+ I Met Life Today...

I had this bizarre conversation three days ago with someone who called me on the phone.

My mobile rang. I picked it up, and said hello.

“Sir, I am calling from Metlife(-something). I wanted to talk to you about our financial services (blah-blah).”
My stock response: “I am sorry, I’m not interested. Thanks.”
“Ok, thank you, sir. May I know your name?”
!!!!!!!!!!
“You don’t know my name??!! You just called me and spoke to me!”
“Yes, sir, but I don’t know your name.”
“If you don’t know my name, why did you call me?! Where did you get my number from?”
“The number is there on our company database, sir. That’s why I called you.”
“You have my number on your database, but you don’t have my name!! How can you just call up someone without knowing who they are...??!!”
“I’m sorry, sir. Goodbye!”

Have you met life today?

Oh, yeah, I have. And I didn’t like the experience one fricking bit!

PS” A point to ponder. All sorts of your personal, professional and financial information is floating around. Do you have any idea who knows what about you, and what they are doing with it?
