I keep getting random calls from orange shops around the country as the exs old phone number has expired, after paying for it for 12 months to sit on the shelf so a touchy subject, I deal with orange direct but this one shop somewhere in Ireland or somewhere decided that I needed a new phone because it had expired. So first call I explained why didn't need that number, second I asked them never to call again. Third I was busy in a trench cold and wet and stressing phone goes struggle to get my gloves off to answer it to be the same guy from the orange shop. I must have ranted at him for a good 2 mins that would have made a sailor blush. They haven't called back haha

Carphone Warehouse was calling me upwards up of 5 times a day on the run up to Christmas, wanting me to upgrade.

Not so helpful when I was on callout for the snow. Phone going every half hour til 10 o clock at night.

Got called out at 3.30am, and was still at work at 12pm, just got into bed to sleep, and the phone goes again.

Needless to say, I wasn't pleased, and they haven't called back since (partly cos the phone is buried in the sock drawer, while my new iphone is taking pride of place in my pocket.


Another thing, I had about 5 calls from a garage saying I should book my car in for MOT, It's well overdue etc etc. They were quite surprised to hear, that two weeks after it had been in their garage, the engine casing split, and since I scrapped it, and bought a new Ibiza, I have no need for MOT for at least another 2 years

I've tried repeatedly to get British Frigging Gas off my back. I've had more or less the same conversation with them as your man on the YouTube, and still they call. I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, but BG claim that, as an ex-customer, there is a commercial relationship between us and they are entitled to call, even though I'm an ex-customer because they are the crappest energy company I've ever had to misfortune to use.

I even told their 'customer relations' advisor, that if BG were the only gas company on the planet, I'd make my house all electric just so I didn't have to do business with a bunch of Olympic standard masturbators, and *still* they call.

I contacted the TPS yet again and asked them to get BG to admit that, as it's been 7 years since I last had any business with their rip-off company, to claim there is an ongoing commercial relationship is stretching the truth to the point of fantasy. The more they pester, the more resolved I become never to fall into their evil clutches ever again.

As of last October, they finally seem to have realised that they've not to call Mr McCormack, so they've started asking for Mrs Taz when they call! How can anyone with a quarter of a brain cell possibly think this sales tactic could ever succeed?

Thats a classic...been about a few years now MSH

[rab1]

That was really funny

[henpecked]

Yes ,its a good one, think ive posted it on here before ,but its just as funny as the first time.
I like the bit with the '....cute little Mexican midget' the best

[rab1]

just watched/listened again and its still funny.

I usually give them a couple of minutes before I politely tell them I am not interested.

If I get some one who is really pushy and getting on my wick I will politely ask them:

"Does your phone do this?" and then hang up. It always amuses me

[Tommy]

I like the old... 'Sorry, 1 second' Phone goes on the table, I'm sitting in the other room

[lutonlagerlout]

as soon as some f**kwit comes on the line and asks me, if i am me then i just hang up.
some guy was chapping my front door the other week
i looked through the glass,noted his suit and clipboard and just walked back in and sat down
I dont really do uninvited calls or guests

that tom mabe was hilarious,a builder and a plumber i know did a similar thing to a security guard in a b and q they were both wearing crombie type coats and the guard asked them what they were doing,quick as a flash "sharkie" flashed some ID and said "murder squad"
of course he knew that all security guards are wannabe coppers and so they had this guy doing all sorts of crime scene stuff for them,looking for murder weapons, etc etc
when you get someone who is quick-witted like that the comedy can be endless
I was in a posh restaurant before xmas and got sick of being asked " Is everything ok?"
in the end the manageress asked so i said "no, not really"
she enquired what the problem was and I said "not enough sex" :;):
they stopped asking after that
