Both free (ha!) - if I just sign up to such-and-such a contract. Sure buddy, no problem. <BR/>If they call at home they always ask for Laurie as everything's in his name. We always say "sure, I'll just go get him" and walk away, leaving them hanging on for as long as it takes for them to hang up.<BR/>The worst ones are the recorded messages 'cos you can't be rude to a recording!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423616016399334179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3613512.post-7313139169492907362007-05-03T07:43:00.000-04:002007-05-03T07:43:00.000-04:00Julie: that's very annoying to have them call you ...Julie: that's very annoying to have them call you at work.<BR/><BR/>Shirl: Great idea! I may tell Mother to use that one. Myself, I've not had much of a problem being rude to those who come calling unannounced. =) Shock, I know.<BR/>But that is part of the problem here where she lives. The houses aren't very far apart from each other and pretty much line up around 3 large blocks, so the solicitors get more bang for their buck.

When they call back and ask for Zeke, we tell them we have no Zeke. We're bad.<BR/><BR/>I don't get door-to-door out here in the country.

I get 3, 4, sometimes more calls a day here at the bookshop. Pains in the arse!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423616016399334179noreply@blogger.com
