I'm 57 years old...and I have little patience for people intentionally wasting my time. If they haven't read my resume, why can't they just be honest with me and say so? After all, they're expecting ME to be honest with THEM, and I should be entitled to reciprocity.
I'm NOT some wet-behind-the-ears kid who thinks he can lie and it won't be discovered. Everything on my resume is true, because a) at my age, I'm too damn lazy to make up a good lie just to impress someone, b) at my age, I'm too forgetful to keep up with keeping lies straight, so it's easier to tell the truth, and c) I was raised with a fairly good sense of right and wrong. Besides, they can just contact my ex-employers and my references and get the truth, so I have no motivation to lie [I'm not applying for any $100,000 a year and up jobs that MIGHT be "worth" lying for, in the eyes of some people]. And I'm not claiming to have found a cure for cancer--or even diarrhea; I'm just claiming that I worked certain places during certain time frames, and performed certain tasks while employed there...and these claims are easily verified.
I just think that the way this beginning of a phone interview was handled showed a LACK of respect for me. OK, so you might say I haven't earned any respect from them; again, I see that as a 2-way street. If they start out by showing me no respect, their expectations of respect in return should be quite low as well.

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
