I hate Telemarketers

[callistra]

So, today, when Centurian rang AGAIN, I said "Please will you GET ME OFF THIS FUCKING LIST?????" in the vague hope that this time, unlike the last four times, they would actually act and get me off the fucking list. She hung up on me.

Fine. I jump online, and look up the yellowpages. There's only one Centurion roofs in there. So I ring them and go off at them for a while too, telling them how I feel HOUNDED and I'm really starting to get Pissed Off about the whole thing, and then she asks for my contact details to get me off the database, and I said why, you've already got them, keep whining and crying for a bit before eventually I relent and give them my phone number.

Long story short, I also said that if they ring again, I will come out and cry on them in person. I think I should never hear from them ever again.

Finally.

I used to have the same problem with the Modern Group. If it wasn't roller shutters, it would be home security, roof restoration or whatever other service they offer. They were obviously targetting houses in my area (in Perth) as I'd get a phone call or a cold caller at the door about once every 3 weeks. They stopped calling once I mentioned harassment :)
