Work Madness
Phone call #1: background noise, no answer
Phone call #2: background noise, no answer
Phone call #3: background noise, no answer
Phone call #4: Same background noise as before, but...
GUY: "May I speak to the person in charge of Advertising."
*big pause, of about five seconds, wherein I wait to see if the man is that much of a moron as to call an advertising agency and ask for the person in charge of advertising*
ME: "I'm sorry sir, we're an advertising agency."

Phone call #5: background noise
GUY: "YOU'D GET MORE BUSINESS IF YOU LISTENED AND LET PEOPLE FINISH! I WAS LOOKING FOR THE PERSON IN CHARGE OF ADVERTISING FOR client."
ME: "I'm so sorry sir, that would be Boss Man."
GUY: "WELL I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO HIM."
ME: Oh yeah, like that's gonna happen. "Sure thing."
*puts on hold to do the standard tell the boss man who's on the phone*
*dude hangs up after two seconds*
What I didn't respond with?
ME: "Well, sir, since you apparently are completely incapable of operating a telephone in a manner to respond the first three times you called us, or since you don't have the name of the person you need, something that would indicate that you were with the client, that means you are a media person calling to sell us on your piddly ass magazine with zero circulation or piddly ass radio station with no listeners. Therefore, it is OUR money you want, meaning we would be giving YOU business, which means your brainless attempts to talk to my boss will be met with stone cold silence and/or voicemail from here to eternity because you didn't have the sense God gave a gnat to actually speak in a proper amount of time and therefore warrant more than a hang up, so just GO AWAY, as you are now guaranteed to never get our business."
