liar liar pants on fire
I had a call once from some indian call centre.
"Hellomynameisjeremy"
me "Hello"
"Could I interest you in........"
me "Would you buy something off a person who lies to you?"
"No sir"
me "then why would I buy from you?"
"I am not lying to you sir"
me "yes you fucking are. You're in india, you're indian and you said your name was Jeremy. Fuck off"

A lot of Chinese and Indians anglify their names
So he probably wasn't lying.

Although I loathe foreign call centres as the people never understand you and cannot deal with comments or issues that are not on their scripts. Idiots.

A lot
of them are requested to Anglify their names for their work. So it is still a lie, meant to give a sense of familiarity. Like a lot of callcentres have the news from BBC and the English weather up on a computer screen in case small chat is needed

I raised this
with an Indian lady at work (in the UK). She said that in some parts of India people do have "english" names.
