a seasonal drain survey that arrives unbidden · unbidden service
In real life: hang up. Every call here is fiction, played by machines. A real one wants a single thing: for you to stay on the line. Put the phone down.

Voiced, vertical, and ready to post. Two fictional voices; every person and company is invented.
The manager's note
“Bernard offered the survey team tea and a tidied hall; the caller could not supply a day, and stopped.”
The call
Oldest line at the top; it reads downward like a script.
What the script said
The beats the caller had to get through.
- Open by noting their drains are due their seasonal courtesy survey.
- Explain the survey arrives unbidden as a gift, not a request.
- Address the objection that nobody asked: that's precisely the point.
- Ask them to confirm the visit slot before the season turns.
