    Idiot supplier reps

    Just took a call from what I think was a supplier rep. The reason I say "think" is because the conversation went something like this :

    <ring ring>
    "Hello, ClientCo, DaveB speaking"
    "Hello! My name is Omar, I'm calling behalf of < pause > errrr <5 second total silence>"
    <hangs up>

    So they have verified your name and number and that you exist. Prepare to be plagued with calls once the list gets sold on.
    Your colleagues will also get the 'DaveB recommended that I call you to introduce the bulltulip services that we peddle' type calls as well.
