Ring Ring- Hello?

That was me yesterday when our home phone rang at 3:30 pm. I was working from home and usually I tend to ignore the home phone during "working hours" and let the machine pick up (hey, if I WAS at an office-I wouldn't be there to pick it up rightBut I decided to answer it out of curiosity. So here is the conversation as it occurs yesterday: Me: Hello? Caller: Hi, is Jeffrey Millner there? (first sign this is a political call-they ask for the full name of the registered person) Me: No, he's not. Caller: Oh, then may I speak to Jeff Millner please?(second sign I'm dealing with an idiot) Me: Nope. You can't. Caller: Are you sure I can't speak with Jeffrey Millner? Me: Well it depends. Caller: Depends on what Ma'am (third mistake-the dufus just called ME ma'am) Me: On who this is, why you want to talk to him & if I can dig him out of the backyard fast enough for you to talk to him in time before he suffocates. Caller: So he's busy right now? (really? are you kidding me here?) Me: Yup, I'd say he's busy. Caller: Well then, can I talk to you? Me:Depends. Caller: Depends on what ma'am? Me: Depends on how long you can keep asking me this. Caller: So you'll talk to me? Me: Nope. Caller: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm calling from the Republican National committee & I'm looking to speak with Jeffrey Millner. Me: Really? Caller: Yes Ma'am I am. Can I talk to him? (you get the feeling I'm not dealing with someone who's elevator goes to the top floor?) Me:I don't know, can you? Caller: Um, ok ... MAY I talk with Jeffrey Millner ma'am? Me: Nope. (this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then work, I really need to answer the home phone more during the day!) Caller: pretty please? Me: Nope. He's at work. Caller: You just said he was out in the back yard. Me: And I also implied that I buried him & he was suffocating & that went right over your head so sarcasm is obviously NOT one of your finer points so I'm opting for honesty since you'll probably not believe that either. Caller: So he's not there? Me: Nope. Caller: So can I talk to you then? Me: Nope. Caller: Why not ma'am? Me: Because you didn't say the magic words. Caller: But I did say pretty please. Me: Not for me you didn't, for Jeff you did. Caller: May I plese speak with you then ma'am? Me: Nope. Caller:( at this point he is nearly in tears) ok, I said the magic words, I'm calling from the Republican National committee & would like to speak with Jeffrey Millner or you about how you're going to vote in this upcoming election. Me: Son, did you say that all in one breath? Caller: Yes ma'am I did. Can we talk? Me: I don't know Joan Rivers, can we? Caller: I'm not Joan Rivers! Me: Look young man, there is no reason for you to take that tone with me and raise your voice at me for no good reason when I politely took your call today. Caller: (sigh) I'm sorry ma'am. May I please..... Me: Nope. You can't. Do you even know my name? Caller: I called Jeffrey... Me: Yes, you called Jeffrey, you didn't call ME. My name isn't Jeffrey so why should I talk to you? Caller: Thank you for your time ma'am. Click. You know, the youth of today are so impatient & rude. I can keep this up for hours
