Seriously.

“Survey Center” has show up on my caller ID at work for the past 2 weeks, sometimes up to 3 times a day. I finally answered today.

Guy: Hello, I am…uh, I am calling. We are taking a survey. It will only take a few minutes of your time. We want your opinion about how franchising affects the economy.

Me: OK, I’m sorry but I don’t have time for this now.

Guy: It will only take a few minutes of your time. This is Michelle, right?

Me: Yes, but I’d prefer to opt out of doing this.

Guy: It will only take a few minutes. Is there a better time to call back?

Me: No, and I don’t want to take the survey.

Guy: OK. It will only take a few minutes of your time, and together, we’ll get it done quickly.

Me: I’d rather not.

edit: Cube neighbor/nosy listener Jennifer says I giggled more than I am letting on during this conversation. So insert giggles accordingly.
