Cold calling

#1 Post by MartDude » Sun May 15, 2011 3:34 pm

Copied this from a friend's facebook thingy. Thought it rather amusing; might give it a try

"Have just been told something amazing!!! When someone rings you trying to sell you something from India called 'Jack' .. Say to them , 'so what underwear
you wearing' it throws them off and they hang up!"
It flies sideways through time

Or you could register with the telephone preference service. I do miss the chance to abuse and confuse sundry phone droids though...

Aye, you'll still get the ones that are small enough to slip under the net and the utter cowboys. Cut it down a hell of a lot for me though.

They're not going to turn away customers, any more than Royal Mail do. :smt002
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

My postman is a ninja. Never see him or hear him but he leaves these cards that say-

We didn't deliver your box because

looked heavy
you have a frightening cat
couldn't get the tape to stick back on after having a mooch
we're being eco-friendly , get it yourself

And at the times we are open there will be a bloody great queue!

You also missed the one that goes, 'I couldn't knock because I have a sore hand but it didn't look like there was anyone in even though there were 2 cars and a motorcycle in the drive, and the sound of children coming from your garden, and your neighbour said you were definitely in, but you know what? I couldn't be arsed so tough.'

Always makes me giggle does THAT one. :smt013
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?
