So it was a while ago when I was a local coffee with a couple of my friends. It was a leisurely afternoon. I was joining my friends, listening to music while my friends were having a chat. And then suddenly my phone rang. It was a call. I wasn’t expecting any important call so I hesitate to pick it up. But then the curiosity got together. When I picked the call from the auto-aim, a man introduced himself to a camera to me from a well-known telecommunicating company. He was trying to sell me some of their new products with extra benefit. Honestly, the noise from coffee was really loud but I still hear it and catch some work from him. It was an inclusive offer. So I end up asking him a few questions to get more information about their product. But the more they talk, the less interested I feel in their product. So I end up calling him.
