So that was what it was all about..
some time ago I had a phone call--I do not have a lot of those --wherein a female, in rapid Spanish, was reading some prepared script.
WHOA, I said. Whoa. Slow down a bit, this is a foreigner you are talking to.
She slowed down for a few words before she took off again on her breakneck speed reading of the script.
WHOA, I said again. I don't get it. I am a poor foreigner. Bear with me. Slow down.
With that she hung up on me.
Good riddance I thought and then
the phone rang again
and a very pleasant gent was asking what went wrong, and I repeated what I had said to the female caller.
He chuckled and said that the female in question was known for her fits.
Good, so far.
A few minutes later my female caller was back with icy voice and very few words
yes or no
I figured that "yes" would get rid of her
so I said....YES
not knowing what the dickens I was saying "YES " to.
Now I know.
On my monthly telephone bill I suddenly have a charge for a thing that will allow me to make almost unlimited calls to the USA.
?
I never call and I have no intention of calling the states.
Now I have to go to the office and get rid of this unwanted xtra.
And I will be telling them about the surly female, you betcha.
