cold calls fun!

Everyday living

Hi, like everyone I get totally peed off with cold calls. They always seem to happen at the most inconvenient times…Im on the loo, Im transferring…I`m watching a soap…

I get so irate about them. They are a public nuisance. i`m sure you all agree with me.

Yes, I know little Johnny, with a strong foreign accent, has to earn a living somehow, but i wish they would communicate with each other, as we often get the same call many times a week…have we got loft insulation?..have we injured ourselves in the last 3 years…well ask any MSer and they can probably reel off at leat 20 of those, eh?

So Ive found a new way to answer them and its fun!!!

When they ask if Mr or Mrs So and So is there, I say in a really daft voice, No, all gone, not here. If they press for more information, I continue with, Dont know what you mean.` I say all this like a 3 yr old wood.

What do they say? Well they either hang up or say, Ok, never mind Goodbye

This ends up with me laughing and feeling proper daft instead of fuming and cursing.

Try it, yeh?

luv Pollxx

i’m always being informed that we have an entitlement to cavity wall insulation. we don’t have cavities in our walls.

if i’m feeling kindly, i tell them

if i’m feeling nasty, i let rip good style

the worst one for me is charities ringing to ask for a donation. feel bad saying no but no longer working and have to draw the line somewhere. one particular charity caller was very persistent so i told him that i understand the hardship that disablility brings because i have one of my own. thought maybe he’d have a whiprounds for me!
