Sales People

[Manoj]

Don't you just hate the bloody Sales people who ring your house, and ask you if you wanna buy stuff?

Now they're so bad, that if you say your parents aren't in they ask if you're a family member, FFS, we have like 6 mobiles in my house and we only have 4 people, why do they keep phoning everyday to ask if we want more?

They drive me so f**king mad! haha

I used to get a text or 2 a day trying to sell me stuff aswell. Sooo annoying. And it went on for ages until oneday I actually read it and it said "to stop these messages text STOP to (whatever the number was)" haha but it got rid of them at last!

[Manoj]

Lol, I used to get one from a Dog, I didn't know how to stop it, it just stopped texting, maybe it died

Last year, we used to get calls from the same sales person at the same time every single day. It got to the point where he had phoned so often that he knew our voices and could tell which of us had answered the phone. It was really creepy actually.

You can stop them phoning by registering with the Telephone Preference Service, and that gets your details removed from the lists used by most cold caller agencies. You may still get the odd one ploughing through the phone book, but mention that your registred with the TPS, and they shouldn't be calling you, and they can't get off the phone quick enough.

[Kirsty]

We are registered but it hasn't made much difference.

[Manoj]

Ooooh I am going to say that next time, thanks Andi.

You know, some fucker called me up and asked is someone there (he said a name and the person never lived here, was a sales person) I said you got the wrong number...he said "Are you sure?" I was like Yeah. Fucking twat, the cheek, he then told me IS THIS YOUR NUMBER and read it out, I was like that's not my number, he was like are you sure?

I hung up on the fanny!

[Kirsty]

Yeah, we've had that before too.

[Manoj]

I hope they get calls like that when they're at home, so they know what it feels like
