Title: What get's on yer Goat ?
Post by: Daveravey on December 14, 2010, 02:01:41 pm
Don't you just hate it when the phone rings as your heading out the door, you run back to answer, tripping over  the dug & kids etc, only for the muppets to hang up when you answer ?

This has happened to me 7 times today so far   >:(

Try 1471 & they've witheld their number..... what's all that about   ??? ???

I usualy take the piss with them.... " hello hello, can't quite hear you" in as broad a Peterhead accent as i can... works a treat. Or "Hello, war office, are you looking for a fight ?"

We're ex directory now, so don't get many these days, which is a shame   :D

Here it tends to be people who cold call and check the TPR while they dial at random - hang up in the "oops" moment - I hope  - not robbers!!! :&>

I keep getting companies phoning me asking how I cope with my debts!  I don't have any debts, I don't even have any money to spend most of the time so I'm hardly likely to have any debts - lets face it, the banks will only lend you money if you've already got some to start with -  and if I did have debts I'd sort them out myself.  I even got a text message to my mobile asking me to 'call this number urgently as we need to speak to you about your debts!! These people are so low.  All this to get a bit of business.  Well not from me - I've stopped answering the phone unless I recognise the number.  Oh yes, BT!! Nearly forgot about them.  They phone me up trying to sell me stuff at the most inopportune times - 6pm or thereabouts is normal for them - just as I'm dishing up the kids dinner. Makes me so MAD!

they usually call at teatime and then they are  nuisance calls  ::)
but I remember the ad for tea I thought was a great idea - play a musical toy and then say "your call is important to us, please hold" ;D ;D ;D

Something that's got to me today ....

Fife Schools have entered into the education "Glow" scheme for snow days, gave all the P3 & above their usernames but ommitted to give them passwords, so the bairns can't get onto the site.

Wonder who's bright idea that was   ??? ???
