    How much do you hate Telemarketing (warning - rude)

    I bet you don't go off on one quite as much as this guy.

    What gets me is that the guy still insists on trying to sell him whatever he was trying to sell him half way through the call.

    I actually got my colleagues in accounts cheering me when I dealt with my last pesterer... but I'm sure what I suggested to be done with the phone may have been anatomically impossible...

    ...why do these people always call before i've had my caffine for the day, and i'm not in the best of moods?

    I got woke up at 8.00 yesterday mooning by a tele sales retard.

    I wouldnt mind, but i had been up till four in the morning the night before after our car broke down in the middle of deepest summerset and ended up being relayed back to cheshire where we had i droped at the garage, followed by having to unload an entire 806 (large MPV) and 900lt Roofbox using a 306, While my mum and dad slept (they both had work the next day)

    And there she bloody well was at eight in the morning asking if i had receaved a cataloge from some unpronoucable company ive never heard of, and would i like another one sending out.
    - The best i could manage was, how would i know, no i dont ever want a cataloge thought the post, thankyou, good night.

    Then i lay awake, unable to get sleep, for two hours. YAY!!

    I had this one guy who was so blatantly reading from a script it was funny. It began "Hello, and how are you today?" To this I replied "Get to the point - what are you trying to sell me?"

    Cue a minute or so of paper rustling at the other end of the line as he searches for the stock reply to this, but he can't find it. So he just starts again from the top with "Hello, and how are you today?"

    I hate cold calls as much as the next person, but I've worked in a supermarket, and unloading on the poor guy in the middle isn't the answer. What I do is say, "I've just got a pan etc" and leave the phone on the side, eventually they just get bored.

    They probably put him on 'Ring back later' after that outburst though, just to piss him off more!

    Koolpc; the group you're thinking of is the TPS, www.tpsonline.org.uk. You can register your phones and mobiles but you still get the occasional call (which is technically illegal once you have registered).

    I signed up to the TPS. It really does work! I only get a very small number of calls and the ones I do get hang up pretty quick when I mention TPS.
