Pay

I just had an oddly flirty conversation with a Toyota person just now, in our bimonthly discussion about my payment's whereabouts.

I probably started it, since they called on my cell, and I don't recall giving them its number (though that doesn't mean I didn't), hence giving me no explanation for the fact that my phone's caller ID didn't work, for the first time that I can remember. So I said "Hello?" with a touch of probably amusing confusion.

"Ah! Jason McIntosh!" Pleased familiarity? Did I know this woman?
"Hiiii!" Playing it safe, in case I did...
"Hellooooo! This is so-and-so from Toyota Financial Services."
"Oh! Hello!" Far too perky.
"I'm calling about your biiiiiiiiill?" Insinuating an awful lot.
"Mm-hmmmmmm?" Needlessly playing dumb.

After getting down to brass tacks, the woman brought up the fact that only eight months remains on my lease, so there's no bad feelings about my tardy payments nowadays... after all, there's only so much left that I can possibly owe them! Why, she spends most of her time harrassing Lexus lessees who owe thousands of dollars! So, I didn't have to pay off my piddly little Corolla debt all at once, if I didn't want to.

Wow, I feel like Toyota is my best friend now. *sniff* I AM LOVED
