What’s Irritating the Sh*t out of me!

Totally different than Upsetting – cause I’m not upset – I’m irritated, pissed, annoyed whatever works.

Telemarketers. We get calls constantly for free magazine subscriptions, pertaining to our field of work. But, before we renew your subscriptions can you please answer a few questions. Can you accept this “free subscriptions” for (“whoever”), yes. Because (“whoever”, I know, does not want to talk to these people). So I deal with it. Then they begin their questions, of about 10 – 15. Does it really matter what the answer is, if the magazine is “geared” to our field it would still be in the freakin’ magazine. And for the love of God, please speak to where I understand exactly what the crap your askin’.

What would happen if you said you do not want their "free" subscription? Does "whoever" read them or need them?

Yeah, I hate the "answer a few simple questions" and it turns into a marathon!

To be quite honest, they mostly stack up and gather dust. I don't even know what magazine it was - I couldn't understand half of what she was asking. Just alot of Yes, Yes, Yes - No, No, No. I swear even if I did say - "No we don't want it", they'd call back next week. It's Crazy.

lol...I can hear it now:

Caller: Can you answer a few simple questions for me?
Jester: Huh? Oh, yeah, sure I guess
Caller: Does your company blah blah blah?
Jester: Yes
Caller: Is your company in the blah blah blah?
Jester: No
Caller: Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Jester: No
Caller: Do you like gladiators?
Jester: Yes
Caller: Thank you for your time. Your subscription to Blah Blah will arrive in 6 to 8 weeks.
Jester: Huh?

Ahh, I thought it meant "fertilizer" or something. Kind of like the "weed" thing. Gotcha! Thanks!

SteveDallas · 11-13-2007, 10:55 AM

Indeed, LabRat... hence... irritating the shit out of me.

Shawnee123 · 11-13-2007, 10:56 AM

boy, I'm dense today!

jester · 11-13-2007, 10:58 AM

From what I've been told, unfortunately by the guys around here, it is irritating. Yuck

Jester...we already talked about this! It's time for you to make their life a nightmare!!!
Waste their time. They aren't going to quit calling. So have a little fun with it....

Shawnee123 · 11-13-2007, 11:04 AM

I like the way you think, Cic!

I know, I know. It's like this every freakin' week. If not the "this is AT&T, we just recently combined with "Bellsouth". What exactly is recent? They've been saying that for almost a year or longer. It's the Magazines companies or Pre-recorded calls - this is "whoever" with NSBA your "pre-approved" for a loan. Blah, Blah, Blah. I could always "adopt" someother kind of language or accent. Typically, I can catch them at the very beginning and say - I've already talked with someone and I'm not interested, thank you. "click"
