A very charming interaction I had with a local fiber internet rep today.
Sadie: [immediately launches to Defcon 1, scattering toys in her wake and poofing up like she was doused with Miracle-Gro]
Me: [Glances out window, sees that it's basically a kid with a company vest] Just a minute! [herds the housewolf into the bathroom before answering the door] Hi there!
Rep: Hey, sorry for setting off the bark alarm.
Me: Nah, you're good, she just thinks she's head of the Neighborhood Watch.
Rep: What kind of dog is she?
Rep: [Eyes widen to the size of saucers] Whoa, I'm not qualified to deal with that.
Me: Ha, yeah, that's why I shut her in the bathroom.
Rep: Appreciate that. So I'm with [company], we're just going around today seeing if people are interested in fiber internet; is that something you think you'd like?
Me: Oh yeah, I actually got set up with you guys a while ago! It's been so much better than the old provider.
Rep: Yeah, so - wait, really? You're with us, not with [competitor]?
Me: Uh, yeah. Here, my autopay actually just went through not that long ago. [pulls up email showing that I have an account with them]
Rep: ...huh. Sorry, they didn't give me a list of existing customers before they sent me out. Would you be interested in upgrading?
Me: Nah, what I have is fine, but thanks for checking in. Want a water or gatorade for the road?
Rep: I'm good, thanks. Have a good one, and tell your dog she did her job!
[Exeunt scene, not pursued by a housewolf.]
