Yesterday, a salesman called me by phone, on behalf of a
telecommunication company, to sell his phone plans. I was at work and while I
usually don't1to spend time with those
conversations, I2myself that I couldn't talk
yet and proposed him to call me back one hour later, at 6 pm.
That's what he did. So we315 minutes. He explained to
me his different phone plans, which he stated to be better than my4one. While listening to him,
sometimes I was lost in my thoughts. I gave several "hmm hmm", as a5of approbation (赞同) and to6to him that I was still
there. Sometimes, I felt a bit7, especially as he had a
bit of difficulty in correctly talking in French. But I stayed calm and8until the end of the
discussion.
At the end of the conversation, he9the following to me: "Thank
you, Olivier. You are the first person in a long time, with whom I had a(n)10conversation. Usually,
people11at us, insult us, and treat
us as thieves. Today, since 10 am, I hadn't had a(n)12without an offense. I know
you had a long day at work and you could have13in front of your TV or done
something else. Instead, you listened carefully to me. I am14and I sincerely thank you.
I wanted to tell it to you."
I thanked him for this revelation. I realized how much he
could have been the subject of verbal15, all through his working
days. Yet, he was only doing his job. I hope he will have a good weekend.
