I had a rather fun conversation with a bill collector this morning.
Me: Hello.
Bill Collector: Hi, may I speak to Mr Worthen.
M: This is.
BC: Hi I am calling on behalf of Ebay.
M: Ok.
BC: You owe them a balance of 193 dollars.
M: Yeah, I am aware.
BC: Well is there anyway we can make a payment collection today.
M: Well you kinda just woke me up.
BC: we can take a check by phone.
M: I don't have a job, or a checking account.
BC: Maybe you should get a job.
M: I don't need one, I am an amature skateboarder.
BC: Well instead of sleeping half the day away, you should be out looking for a job.
M: Excuse me?
BC: There is no money to be made in amature skateboarding.
M: Who the fuck are you to tell me about my life?
BC: Sir this debt has been owed for over 6months.( this was in an stern angry voice)
M: Well let me tell you something. I bet your really fucking happy giving advice to people and trying to get their money. But I know for a fact I am happier than you. You sit at your desk, arguing over the phone to everyone. Noone likes these phonecalls, and I'm sure you don't like making them for minimum wage.
BC: Well I am just going to note your refusal to pay.
M: I'm not refusing. I told you I dont have money.
BC: Thats refusing.
M: When you look in the mirror tonight. Just Kill yourself. Goodbye.
