Today, I was so lonely, I wound up talking for two hours to the creep who calls my number every Friday night and makes creepy obscene breathing noises on the other end of the phone. Turns out he's a better listener than my husband. FML

Today, I called up Verizon Wireless to "complain" about my phone service. I really had nothing to complain about, I was just that lonely that I wanted someone to talk to. FML

Today, the phone rang. I run to get the call, I trip, fall on a metal chair. Tears in my eyes and out of breath I pick up... "Hi, do you have a minute to answer a few questions? It's for a survey." FML

I love talking to them! I get to rant about Roswell, Jesus, Amway, Nibiru, 9/11, the Lindbergh baby, OJ Simpson, Biafra and the Hindenburg, and they just have to sit there and take it!

As someone who works for a company who conducts these surveys, you are wonderful. It’s hard to get those long surveys, and sometimes our hours are at stake if we don’t get anyone to complete them.
