Ok.... - pre-recorded phone calls?

mckayleesmom replied: Oh..those annoy me more then the people....I always get the one that says "Hi, this is BOB"....you pause to think..who is bob?..Then it continues with "Im calling to talk about installing your direct tv".... blahblah.gif and you realize its a recording....BLAST THEM ALL growl.gif

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I get those allllllllllll the time...they even leave messages. I bet they get paid for the amount of calls they make, not on the actual sale. So it doesn't matter who listens or hangs up, they are just happy they got through I suppose. Pathetic. growl.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Ooh I've never gotten the direct tv one... sounds annoying. tongue.gif I hate getting those calls... and spam, and junk mail.... sheesh we just can't get away from it wherever we go. rolleyes.gif

redchief replied: Caller ID with security. We don't get any calls like that anymore.

MommyToAshley replied: Oh, I hate those. It's the worst around election time! I got a call from "Hillary" once. puke.gif LOL! We are even on the list to not receive unsolicited calls and we still get them.

Another thing that bothers me is that we give to a few charities each year. Apparently one of them sold our name to a list because EVERY charity in the world calls us several times a day. growl.gif While we do our part, we can't give to all of them. It just infuriates me that we try to do a good deed and then they turn around and sell our name to a list. I know all the charities are getting our name from the same list because they have our name wrong. And, charities aren't bound by the no-solicitation list.

I did that one time, I donated to a police & fire thing one time or something, this was years ago and every charity in the entire nation I think called me! I was getting calls on my cell left and right I was so irritated. I think that is so wrong.

Anyways, I hate pre-recorded calls or the ones that beep when you pick up and say please hold for an important message - growl.gif growl.gif mad.gif mad.gif

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I get those all the time at work. One of them says "This is not a solicitaion call, please call me back at this number" Yeah like that is ever going to happen!! wacko.gif

Insanemomof3 replied: The calls that I get all the time are "Hi. Please hold for an important message." THen you sit there forever waiting for someone to come on. I don't call people and put them on hold, why should they? RUDE.

mckayleesmom replied:
I made that mistake too thumb.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
ohmy.gif That's awful! What a nice way to thank you for giving to their charity. dry.gif
