I usually have fun with these telemarketers ...ORIGINAL: Dixie

Which utility? Water? Powers? phone? Internet?
Gas and leccy. I get free water [8D] and Mrs Dixie is i/c the 'fun' stuff like phone and internet.
I'm renting my apartment from a military connected foundation which by law isn't allowed to bring in more money than they spend on the administration and maintenance of the buildings. This means that my rent is very cheap by Stockholm standards. A nice part of the service is also that phone, electricity, water, internet (20 MBit/s) and garage is included in the rent. The only "extra" that I have to pay for is the TV channels.
This means that now and then some telemarketer from the TV company phones and try to convince me that they have the most fantastic package to offer me that includes not only the TV, but the phone and internet as well. After they have babbled away for a while and tries to hook me up, I solemnly inform them that their price is higher than what I'm already paying. A couple of pushy souls have then tried to counter with "We can go lower than what you are already paying". I usually then inform them that this means that they should pay me to use their services, since my phone and internet cost me $0 a month ...
It's awesome to really throw them off their scripted responses ... they usually respond with "Ah, uhm, ok, guess we cant beat that" ... [:'(][;)]
