You know what really chafes me? (Rated M)

[Haku]

Bloody tele-marketers calling my cellphone at 2200 (10 p.m.)!! And when I bloody well politely ask the lady at the other end of the line "Ma'am how can I get my number removed from your calling list?" then the rump spanking spelunking anus explorer hangs up on me

Start using cellphones

Never had a random call like that with the cellphone.

[Haku]

That is the problem it IS my cellphone....

[djfabiokk]

wow that would annoy the shit out of me.

You have no idea.....

Where was the caller from? Pretty rude of her to just hang up.

I have a secret in that I used to be a telemarketer. And the most frustrating thing is when someone plays along with you. They go along for at least a minute or two and drag it out and then say, nope and hang up. I used to hate that waste of my time.

Now I do it every time they call me. Some bastard with his shitty minimum wage job has the nerve to call me so I spend at least a minute of effort to waste his time. The satisfaction involved is great because I know how much it pisses telemarketers off, especially if you can get their hopes up a little by pretending to sound interested in the crap they are selling.

All I ever get is:
"VOOOOOOOOOM
You've won a free cruise-"
Hang up.

[Blxz]

But...you really did win.







You only needed to send me $100 to aid in processing your claim and I would have sent the voucher through.

Let em go through some of their speech, then ask them if they want to buy your product.(Followed by a long bs speech)

[Haku]

That's if I can stand to listen to the recording drone on for another 5 minutes then hold for another 5 minutes while they ignore me before I'm connected lol

[toaster Assassin]

Is it AT&T that keeps calling you by chance? By the way you described it sounds like their handy work.

[Haku]

"Card Services" Is how they identify themselves, However I have never had this problem before i switched *Drumroll* to AT&T. I swear they sell my cellphone number to everyone.

[toaster Assassin]

Ha! AT&T is so messed up. Once their web-page was hacked,so I called them to warn them. They responded by sending me to five people......and then the last guy just hung up.

[Haku]

Sounds like the customer support I deal with when its not a recording.

[toaster Assassin]

AT&Ts people are so stupid, that even the automated service (which sucks @$$) is more of a blessing. Who are these people and how do they even get these jobs?

[Haku]

The ones I talk to are in India.....And can't connect me to an American I can understand....and yes I prefer using my computer to deal with phone problems with these people. Seriously thinking of getting something other than an iPhone...

[toaster Assassin]

If it is an unlocked apple product, watch out when updating. (It can brick your phone)

[Haku]

I never unlocked it and I don't believe it was jail broken when I got it from AT&T so.

[toaster Assassin]

Then all is well. I use an unlocked N900 with AT&T. (Pay-as-you go plan cause i'm cheap)

[Diruk]

I'm using T-Mobile.... believe me, the early days of the ring tone were so annoying and too obvious for anyone listening.

But surprisingly, I don't have any complaints of it yet.
I remember back in Germany, that they had a monopoly on the cell phone service, don't know if it is still ongoing.
