Credit card phone spammers: "The Owning"

Spammer: "Hi, is this AMp?"

Me: "Yes."

Spammer: "Has anyone talked to you recently about reducing your credit card debt and credit card interest rates?"

Me: "I have no credit card debt and my interest rate is 1%. Can you still help me?"

Spammer: "We can give you a 14% interest rate on a new _____ card combined with a free balance transfer from your old cards to consolidate your debt."

Me: "Did you hear one single word I just said?"

Spammer: "We can take your application right over the phone and doo everything for you at no cost to you, or we also have a website if that's more convenient for you."

Me: "Are you smoking crack or something? I said I have no debt and a 1% interest rate."

Spammer: Would you like to submit a free phone application? I can give you instant approval with up to a $1000 credit line, and also send you a booklet of checks that you can withdraw cash advances from your account for a very small fee. They're very helpful when you need cash immediately."

Me: "Is this some kind of a joke or something? Am I on some hidden camera tv show?"

Spammer: "Excellent choice AMp! I will transfer you to our application specialist to confirm that I have spoken with you about this and the application process should only take 5 or 10 minutes of your time. I'll transfer you now if you're ready..."

Spammer's Assistant: "Hi AMp! You've made an excellent choice in..."

Me: "I'm gay."

Spammer's Assistant: "Excuse me sir?"

Me: "I'm gay."

Spammer's Assistant: "Okay, I'm confirming that you've spoken with ________ and I will just need some information to process your application before...."

Me: "I just gave you some information."

Spammer's Assistant: "I'm sorry?"

Me: "I just told you I'm gay. Isn't that relevant to the application? Can I get a lower interest rate if I'm gay?"

Spammer's Assistant: "I've.... I... I don't see how that would affect your credit application in th...."

Me: "Then I don't want it. I want special treatment on this matter, because god knows I deserve some, and if you can't do something for me, then I don't want it."

Spammer's Assistant: "YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF JOKE! THIS IS MY JOB HERE! WHERE DO YOU GET OFF MAKING A JOK
