Tell me what you really think.
I HATE those calls. I really hope you told them to come get the cancelled check and they'll find it nailed to the door. THAT is an excellent come back!
That's my second biggest pet peeve, the first is people who try to pass on cruise control. Step on the gas a little bit and get by, and then move on with life.
Is that what those people are calling about? I've always hung up before they got that far.
Actual businesses (in business to do things other than scams) employ people to do this?
"...instant withdrawal from your checking account..."??
I hate those calls too but the ones I REALLY hate are the ones when you have to call to straighten out an account only to find that the company you do business with has shipped their call center overseas. It's no surprise the accounts are a mess, these people can't understand English and I can't understand their thickly accented impression of English.
Why would a company who has an English speaking customer base move their call center to a place where their customers will have to deal with people they can't understand and can't understand them. Oh, yeah, money. What was I thinking? Maybe they should try thinking about customer service and customer satisfaction to see if that might help their bottom line. Idiots.
Thanks for inspiring me to get that one out of my system.
Or what about when you have called the company about the payment, they've entered into the computer as to the day it will be made BUT they continue to call even when they are looking at the screen with the exact information you've already provided.
I like to mention my father, the lawyer or my brother, the judge...all lies, of course, but a girls gotta have some fun with these poop bags, right?
And THAT is why our calls are screened.
OHHHHHHH... Yeah, HELL NO. You don't call MY house and tell ME TO HOLD. (is that a new thing they do and whose freaking idea was THAT?)
It's like calling my house and saying "who is this?"
Uh, you called me, You tell me who you are mother effer.
Wait, you mean I'm not the only person they're calling?
Damn, now I feel cheated, too!
-G
I think it is illegal to call before 9 am and after 9 pm...next time, wait it out until a human comes on and tell them to remove you from their list or you will press charges! They have to do it ...Bastards.
I don't even answer my home phone anymore. it's either telemarketers, bill collectors who think my name is gary, one small annoying child who thinks this is her daddys phone number, or work. None of these folks I particularly want to speak to, especially the ones who think I'm gary and keep insisting i pay off his credit card bill.
Those are AWFUL. Great blog though! Just found you!
So that's what they want. I've always hung up as soon as I heard the recording. It doesn't matter what time of day, if you can't call me in person, I don't have time to wait for you.
