The Newspaper I Took From
I just got a call from the Oregonian because I recently cancelled my subscription. This is how it went.
ME: “This is Jon”
LADY: “Hello, is this Jon”
ME: “This is Jon”
LADY: “Hello yes, since you recently took away your weekly paper from us I want to offer you the daily paper free.”
ME: “No thanks”
LADY: “But its free for 5 months.”
ME: “No thanks”
LADY: “OK then you get no free paper. *abruptly hangs up*”
One thing. I didn’t take anything away from The Oregonian. So its strange that she said I took it away from them.
With word choices like that its like saying: “You took something from my yard, please have something from my yard for free.” Then again, I love words and find it funny/strange/cool how people use them.
All in all a completely strange conversation.
