Phone rings...I don't check the number...
The girl says "Hi this is Ashley and I'm calling on behalf of Duct Masters, we specialize in cleaning home ducts"
I say "I don't have a home"
Ashley says "Okay thank-you, goodbye".
She should have maybe offered to send me some soup or a warm blanket doncha think?

you should have told her that she had reached the soup kitchen... and their ducts look just fine!
but if you need a blanket, let me know!
Or maybe offered to put you in the latest edition of Homless Pornography. Quick cash maker, trust me.
Seriously though, wtf are ducts?
I don't know...I don't have a home.
Thanks MCG, but I've been huddling up under a heat duct outside the local mall so I'm fine.
I think I'll use that next time the secutity system guys call to try and sell me something.
"I don't have a home." Then they don't offer you a kind word, nevermind the directions to your nearest soup kitchen?! Outrage!
Not even a "Well I'm sorry to hear that ma'am. Try to have a nice day then."
People just don't care anymore! :)
Haha .. yeah, she must be new to the job!!!
I'm always polite but brief with telemarketers; a simple "no, thanks, I'm not interested" gets them to hang up, 99 times out of 100. The way I figure it, if they had their druthers they wouldn't be working phones for a living, so why be a jerk?
That being said, that was a pretty funny line. I should try to think up a funny, polite, and true stock-line to trot out for telemarketers myself.
It actually just came out of my mouth that way because I don't actually own the place I live in...but then it got funny!
Had fun reading your post today, when I get a call for some kind of repair, I tell them to call back when my mothers home..they never call back

You should have tried to sell her duct tape!
ha! that's funny. you're damn fast. I'd have told her I don't have ducts, but I like yours better.
Ho:
I know you would have come up with a better, wittier response...but sadly you weren't here. :)
