Bluecollar 1st Gear October 3, 2008 Share October 3, 2008 (edited) Sometimes you come across great offers/promotions that you might be interested in.... Sometimes, when i'm bored, i entertain them by listening for a while....a bonus if the telemarketeer sounds sweet... Afterall, they are also trying to make a living... Ya Ya.... though I agree..... I think most may have experience when you are overseas and these calls comes in. Especially when there is a time difference and you are trying to get some sleep. I understand they are making a living as well but it is very irritating.... I am also trying to make a living as well....

Sometimes, when i'm bored, i entertain them by listening for a while....a bonus if the telemarketeer sounds sweet... Afterall, they are also trying to make a living... Actually quite a number these days sound like school kids. I think they are trying to make extra pocket money rather then earning a living. Moreover there are some crap SMSes that claim you have won holiday to xxxxx. Nuisance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redplanet Clutched October 3, 2008 Share October 3, 2008 There was once a call came thru my home tel(fixed line), a lady specifically asked for my wife(???) and then proceeded to hard sell pots & pans(literally)... Another time, during the night, a man called and immediately asked for "the decision maker of the house"...I was like, huh??? I asked him what he meant and he said " I want to speak to the decision maker, can you make the decision for this house?" "What decision?" "Decision to sell this house... I've got many buyers waiting." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony 1st Gear October 3, 2008 Share October 3, 2008 My worst experience was one whose call I answered while overseas. She greeted and started rambling away without giving me a chance to say anything. I had no choice but to interrupt her after a while, saying:"I am overseas right now and no thanks." Her response:" But I'm not finished yet!" They have to finish the script... otherwise, they wouldn't know what to say thereafter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
