Fricking winds me right up when they phone me, or on the rare occassion I have to ring them.

Basic mistakes like thinking your last name is your first name and all the time reading a script on the pc screen infront of them.

On this note I cant stand sales calls in work, so much so I give them the 'Penny for the guy' response.

No, fuck off.

And all at a premium rate, lasting more than ten minutes just to speak to someone pretending to be called Kevin or Sharon, asking you about last nights East-bloody-Enders episode !

One told me, in a thick Indian accent, that his name was John.

I actually caught myself saying "Really!?!"

I love it when they call me, I will keep them on the phone for as long as I can. No intention of buying anything or giving them any real information either. If they are going to ring my private number uninvited, then they can expect to have their time wasted. Repeat everything they say in a slightly higher register, try to get them to come round for sex, say beep every third word. Knock yourselves out, just remember that this call may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes.

I work in a call centre and hate it when I have to ring our IT helpdesk in manilla!!!!!

They are scripted to the point of ridiculousness and will not deviate from that script even if your call in unrelated!!!!

They also have no concept of the different systems we use, what good is that when you only ring service desk when the systems don't work

Telephone Preference Service - TPS - doesn't stop them all but at least 95 % I reckon

I have been having the same problem with British Telecom for the last 3 days - keep telling them we can't receive incoming calls, they say we will call you back!!! finally went through the business reporting line (although residential) spoke to an ENGLISH peson who put me in direct contact with the right person and hey presto 3 days and 3 hrs after first reporting the problem it's been fixed. If only yhey had listened in the first place or maybe they listened but didn't understand my slant on the english language.

They rang me. I am ex directory and will not tolerate people cold calling. I have a sign on the door saying no salesmen or hawkers, but they ignore that and seem quite put out when I alert them to the fact. If you are going to use nefarious methods to get my (unlisted) number and waste my time, the can expect the same to happen to them.

Saw on the news a couple if days ago about a guy who was on the 'no call' list, but a company kept calling him. He told them that he was going to bill them for HIS time, but they still called back. He sent them an invoice for £195 they ignored him (obviously), so he took them through the small claims court. They paid him the money before it went to court!

Register with the correct service, inform them you will charge for your time, record your calls and fuck them over!

Really made me chuckle!

BT, Orange and Sky are the worst I think. Ages to get through to a human then put on hold for ages etc.

I try never to be rude to people as it's just their job, it's not their fault the companies they work for are crap. In fact I usually chat to them in a nice way as I know it's likely that every other call they had was from someone irate. Unless they are useless/ rude, and then I'm just polite throufh gritted teeth.

I don't usually get cold calls but when I do I just say really sorry I can't talk now. They just put random numbers in and will eventually call every number combination.

I would not take a job that involved stopping people in the street and mithering them because I am aware it gets on peoples tits. "Just doing their job" is NOT a defence. The Gestapo were only doing their job. It is a job that someone doesn't need to be doing.
