I, somewhat to my shame, 'toyed' with one of those "Hello, my name is Tom
and I am calling to tell you that Microsoft have found a problem with your
computer" calls for a while, to the point where I departed from the script
by not having an Internet Explorer to open, and then not having a Start
button.
Just before the (rather explosive) end of the call "Tom" asked me, rather
plaintively, "Why have you been wasting my time?"
Looking back I actually feel rather sorry for the guys actually doing the
calls (at least in some of the operations). Though the perpetrators are
contemptible, the droids are really more just pathetic.
