Well... mine went down like:

Possible new custmer picks up the phone

-Hi, this is not the best time to call.


-I would just like to set up a meeting....


-Yeah, well I'm in the middle of my father's funeral right now... So as I said before, not the best time, mate.

I was shocked, did not know what to say, and my fantastic mouth decided to say:

-Oh! I'm so sorry! Hope he gets better soon. (That moment I realised I really fucked up)

-Yeah, not gonna happen.

End of call.
