I'm real nice and easy when I have to call someplace. Put me on hold, no prob. Almost always get what I want (but not one bit more).

Always kinda thought there'd be a good business in handling this from the consumer side. assholebyproxy.com or something (but think there are too many assholes already - bad for society). Some of the "assholes" I know are real kittens when you get to know them, but they sure know how to wing the deals, right down to buying cars and such. Save me a grand? How about we split it?

And no, I don't think Jeff's an asshole. Though he may play one on TV.
