I lied.

Confession.
Sometimes I lie.
Dont give me the gasp and the "Youre not the person I thought you were" speech because everyone lies. Even you.
Admit it.

When telemarketers call the house at dinner time and ask for me, I tell them she isnt home.
I sometimes tell them I am the babysitter.
Thanks Google images

Which is kinda true I guess.
Except I dont get paid.
And I can never leave.

What I really want to say is "Stop calling my house every day at dinner time and bedtime!!!"
But using different words.
You get the idea.

When telemarketers call the house asking if we want our ducts cleaned or new windows, I tell them we just had it done and installed all new windows.

Which is kinda true.
4 years ago.

What I really want to say is "Leave me the f&*% alone!!!!"
In a very angry tone of voice.

When people call my house asking me to do a survey, I tell them I am heading out the door and do not have time.
But I am really sitting on the couch filling my face with Mini Eggs not planning on leaving the house for days.
So what.

What I really want to say is "GKAGJDFYUDFYUFDKJXGBKJGIIKGIU!!!!!"

I understand it is their job.
But, in this day and age, cant they just send me an email?
So I never have to answer it.

Don't you have an opt out list? We have something called the Do No Call list and once you register, theoretically, they aren't allowed to call you anymore. It's cut the annoying calls WAY down.

But to answer your question, yes, I sometimes lie too.

You also tell people that you drink alchohol to cope. Truth is you can't stand the stuff and probably consume about 3 drinks per year!

This is why we don't have a home phone. We don't get those calls on our cells!

I sometimes tell the person that I am not home. It's not like they will recognize my voice. :P I totally get you on this one!
