I was sitting at the desk, fixing a webform for my parents site (turned out quite well) when suddenly the phone rang. I usually check the caller id while i pick up, but it read “unknown” — but whatever — i always pick up.

  • MM: Yes?
  • MM: Who is it?
  • Bot: Hello, my name is Rosentreter and i would like to return the computer i just bought from you on eBay.
  • MM: You would like to do what?
  • Bot: Yes, i would like to return it, because it doesn’t even have Windoo on it.
  • Bot: I need that because i am a poet, i write poems with it.
  • MM: What the fuck? What kind of computer did you buy from me? I didn’t try to sell one.
  • Bot: I would like to return it.
  • MM: He, you sound like a hoax, dude…
  • Bot: So i just send it to your adress.
  • MM: …
  • Bot: …
  • MM: Hmm, wonder what comes next.
  • Bot: So i just send it to your adress.
  • MM: Sure — Go on, tell me more.
  • Bot: Have a nice day.

Now i am sitting here waiting for a friend to call me back and laugh at me, or what the fuck will arrive the next days via DHL.

Sounded like a bot though, like those callcenter retards that ask for menu numbers: “Press 1 if you would like to make a purchase, press 2 if you would like to sue us”. Weird, but kinda funny i have to admit.
