't you? I don't know if I'm watching because you're a nice bit o' eye candy or because you're an effing lunatic. Probably both, come to think of it. Way to be.

I forgot to say in this video that I was phoned up this MORNING as well, by someone else. "I'm sorry if I interrupted you at dinner." he opens with. "It's nine in the morning, dude." "I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Blah blah" - click. Bye bye.

Thank you very much! (for both of those compliments. ^_^) You've got some nice vids yourself, and I think you should do more! (if not exactly like those, at least something... Especially now that I've subscribed! ^_^)

Oooh! I love Heroes, too! Anywho...next time just yell out something weird and random, like "Put down that chainsaw, Ethel!" or "No, no don't put the cat in the microwave!!" and hang up. :P BW~SuLu

You know, I'd love to, but I'm just too darn polite. Also, I forget all about such fun ideas when I'm actually is in a situation where I can use them.

I love that show too! Phone sales suck, I have a hard time not being rude when someone is calling me (always at the wrong time) trying to sell me crap.You should ask for the persons HOME phone number so that you might call them back at a better time for you.(Like late at night or the crack of dawn.)

What is "selolje"? Is it really seal oil? Do you put it on toast? With jam?

they ALWAYS call while i'm cooking dinner. ALWAYS!!! my daughter is trained to hang up on them immediately, but sometimes she slips up and hands me the phone... so i just say, "i'm sorry. i'm busy cooking. goodbye." and hang up the phone really fast.

It's okay to be insistant, it's all about knowing when to stop, I suppose. I guess they don't really care. Maybe they think "He doesn't know me anyway, so I'll keep going for a bit more. Maybe he'll buy it just to get rid of me."

Heh. There's a comic in Norway called "Pondus" and there's been quite a few good strips on the subject there. I actually have an original sunday strip of the comic down in the living room, framed in. I'll see if I can make video of it some time.

Haha! No, they're capsules, like Omega 3 capsules. You just swallow. ^_^ But yeah, they're really oil extracted from seals. Cute baby seals. ^_^

^_^ Good tactics. They're kind of like Saruman, really. The longer you let them speak, the higher the risk of them winning the battle.
