The phone just rang and the Caller I.D. said "Home Energy Mas." I answered and the call went like this…
SOME WOMAN: Hello, Mark?
ME: That's me.
SOME WOMAN: This is [some woman's name] with [some construction-type company with "home energy" in its name] getting back to you. Do you remember our call about eight months ago?
ME: No.
SOME WOMAN: Oh well, I just wanted to see if you're still interested in doing that new exterior coating on your house.
ME: You're lying. We never talked before. Don't ever call me again.
SOME WOMAN: Oh, okay. Goodbye.
