Pointless Conversations

[dissention]

I went out to eat earlier this evening and when I got home, I got a call from my mother. As soon as I answer the phone, she barks out "Have you seen those new cars?"

"What new cars?"
"The new cars that they came out with," she tells me.
"But what kind?" I ask. "Honda, Toyota, Subaru?"
"Yes."
"Yes what?"
"Those cars!"
"But which ones? Those are all from different companies," I tell her.
"THE ONES YOU SAID."
"So you're talking about the new cars from all different of companies?"
"Oh, forget it." And she hangs up on me.

Does anyone else get telephone calls as inane as the one I recently received? Do they irk you as much as they irk me? Do you ponder changing your number afterwards and not giving it to anyone so that they can't bother you? Crikey.
