THE TELEMARKETEROne of the things most of us hate the most are those
phone calls where someone tries to sell you something. It doesn’t matter if it’s
insurance, switching your
phone provider, moving you to another
electric company, or any other
service that, somehow, always arrives “right now” with a supposedly
unbeatable offer.
The problem isn’t just the call itself — it’s the
timing. They always seem to catch you
working,
cooking,
driving, or simply trying to enjoy a bit of
peace and quiet. You see an
unknown number, hesitate for a second… and the moment you answer, you already know you’ve walked into it.
Some people have it clear and hang up instantly. Zero
guilt. But then there’s the other group: the ones who stay. The ones who, out of
politeness,
habit, or because they feel bad cutting someone off, remain on the line trying to dodge the conversation however they can. One-word replies, saying they’re not interested, that they already have service, that they’ll look into it later… anything just to escape without sounding
rude.
And that’s when the small
absurd duel begins: the operator following the
script, and you trying to find a way out without making it obvious you’re fleeing. A conversation nobody enjoys, that neither side really wants, yet somehow it always lasts longer than it should.
Next time it happens, think about this
post, about these
photos, and maybe the conversation suddenly feels a bit more
entertaining.

Now I get why they take so long to show up when you call them.

FOODPORN VOL31If you’re one of those people whose stomach starts growling or mouth starts watering the moment food crosses your mind, you might want to skip this next
foodporn entry. It’s not meant for sensitive stomachs or for anyone who takes this stuff too seriously.
We’re not here to talk about balanced recipes, nutrition, or pretty plates made for Instagram. This is about something else. That weird mix of
food,
excess, and a certain dose of
visual temptation that makes you watch even when you know you probably shouldn’t.
So consider yourself warned. If you decide to hit play on these videos, you do it at your own risk. Don’t say nobody told you.
