I hope everyone is ok as can be.
I hate cold calls so much and when they are as dumb as this one I just wanted to scream 
I got a call from someone trying to sell life insurance and they said they do cover people with MS but RRMS, then I said I have secondary and he said ah OK I will call you back in two years to see if you go back to RRMS.
I just thought hahahaha I wish
Oh dear!
We have recently treated ourselves to a set of BT 6500 nuisance call-blocking phones and they are just great. You can set them to just not ring at all for international out of area and withheld number calls. They drop automatically into voicemail, so if it is a genuine caller, they can leave you a message. Wonderful invention. It snares several a day (it shows how many, which is strangely satisfying) and that is despite our having been registered with TPS for years. A good investment - I recommend them.

Iâm registered with TPS too but I still get the odd cold call. I had one the other day which began with
âYou recently completed a survey and requested a quotation for life insurance âŚâ
Me: âI donât think soâ.
Her: âIt may have been a little while ago so you might have forgottenâ
Me: âNo, I definitely wouldnât have requested a quotation for life insurance as I have a condition which means your premiums will be heavily weightedâ
Her: âUmmmâŚâ
Me: âGoodbyeâ and I hung up.
They will really have to try harder!!

Why do these people always ring just as we are about to eat? so many times we have just sat down for dinner and the phone rings.
Play them at their own game - my aunt lives in a flat up many flights of stairs. fed up with conservatory companies calling she invited one to come and give a quote. When they arrived they were not impressed to have a wasted visit my aunt just replied âyou waste my time I waste yoursâ. Hasnât been troubled since!
Ha ha, love it Dinks!
I have a friend who puts on a country bumpkin accent and asks them to repeat everything. Then says the person they want is at the bottom of the garden, lays the phone down and potters off for about 10 minutes. Oddly enough, when he comes back they have hung up âŚ

I friend of ours deals with cold calls by asking them straight off whether he can ask them a question. They say yes. He says, âWhat are you wearing?â End of nuisance.

Hi folks just had 1 from india or such like trying to get details of my PC unfortunately i dont tolerate these folks very well and lets just say if they record calls it would make an interesting training call lol
Just please be careful and dont give them anything
respect sheep
We love the ones about Windows PCs in our house. I pass them onto my son who rolls around the floor laughing until they hang up. You see, he is a huge fan of Macs and doesnât have anything else so it would be pretty hard for him to have a virus on his Windows PC. Sometimes if they donât get the hint at the laughter, he tells them he has a Mac (well several).

Oh dear
it seems Iâm not as polite as Iâd like to think, when I get unwanted calls about insurance etc I just start singing loudly down the phone. For some reason my impression of opera doesnât seem to go down too well!
My Uncle was so fed up of a double glazing firm ringing he took the manâs number and said he would ring him back when it was more conenient. My uncle works nights and rang the chap on break at three in the morning- he wasnât impressed!!
