Just got accosted by someone in the supermarket trying to save me money on my telephone line rental. Thing is, he would have but I didn't want to agree anything without checking the terms of my broadband which strictly speaking is in a deal including my phone calls (not that I make any on the landline, but that didn't seem to bother them).
Except that the explanation I attempted to give didn't come out quite so coherent, because my estimate of how much the salesman would know seemed to be several ball-parks too large. Partway through the full explanation of what I was actually concerned about, he pointed out that it's his first day, although even when his colleague joined in I was clearly talking straight over their heads. I finally tied it up by admitting that they would save me money but that I was concerned it might invalidate my broadband deal (like Tiscali would even notice...), and they decided not to provoke any further technobabble.
Finally, I attempted to reassure the new guy that he wasn't often going to meet people as troublesome as me, because I'm industry. Unfortunately I accidentally gave that line with --verbose and turned an apologetic 'I'm not a regular customer; don't worry' into 'I'm an arrogant arsehole with a pretentious job title who is determined to boast about how much more than you he knows.'

Oops.
