Silence of the Spams
The long silence you hear when you answer your phone, thinking it is likely a work call, before the spammer actually clicks onto the call to sell you something you don't want or need.
Phone rings.
I answer.
Me: "Hello."
Silence
Me: Hello?
Silence
Silence
Spammer: "Hello, is this Ms. (mispronounces my name)? How are you today?"
I hang up.
Co-worker: "Who was that?"
Me: "It was the Silence of the Spams."
I answer.
Me: "Hello."
Silence
Me: Hello?
Silence
Silence
Spammer: "Hello, is this Ms. (mispronounces my name)? How are you today?"
I hang up.
Co-worker: "Who was that?"
Me: "It was the Silence of the Spams."
