farking telemarketers

the phone rings. It rang a while ago, and there was the telltale pause before anyone said anything, so I hung up. If you ever call me, and don't answer right away when I say hello, I will hang up on you. This time though, it took me a second to get a grip on the phone after I hit 'talk', so I heard someone answer as I was hanging up.

Telemarketer Beeotch (in barely comprehensible accent, natch): Hello, may I speak with Grant *** please?
Me (annoyed that I didn't hang up): No, he's not in.
T.B.: Is this someone in the household? (is that not a really, really stupid question?)
Me: Yes.
T.B.: Hello, this is some beeotch from MBNA Bank, and I'm just calling to inform you that upon approval, you will receive your Platinum MBNA Mastercard; I just need to verify that the information we have is accurate. Is your last name spelled (for anonymity's sake, since not everyone needs to know Grant's last name) J-O-N-E-S?
Me: No, that's not even my last name.
T.B.: Ok, and what is the correct spelling of your last name?
Me: I don't really think you need to know that, and I have no need for any more credit cards right now, thanks.
T.B.: Oh. When is a good time to call back and speak to Grant?
Me: He won't be in until later this evening, and what with him being a student, I can't see that he'll be too interested in a platinum Mastercard either.
T.B.: ...
Me: Ok thanks, bye!
T.B.: Ok...
Me: *click*

As if he had applied for a platinum Mastercard? And if he had, do you not think he would have spelled his own name correctly? They might have to check? Who are they trying to fool here? Having said that, Grant is terrible for not being able to get rid of telemarketers. I do feel bad for them to an extent, I know they're basically real people just doing a job, but I'm not going to apply for a credit card over the phone, and you're not going to fool me into thinking that I already did by saying you have to "verify the information". Get a grip.
