Stupid idiot rude telemarking F***S

[Technoid]

I got this call a moment ago

Me: Datastudion, mathias!
Telemarketing ahole: I'd like to speak to the manager or the president of the company.
Me: I'm the only one who speaks english here
TA: oh.CLICK (ends the call)

Then repeat three times on our other phonenumbers

I still think that common curtesy is to at least say "bye" :Rolleyes:

Unfortunatly we get laods of these strange calls from companys that wants to sell anything from stocks to Russian millitary material

it's gotten soo bad, I won't even pick up the phone unless the call display shows a number I recocgnize.

Be prepared next time.

If the bastard is trying to sell you something over the phone, order a dozen or so of the product, arrange for COD to the address of one of your worst enemies - 2 birds with one stone.

I wonder why they want to know if your wife is home

[Sasq]

they just assume my wife is Japanese.

my usual response is "i'm not married" or "she's not home now" (when will she be home? after midnight. oh click)

[The PIT]

Or as a friend once told me. They just got home shattered and the phone goes. Cold selling finally they managed to get a word in edge ways and asked the lady

"What time do you finnish work?"
"Twelve O'clock sir"
"Can I have you phone number?"
"Why"
"So I can ring you up when you're finnished wor,k knackered out and wanting a rest with a phone call full of rubbish"
"Oh"
Click

Caller ID is one of the best inventions ever made.


I hate answering the phone for that reason.

I used to do surveys for one company, and yes the best time to call is aroun dinner time, that's when most people are still at home.

i don't do that job anymore and i don't wat to ever go back to telemarketing, cause it sucks. I've had a few death threats and such.
