One of THOSE calls.
|
One of THOSE calls. The other day I was chatting to a friend, when the house phone rang. I've got to have a landline to access the internet. Against my better judgement I answered it, only to get that long pause before someone says anything. Straight away I knew it was probably coming from India, I was so annoyed, I told them to fuck off and hung up. Less than a minute later it rings again, so silly me answers it, only to be asked why I told them to fuck off. Well I let rip, I'm so fed up with these calls. I did ask what he was trying to sell me, and was told...condoms. Well that's a new one. Told him I had no need for them, then the shit asked me why, and was I not married. Told him it was none of his business, a few more swear words and hung up on him again. I'm going to buy a whistle, maybe when I start deafening a few of them, they'll put me on the do not call register. I am on one here, but it must not work for overseas?? |

I get the same thing here on my landline always it seems around dinner time! Me it's not condoms but Viagra... Here I have a message machine and if it's a friend I can call them right back if it's a telemarketer the computer hangs up automatically and goes on to some other limp victim!   my friend!Your hugs are always welcome. Here's one for you.

I think I will have to re-register. A couple of weeks ago, I had a call from the Federal Fraud Squad (yeah right) telling me that money had been stolen out of my account. I didn't even bank with that bank. Then less than an hour later, another call, this time from Telstra saying my computer had been hacked, they aren't even my provider.  Scammers on here can be a bit of fun if you can be bothered stringing them along, but the constant phone calls is another thing.

why don't you let your secretary deal with the salesmen?..when you know it's a sales call, simply hand the phone to Roy...they'll pay for the air time and you'll have a smile...don't forget to take pics for us. we get computer generated calls here..i pick up but don't say anything...after 20 seconds or so, they hang up...if you don't say anything, nothing happens..or that's what happens for me anyways. had a friend hand up on a salesman and he phoned right back and asked,why did you hang up on me?...with a bit of attitude too...so she replied, cause it's MY phone...click as for the whistle...what if it's a masochist on the other end?..they'll keep calling back wanting more...

My phone is ex directory and only a handful of people have the number. I have them all programmed in and I don't answer it unless I recognise the caller....not since I had a mighty row with a fella from India pretending he was from Microsoft. ~~Anais Nin~~

Must try and find out what the number is you put in while they are on the phone, as it takes you off their call list.

Nearly all the calls are from India. I saw a show on TV where they train the callers. Seems like Australians are the rudest people to call. The answer........................ stop calling us.

It just sucks.. hugssssssssssss V  I shouldn't answer it, as most of my friends call my mobile, but there are a few that call the house phone. I should tell them to text me first to say they are calling, then I know it's safe to answer.

 That was me McMaree, I was just phoning for a wee blether, I'd have sent ye the johnnies for nowt............Those calls are a total pain in the arse, and they seem to come to us all despite being on the telephone preference list which should prevent them. Having said that, I like the boy's style, I reckon he was taking the piss...........

Condoms/ That's a new one. But these days I never stop to listen to their scams. After tearing from the garden covered in muck when the phone rings these days, as soon as I detect the VOIP sound I simply tell them "sorry you got the wrong number, try the right number". But the crazy thing is that you have to pay not to be listed in the directory. Surely it should be the other way around. But then even though I now pay not to appear in the directory, I still get the blokes calling me by name (or as close as they can pronounce it). Sir Teezalot WAR IS ABSURD

Maybe the guy just said condoms because I told him to eff off. I have heard that even if you are ex directory, they can still get your number, and I agree, you shouldn't have to pay for being ex directory.

Selling condoms over phone is a new one. That is a strange conversation, too. That is too funny... Cum to my blog and respond.  Have a great kissing fun time.

OMG!!!! I get a few of these, but I have never had that one!!!!! I hate to be rude, it makes me feel awful, so I normally politely tell them I am very happy with my financial arrangements, or my windows and doors, or my insurance or whatever, and that I also never take part in any surveys or questionnaires over the phone, and normally they take no for an answer and move on. I do get a bit narked when they start telling me my accident claim has come through, or that the warranty on my washing machine is due for renewal. Heaven knows what I would have said if I was asked about condoms. Was it a man? If it was a woman I might be tempted to say "only if you bring them round and help me make a start on using them up." Only then they might say okay I suppose.......Be careful what you wish for Dreamer.

I never used to be rude to them, but I'm so fed up with the calls, I had to tell this one where to go. I will do questionnaires, over the phone depending when they call and how long they will take.

That's a much nicer thing to do than use the whistle I picked up the other day.
