Those phone calls from Asian call centres.

Me: "Hello?"
Her: (after 10 seconds delay) "Hello...who am I speaking to, please"
Me: "Who do you want to speak to?"
Her: "I would like to speak to Mr [my surname, mispronounced, which isn't easy]
Me: "Speaking"
Her: I need to ask you some security questions, to make sure I am speaking to the right person"
Me: (getting fed up) "Well, you rang me, so start talking or you're gone"
Her: "What is your address and date of birth, please"
Me: "Sorry, but I don't give out personal information like that unless I know who I'm speaking to. Who are you?"
Her: "I cannot tell you that until you have answered the security questions"
Me: "Oh well, never mind...ring back again when you can" (hang up)
Aaaagh!
