Do you find it annoying when you constantly have people ringing you up trying to sell stuff? I do.

Just got off the phone from a scary man trying to sell me windows.

It went from one thing to another. He offered me a job because I have a good phone manner!! Wahoo.
He scared me though.

Sounds pretty simple and dumb, but he was asking questions like, are you gonna be in tomorrow? Are you parents? Does you mum have a partner? Are they together? Do you have a partner? Are you courting?

Now, does a stranger on the other side of the phone, do that?!
*sigh*

I could hardly understand him most of the time, he talked SO fast. Got embarassing when I had to keep saying, "Huh?", "What?", "Eh?!".

Maybe I'm just a little paranoid, thats all!
Damn phone companies.

It was inevitable, be glad it was someone like me. A docile protaganist (I don't know what it means either!)

Nope we never get phone calls of people selling stuff...
But we get a few people comming round and knocking on the door, usually selling windows, signing up with a new electric companey, asylem seekers (or however it is spelled).
The worse one is when this kid about 20-25 came knocking on the door asking if we wanted windows, i said NO, so he replied "go get an adult please" so i got my dad (quite scary), my dad walked straight to the door and said "no thankyou" and just closed the door straight away. But the sales man pushed the door back open and my dad said "you touch my door again and ill be after you" or something along the lines of that.
anyway my dad SLAMMED the door this time, but the foolish kid again pushed the door open...
The expression on the kids face when my dad started chasing him and swearing at him... It was priceless, although it is weird that we have never had a salesman from that company again...

Aww poor you. I kept getting a call from a man trying to sell me timeshare and it was THE most annoying thing ever. He kept ringing back saying, "Hello can I interest you in time share" I kepy saying "no" and he kept ringing. I then swore a lot and get got very offended but rung back to tell me "He could keep doing this all night" I then connected to the internet and he got the BT answer 1571 service lady, haha!
