A conversation:

Melle: *calls salesrep* Hi, It's Sofie from the call centre. You left a message on the voicemail this morning?
Salesrep: That's right, Sofie. Sofie, I need [blahblahblah], can you do that for me, Sofie?
Melle: *already twitching slightly* Sure, can do! Could you tell me [information]?
Salesrep: I'm in the car, Sofie, so I can't get that information, but [information I can also use, though it's a lot harder to search using this].
Melle: Okay, I'll arrange for that.
Salesrep: Thanks, Sofie.
Melle: No problem, have a nice day!
Salesrep: You too, Sofie!

Note: This is a simplified version of this conversation, and for full effect try hearing the salesrep's end of the conversation as read by Zaphod Breeblebox, Infomercial Presenter.

God, yes, that's exactly it, that they completely don't get that you know, we're most of us not morons, and we totally see right through the fucking act! (There's some cultural difference at work here too, to be fair, but still.)
