View Full Version : Some fuck from a website design company phoned the office today...

...and his introductory line was "Good morning, sir. I have been looking at your website and it isn't very attractive. Would you be interested in having a new one built for you?"

Admittedly he was from India, and so his grasp of the nuances of the more tactful elements of the English language may have evaded him, but I'd rather not have to deal with that shit first thing in the morning.

How about "Good morning, sir. I have been looking at your website and I wanted to undermine your confidence in your own work by telling you how shit it looks"

or perhaps

"Good morning, sir. I noticed the abysmal state of your homepage - if you don't mind me saying so, it looks like a dog ate it then shat it out but in doing so suffered an anal prolapse at the point of excretion and left your website smeared with shit and dog entrails."

He then proceeded to phone me back twice within the next hour when I told him to phone back at a later date (polite way of saying fuck off).

I've noticed that sometimes people from India who are new to the English language can come across as being agressive / tactless. They don't seem to be aware how foreward they are being.

I have to regularly deal with once such fellow and I have to keep reminding myself its a language thing.

Unless he is actually just being a bollox.

He called me too but I don't think he understands that is what my goal is.

I still need to do some work but so far so good (http://www.angelfire.com/super/badwebs/).
