I know when random people ring up offering stuff can be pretty annoying, but perhaps this guy takes it a little too far....

Phone Call (contains swearing though!)

I don't even waste my energy on shouting at them .When they ask for me i just say "hang on ,i'll just get him" and then put the phone down.

Ahhhh bliss a perfectly measured response if you ask me. Few fuckers who phone us in work could do with the same treatment tho.

Don't fancy working somewhere where the call recorder just logs every word said into your headset all day rather than only calls.....talk about 1984 like. Then again, telesales people need mass extermination so I'm not too worried about their "human" rights.

Its getting well out of hand in our house..Up to a dozen a day sales phone calls! I'm always short,but polite with them,and always tell them to never phone again! There was only once when I decided to fuck about with them back,and asked for the salesperson's home number,because I was too busy to talk...He said "we don't take calls at home" I replyed "Now you know how I feel then Fucknut..now fuck off!"

The missus says its time we put some sort of block on them,we've had 2 in the last hour today,and everytime the phone goes you haf expect some cunt to say"You have won £2000 off a new kitchen Mr Brown" Cunts!

About a year ago i was getting home in the evening and there was about 10 sales calls messages each fcukin day.And they still tried calling me at night.

Got it sortetd by phoning the TPS (Telephone Preference System)- 0845 07 007 07 .24 HRS a day ,7 days a week.Automated service where you just register free of charge to stop the calls.

They soon stopped after that.Get the odd one or two soemtimes.But very ,very rare now :nod: :)

A PArt of our company does telesales (mainly banks and credit card cunts). They asked if I would like to do it cos I have the gift of the gab etc, and it's better money.....didn't even consider it for a nanosecond, would NEVER be able to look myself in the eye again.

Utter wankers. Deserve everything they get.

If you HAVE the free time, waste theirs, it'll get on their tits amazingly.....chat away to them, sound deeply interested, then find a way not to sign up after about 30-60 mins....you probably cost the bastard money AND a slabbering from his commandant.

I don't really blame the caller,because they have to earn a crust like anyone...But the telesales strategy in general wants its knackers ripped out!Fuckin nuisance wants outlawing..

I'll give that number a tinkle Johnny...Nice one

Just sorted the junk mail out from that link.Thanks !

Hopefully that will stop now.

Mind you. you'll never stop the likes of LIDL's ,NETTO and countless fast food places posting crap through the door.LIDL's and NETTO are always on a non stop campaign .

The fast food menus were handy at first but when the duplicates start piling up around the place it gets a bit much

i can always tell when there's somebody from a call center in india ringing me as there's at least a half second delay before they come online. i always tell them i'm not interested and hang up. still pisses me off though.

If i want to buy something, i buy it. On principle i would never buy from Telesales. Picture it, you're sat there watching the box, you get a call offering you new windows/conservatory/porch/roof/blah blah, you're not just going to suddenly decide you want one!

I phoned the TPS and now the calls are dwindling, I do still get them through. I do get annoyed because it's disturbing my 'me' time. I always tell the caller never to ring back (but the b*stards do!)

7 Jul 2006, 02:38

I never answer my house phone. It's only there because the line was free with the Broadband and the ringer is turned off.

You can sign up to the Telephone Preference Service Online too.

7 Jul 2006, 02:45

I've registered with the CPS and get less calls as a result. Still get quite a few though - and recently on my mobile too.

The cheeky fucks also leave an answerphone message if you're not in. My answerphone has pre-recorded messages in a few languages. I changed it to Italian and now I get no sales messages.

regsitered with TPS too.

and it put an end to the CPS too.

(i.e the chatting of pure shit by some Indian call centre)

Same here. The phone used to ring at 8.30pm nearly every fucking night then when you answered it there was no-one there. That really winds me up. :angry:
