verizon "wireless" why are you calling my land line?

we got a call this afternoon on our home phone. (oh, by the way, we went to lizards thicket for a week) (oh, by the way, we got back last night). the call was from verizon wireless (the same verizon wireless that we got zero coverage from while at lizards thicket, meanwhile, corrie, who has sprint, had zero problems). &, of course, they wouldn't talk to me (the person who pays the bills) because my name isn't the primary name on the account. shelly's is. so i started to give the phone to ms. shelly (who isn't a ms. but a mr., but, whatever!) but before i could do that, i just had to ask - "why aren't you calling us on our cellphones? don't you want us using our cellphones more than any other phone?"

what i learned - 1) they only call the main number listed on your account
2) they have no sense of humor! whatsoever!

so shelly gets on the phone & asks -
1) are you calling to lower my rates?
2) do you have any new phones for old, blind, fat fingered people?
3) are you calling to lower my rates?
4) do you still make that worthless phone you sold me the last time? (no, it's been retired)
5) are you calling to lower my rates?
6) are you associated with verizonwireless.com? cuz that's the only way i'll order a new phone is online.
7) are you calling to lower my rates?
8) did you know if you order online you don't have to pay an activation fee?
9) are you calling to lower my rates?
10) did you know i have a bag of old phones to choose from if i want to change phones?

do you think they will be calling us again, anytime soon?
(of course they will & it won't be to lower our rates)

I love it!!! Cracking up!! Hope you guys are well, and that you had a nice trip to Lizard's Thicket. Do you offer a discounted rate for cottage rental if the renters offer to work on whatever projects need working on while they are enjoying the Carolina weather??
