Oooo yucky. *adds his phone number to the national do not call registry*

Helios_Skyraptor 03-15-2010 06:02 PM

Kitteh: D: I want the pokewalker! D: !!!!

I keep getting calls from a telemarketer who tells me it their job to walk me through the information even AFTER I tell I'm not interested.

If they call again I'm going to just hit numbers...

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:03 PM

Yeah, well we're a fundraiser so we're exempt from that list. Blah blah blah. I hate my job, I really do.

We are required to get two no's, before we're allowed to hang-up.

llonka 03-15-2010 06:04 PM

really two no's?? no wonder they keep talking and talking! next i'll be like " no no!" think that'll work!! :XD

Imagination 03-15-2010 06:06 PM

Haha...2 no's eh? I had a debt collecter call me last night and ask to talk to me about a "personal business matter". I laughed and hung up. xD

Hate to be a nag but can I get my egg things clicked by you guys? :D

Helios_Skyraptor 03-15-2010 06:08 PM

Well, a chairty is different. I would actually listen to them. I don't even know how these one telemarkters got my number. I looked it up online and alot of people got them calling them after putting up a job application. D: These people who call me are just harassers and aren't operating within the law.

Imagination 03-15-2010 06:09 PM

Yeah...I know how that goes. Too many business's sell your contact information online to telemarketers...its bullshit =/

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:10 PM

Most phone numbers and address are public information, since there is the phone book, and everything else.

I really hate my job because I'm supposed to get donations, or pledges, or whatever, and I need to get so many a night, or they'll fire me. And it's like... if I get a bunch of people that don't want to give, there is nothing I can do. They try and say it isn't luck, but it generally is 90% luck, 10% skill. They don't care... I really want to quit.

Helios_Skyraptor 03-15-2010 06:11 PM

My number is on the do not call list. D: But I still get calls.

Kitteh: D: I would hate to have that job. I wouldn't last the whole day. I have bad phone skills. ; 3; And how it now, no one wants to give money.


I clicked on them, Imagination!

Imagination 03-15-2010 06:12 PM

Thank you Helios :hug: I can't wait until they change shape and grow :eager:

Kitteh your job really does suck xD I'm sorry :(

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:14 PM

The do not call list is a sham, ya'll. Seriously, one, not everyone gets that list, two, fundraisers are generally exempt, etc etc. Best bet? Don't have a house phone, just a cellphone. That's what we do, and it used to be (may have changed recently) that it was illegal to call cellphones.

llonka 03-15-2010 06:14 PM

brb hubby is home...

Imagination 03-15-2010 06:15 PM

I have plenty of people that call my cell phone. If I don't know the number I don't answer. My house phone doesnt get used a whole lot unless I have an outgoing call I need to make xD

Helios_Skyraptor 03-15-2010 06:16 PM

Kitteh, they call me on my cellphone. We don't have a housephone at all. ; 3;

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:17 PM

I've never gotten a call on my cellphone.

I don't know how it is most places, but if someone says the phrase "Put me on your do not call list", we say alright, hang up, mark it do not call, and that is the end of it, no pitching or pushing, and they never get called back from us, not even the next year.

Imagination 03-15-2010 06:18 PM

I have a bad habit of not hanging up if they sound hot...cause then I just let em talk and talk xD

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:19 PM

I have this worry that my voice is just super annoying. Or I sound like a 12 year old.

Helios_Skyraptor 03-15-2010 06:19 PM

Usually that works for most of them. But not this new one that's been calling me. If they call me again I'm telling them that if they do not stop calling me I will seek legal action against them. D:

Imagination, D: You're funny.

Imagination 03-15-2010 06:21 PM

Helios, the next time they call tell em your in the middle of taking a shit or something else to freak em out.

Kitteh, I'm sure your voice is adorable :p

Helios_Skyraptor 03-15-2010 06:22 PM

XD LOL!

My voice makes me sound like an eight year old boy. Or at least that's what I'm told on Xbox live. D:

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:23 PM

After awhile, nothing freaks you out. I promise. Out of our whole office, I think I have gotten some of the weirdest, or rudest people out there. You have to be able to laugh about it, or the job would be even worse...

Ehh. I don't know about my voice, I have a feeling it is annoying. And worse now that my nose is stuffy, so I sound awful.

Imagination 03-15-2010 06:24 PM

Lmao thats awesome. Then flaunt the 8 year old boy voice and tell them your parents arent home and wont be home until Midnight whent they arent allowed to call anyways xD

Aw Kitteh :hug:

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:25 PM

We call up to 9pm, and it's super annoying. Because people are so pissed...

Helios_Skyraptor 03-15-2010 06:26 PM

D: I hope you can find a better job soon, Kitteh. That just sounds awful.

KittehMEW 03-15-2010 06:26 PM

I'm pretty much just waitin' for them to fire me.
