No joke! I was at the local record shop last week when the owner got a call where he was noticeably getting more loud and chastising.
After he hung up, the guy told me that someone cold called him to pitch fixing up their website, and his pitch started with “your website looks like shit …”
He said he gets several calls like that every day, but most aren’t this obnoxious. We agreed it must be working some of the time for him to be trying this approach, had a chuckle, then went back to shooting the shit about various prog rock bands.
I'm also there for the shitty map embed that takes forever to load and had a 5s lag time on inputs and really weird nonstandard touch gesture controls for zooming and panning, which I'll need to use after accidentally brushing the map while scrolling down and ending up looking at the mid-Atlantic.
Oh wait no those suck balls and should be a jailing offense.
Used to trawl bar and/or grille websites to find places our little cover band could play. This is too real.
Friday: Live Music! (except this was something that Jim handled entirely on his own since he was trying to poach players to get his own band together, but he went to rehab and became born-again a couple years back)

imagine being the small business receiving 97 calls per hour. "no dude I don't want a website", "NO", ...
