Oh dear, I seem to have just upset the nice young lady in the call centre.. What a shame.

All I did was point out it wasn’t convenient for me to talk right now so perhaps she could give me her phone number so I could call back later?

When she declined I asked why not as I’d much rather call her back at home when it was more convenient for me – say 1am or something?

Apparently she thought that was a bit unreasonable, so of course I then asked why she had a problem with me calling her at home later and yet thought it was ok to call me any time she liked. I suggested that if she didn’t in fact thnk it was reasonable then perhaps she should FUCK RIGHT OFF AND STOP CALLING ME.


For some reason she put the phone down on me. How rude!
Edit – there’s odd then, somehow I managed to lose the latter half of my post…

Suffice to say, that was just about the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve had about 20+ sales, silent or recorded message calls in the last week and so I decided to order myself one TrueCall gadgets they had on Dragon’s Den last year.
It was one of the best DD’s in ages, the Dragon’s loved it and there was quite a little bidding war over it. In the end the guy did a deal with peter Jones who reckoned “It’s the best invention I’ve seen in 7 series’ of Dragons’ Den”

I figure that’s good enough for me so I did a quick shop-around and Amazon had them for £69 and I can get it tomorrow morning with Prime. Fingers crossed it will make life a little more pleasant, and hey, I’m a geek – I’ve got to go for the most hi-tech solution, right?
