This Is Not The Airtel Site, You Morons!
An hour ago, I received the following email from the contact form on my blog.
b. anuradha
change the plan reg
Okay so what does that mean? I suspected that it was another moron who thought my site was the official Airtel site even though there is nothing on my blog to suggest that. But the sentence made so little sense that I was curious.
So I replied to that email and this is the conversation that follows.
Marc
Why did you mail me using the contact form in my blog (http://marcvz.net/blog)?
b. anuradha
change the plan in my airtel connection -reg
My Phone No is 43559xxx we have change the plan for 747 scheme
(I’ve edited out the last three digits of the phone number for this post).
Damn. This must be the fifth time this has happened. Previously some idiots left messages in my shoutbox! I wasn’t going to let this go without some insults. So I replied to that.
Marc
So you think my site is the official Airtel site.
Even though:
1. The title is ‘Marc Sez’
2. There is no huge Airtel logo anywhere on the site
3. There is a photo of a young guy on the right side
4. The address is marcvz.net and does not have the world Airtel in it
There is a limit to stupidity. Shall I come to your house and ask you to cancel my Aavin milk supply? Cancel your internet connection immediately and never come back to the internet.
Ha!
b.anuradha
i am very sorry sir
Well, it looks like she learnt her lesson.
Marc
Good. Now call 42111213 (Airtel Broadband helpline) and ask them what to do.
Deep down inside, I really am a good guy. After I’ve had my fun.
Hmmm. Now that I think about it the only reason for my final reply is that she was smart enough to chose Airtel broadband. BSNL users would have got no reply. (Mostly because I don’t know what BSNL’s call center number is.)
People contacting me asking me to change their broadband plans is almost as stupid as this.
reached this blog now.

actually i appreciate anuradha…
.. not only did she annoy you, she also got her work done (u gave her the airtel number didnt you ?). she probably thought its a forum since you discussed airtel related issues and didnt know where to ask. and u cant imagine how hard i had to try and contain myself with my reply considering the guy who posted that message on my blog is a staff !! in an engg college !!!

Yeah, how did you not start insulting that guy? I would have definitely said something nasty.
The thing is, Anuradha was smart enough to find my Email Me page and fill up the contact form correctly but failed to understand that this was a blog.

You can give me that number, in private… C’mon, you can.

What if she’s 40 years old?

George says:
What if she is? It’s Sundar, and besides it’s ‘reg’ who’s sending the email anyway.
I was going to say, “There’s no reason for you to be an asshole.” but then realised that there never is a reason and so that statement is redundant. Patently hilarious though.

Oh, and when I saw it in the feed reader, I read it as, ‘You Mormons’ and laughed like mad. I still think that’s funny. Mormons. Ha ha ha.

You could have let Ragha terrorize her. He’d have gone to her place and wiped it off for you.

Marc Z says:
Arun, I didn’t hate her that much.
George, why would… never mind.
