Call Centres
Dreadful pits of hellish torture for both customer and the people who work there. Press 1 to leave an amusing story, press 2 for us to send you a lunchbox full of turds.

Conservatories
I'd always wanted a conservatory, still do in fact, but I've never been in a position to afford one unfortunately.
Anyway, I was at home one hot sunny day thinking how nice it would have been to have a conservatory so I could sit out in it and relax on one of my hard earned days off.
*ring ring*
What a stroke of luck, not only for the cold caller but for me too, it was a well known double glazing company....
Me: "No I'm not too intersted in double glazing thanks, but do you happen to "do" conservatories"
I could hear the cold callers voice raise an octave or two in joy. I discussed at length that I'd always liked one, nothing too fancy, plastic roof, double glazing. It would ned to be reasonably soundproofed too, as I live(d) close to a main road, it was all doable. Excellent stuff thought I, gazing out of the window at nature in all its bright and beautiful glory, I asked him one last question:
"How easy is it to attach a conservatory to a second floor flat ?"
At this point he hung up, though I was very keen to get one or at least a quote, and thought I'd be the envy of chavsville if I had a conservatory batoned on to the side of my little flat. If only it was viable, I was serious for the most part, if not only brought on by a hot sunny day and an overwhleming sense of boredom. And yet I was still quite proud of myself for that.
(I know, I preferred undercovercarrot's tale too)

I've done this too, re my 6th floor flat.
The cheeky fucker asked me, did I know the people on the ground floor? If so, could I contact them?
