Cold callers - They don't listen!

Over the years, I've posted to Facebook about the random sales and questionnaire calls I've had, and how I get bored easily so fill them full of nonsense. Today I hit a new level......
I just fill them full of crap with my answers now hoping they'll get sick of me, but this guy is special.
By the way, I'm neither blind or in a secure hospital unit!

Caller: Do you own a car?

Me: No, I'm legally blind...

Caller: And would you like to save money on your car insurance?

Me: No, I can't see to drive!

Caller: Could I ask who provides your electricity and gas?

Me: I'm in a secure hospital unit so the NHS pays.

Caller: Are they part of British Gas?

Me: Are you serious?

Caller: Oh ok, Scottish Power.

Me: *laughing*

Caller: You sound very happy. Who provides your current mortgage?

Me: I'm in a secure hospital unit!

Caller: I'll just put the Halifax Building Society

Me: Really? Are you for real?

Caller: Going back to your car, are you interested in an extended warranty?

Me: I don't drive. I'm blind!

Caller: So someone else in your household is? That's great.

Me: Are you listening to anything I'm saying?

Caller: Of course, this is carried out on behalf of our clients! Have you ever had a loan or mortgage?

Me: No, I've never had either.

Caller: Ok, I'll arrange someone to call about you claiming back any costs or charges you may be entitled to via the PPI scheme.

Me: I've never had any charges, I've never had a loan or mortgage!

Caller: But they will check to make sure!

Me: I'm going to go now, I've got a driving lesson.

Caller: I thought you said you are blind?

Me: I am, but I have a modified disability vehicle.

Caller: Oh, that's great, have a nice day.

I'm lost for words...

I'm now going to post a copy of this to the Halifax and Scottish Energy!
