DUH! I just HAD to answer that damn phone..................  |
|
It's been a busy morning around here, and the phone's been ringing off the hook and I finally couldn't take it anymore and answered it. BIG mistake!
Caller: (sound of a foghorn blowing) Good Morning, this is your Captain speaking.... Me: Not interested... Caller: But ma'am we have a wonderful, sunfilled, funfilled offer for you on one of our cruise ships............ Me: I repeat. I am not interested.........(now I'm pissed at myself, so decide to salvage my irritation and have some fun, so I don't hang up and let the fool babble on....) Caller: Ma'am I assure you that once you hear our offer you will be packing your bags to take advantage of....... Me: I want a first class cabin then and a place at the Captains table. Caller: But ma'am our offer only includes.......... Me: How badly do you want my money? Caller: MA'AM, WE ARE MAKING THE OFFER HERE! Me: Ah, so what I want doesn't count eh? Caller: Ma'am if you would just let me explain................. Me: Listen buddy, a first class cabin and a seat at the Captain's table or the deal's off. Caller: Ma'am that's not the way it works............. Me: Then hang up. Caller: But.......... Me: Deal's off. Good-bye "Captain". Caller: Wait.......wait............... Click.
In a way I kinda feel sorry for the poor guy. He's got a quota to fill after all, but man, they should learn that no means no and just move on to the next name on their list.
When was the last time you had a phone call you could have fun with? Does it make you feel bad to play with people's heads when they are so SERIOUS? LOL

2. fjaril (4141) | 1 month ago | aaaaah.. You have scarred a newbie who now is without a job!!
HAHAHAHAHA.. He probably has a really good story that gets better and better as he tells it to his mother/ wife/girlfriend/ buddies/ OR the employment office when he goes looking for a new job!
Lobe your phone call. You are an expert.. Been on both ends, have you?? Thankyou for the fun too! How did you know I need this just now? You are amazing, and funny!

fjaril (4141) | 1 month ago | oooo noooo.. I am in for it then.. should I cancel, should I go armed with my whole portfolio? Should I go in there boldfaced and sit there like I own the bank.. and then smile confidently when he says NO and shake his hand with real freindship and wink him in the eye and march out proudly?? W ll he know he won and be pleased, or will he be worried and try to contact me again with a better offer..
er.. is this by the hour?

5. TheGreatWhiteBuffalo (1438) | 1 month ago | Phone rings,
Identification: Unavailable Phone number: Unavailable
Phone continues to ring,
Answering machine picks up unanswered phone,
Click...
Phone call was not important enough to leave a message???
Phone call was not important enough to pick up and answer!
I'm certain if someone had something important to say they would have said what was important enough for me to take seriously and deal with in a timely fashion.
Do you think if I don't play the lottery that I could win?

6. geminikid (1071) | 1 month ago | I have had many, and some I even wished would drop dead. A couple years ago I had put my phone number in the "Do not call" registry. That disables any chance of solocitors hounding you. Yet, they still somehow squeak by. Very frustrating, I must say
| |
| |
|
|
sparkofinsanity (3446) | 1 month ago | I get more phone calls from people I DIDN'T give my number to. Thank heavens for voice mail and the delete button. lol I can't unlist my number though because of my husband's business, so I just have to stay disciplined and let voice mail pick up the crap.............

|
sparkofinsanity (3446) | 4 weeks ago | I have call display too, though I usually just ignore the phone as it doesn't ring all that often, but yesterday it just wouldn't stop and I finally just grabbed it.............probably to strangle it, but got sidetracked by the fog horn sound. lol

9. KrazyKlingon (3171) | 1 month ago | Well - not knowing the individual telemarker's circumstances can be tough to know whether or not I feel bad for them. If it's the only work that this person was able to find, & had to support a family somehow, I would hope that they are at least trying to find something better, or maybe something better finds them.

10. savypat (7596) | 4 weeks ago | I have a lot of sympathy for those cold callers, I know that they are just trying to make a living so I don't tease or play with them that waste their time from what might be a live wire on the next call. We have a way to get out of receiving most of those types of calls Thank God.
| |
| |
|
|
sparkofinsanity (3446) | 4 weeks ago | I understand they are just trying to make a living too, but I wouldn't let my kids off the hook if they weren't hearing what I was saying to them, and as these callers are adults, they really should know better.........
