Wow! I just got the rudest telemarketing call

[Hessah]

I was a telemarketer for about 6 months for a charity...

yeah its not easy.. in fact is really boring.. to repeat yourself over and over again.. then get hung up on over and over again...

or i get an old lady that says -very slowly- "ohh i'm very sorry, that's for a great cause, but i'm very poor myself, i would love to help, but i'm just a pensioner and.... .... .... .... "

oooookaaaaaaaaaaay... thank you...




@Hyper - i wasnt socialising with him

LOL! I've never heard of anyone talking with a telemarketer for that long!

Them: Hello, can I interest you in trying out _____________?

For me it's either:
"Stop calling."
"Call me again and I'll sue." (Usually gets them to hang up instantly.)
or
"Screw off. If I didn't want that product yesterday, what makes you think I'd want it today?"

One time I asked how it was in India, and that conversation lasted about 5 seconds...

Ah yes well, firstly its not my phone.. and i'm at work... and there's someone else there that can hear my conversation

so all in all, i need to sound polite... and i guess thats wat annoyed me too coz i'm nice to the telesales yet he's bloody rude to me!




LOL @ lvra's grandma! XD
