i had these tossers keep calling me.
In the end i lost it at the prick. After about 6 calls i started to get quite annoyed as you can probably imagine'
They sound so smarmy on the phone too which further infuriated me.

I said 'can you stop calling me now'

him 'no'

me 'wtf you mean no'

him 'i,ll just keep calling you, until you say yes'

me 'lots of fk words'

end of calls.

The best option is to be polite and turn the tables on them.

Listen for a little bit, interact, ask how their day is going, etc.

When they are least expecting it try to sell them a memory card for a digital camera. Everyone has a digital camera so you can easily swing the conversation round to selling them one.

I did this for sport when phoned up 10 times a day by companies trying to sell my wife's car for me when it was advertised in auto trader, (despite the no canvassers comment).

Great fun.

hehe brilliant. I almost want them to call me again, sounds like excellent fun instead of working myself up about it.
