Elderly Newspaper Readers

by Juzzzy @ 2006-11-30 - 14:30:18

Why not continually phone up local newspapers with your opinions about that week's news and then sound all sad and confused when it is explained that the newspapers do provide a letter's page for that, but not a fucking answering service?

Why not then say you can't write a letter on your own because your eyesight is bad and then when it is suggested you get someone else to write the letter, like a family member or neighbour, for instance, reply that you haven't got anyone, even though you obviously have because they're prompting you, loudly, in the background?

And why not then reluctantly hang up only to dial the same bastard fucking number, instantly, thinking there is a cast of thousands at the other end of the line who unlike the first person to answer do actually provide some kind of typing pool service for lazy pensioners?

Is it too soon to wish you a very merry Christmas?!

Oh how distressingly familiar...

However can I point out the one thing even worse.

On occasions, someone not a million miles from this blog has to answer the phone calls for an on air phone in...

No, bending journalist's ears. Like Werther's Originals and hitting kids with your walking stick

"Sorry, son, I'm a little hoarse."

"What? Like a fucking pony?"

Don't get me started on elderly people; especially the ones in Tesco who walk at two miles an hour in front of you, and try to shove you out of the way with their trolleys! >:-[
