Dumb things sales reps have told you

[SteveDallas]

If you have the kind of job where companies try to sell you stuff, you know the joy of hearing them make their pitch. What stupid/silly/inflated/etc. things have you gotten from them? Here's mine from today:

Me: Why was this completely innocent email the tech support folks at a software company sent me designated as spam by your email filtering service?

Rep: Looks like our content filter got it.

Me: Oh. Well what was in the email that made it look like spam to the content filter?

Rep: You know, I'm not familiar with it to that level of detail. Let me get my boss to talk to you.

Rep's boss: A lot of people use our product and they love it.

Me: That's nice. Can you tell me about this email?

Rep's boss: Well, we have over ten thousand content filtering rules. We couldn't tell you exactly which one a particular email violated.
