SplendidSeekerOfMatferon6 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I just had a rather amusing (for me) talk with some telesales person. They had called before, the same company and I think the same person, and I politely told them at that time that I wasn't interested and not to call me again and take my number off their list. Anyway, of course they didn't do that and I got the call again. After they got past their first intro line I decided to have a bit of fun. After all it is Sunday and I'm slobbing out with some movies and basically not doing much. So I ask them a few questions: - it's Sunday, why are you calling me at home? - would you like it if I called you at home? - why didn't you take my number off the list? - is it demoralising doing telesales work when people get angry like this? Poor woman got a bit flustered, but didn't do too bad actually, sticking to the official line and all. I had a bit of fun though, bad me. Link to post Share on other sites

sakebomb 0 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I always like to ask for their home number so I can call them back at a more convenient time. Bit of a conversation killer but it can also lead to so great debates (well arguements actually). Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Id think speakin like a Yakuza would get rid of em real quick I have a problem right now with my students calling my cell phone (dont have a house line) and also doing ping-pong dash. ringing my door bell and then running away Though compared with the shite we did in jhs and hs in the US its pretty tame and lame... If I ever catch the ****ers who are ringing my door bell late at night Ill chop off their ballz Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 at least they haven't graduated to the burning bag of sh!t ping pong dash I used to have a crank caller on the house line when I was a jet. Never found out who it was though Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I was down there last time with Bushy when we pranked you CB It was so funny watching you come running out of your apartment with the gag ball in your mouth and wearing the crotchless panties Link to post Share on other sites

Ahhh, knock and runs! So how do your students have your address and phone number anyway? Did the school put it in the school magazine? My old high school did that. How dumb. If we had our teachers address and ph numbers in school, we would have gotten in more trouble than we did! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 or the one you and Taz did to "Crash" after coming back from Hamada mate! Indo, its in the public directory at school. I complain every year but they never leave it out as students always like to send cards at New Years Granted, Ive averaged about 80-100 each year... Link to post Share on other sites
