Terrible Korean TIMES tele-marketer lady

I was cooking dinner and heard cell phone ringing. "Hello~" I answered in English then I heard voice of somebody in Korean. I said "여보세요", then she started "blah blah blah...". It was basically advertising for subscription TIMES but she didn't breath. And she never gave me a chance to talk. Always right after I said "yes" or "no" she cut me all the time. Once when I had a chance to talk I said "Because you throw too much information at once, I didn't understand anything what you were talking about." Then she replied, "I talked about only 3 things."

I thought 'what a terrible talker.' 'Beside of that, she doesn't know that I don't have any intention to subscribe.' 'And she doesn't even know that she is wasting her time and my time by not listening at all.' 'Don't you know the word "turn" or proportion of conversation?' 'I'm listening because I don't want to lose my gracefulness so I don't cut while she talking.' It was fun to just listen her awkward intonation of Korean, though. 'If she is tele-marketer how she gonna make money with that poor sense of communication?' I let her babble with advertising and push the camcorder button.
