My curt responses to many sales calls on my cellphone have reduced the number of calls that I receive to perhaps one or two in a week. I find them most annoying as I am sure are all my readers.
I get calls pitching new flats, health insurance policies, loans, etc mostly but, today I just burst out laughing when I received a call promoting a Matrimonial Site.
There was this very sweet voice saying, “Sorry to disturb you sir but, I am calling from xyz Matrimony.” My initial reaction was to burst out laughing which must have puzzled the lady and when I eventually told her that I am 79 years old, even she burst out laughing, apologised for calling and disconnected.
Have you been approached on a telephone call by a Matrimonial site?
There are no matrimonial sales calls here, just solar power and political calls.
My daughters suggest I should join a dating site but I can’t think of anything worse.
You never know!
BUT A DIFFERENT OFFER…TO TELL ME HOW TO RAISE A LOAN FROM THE BANKS!
Now, that is what I would call aplomb!
That’s one I haven’t had!
If and when you do, I bet that you too will react the same way.
nope not that type of call, more would I like to donate to a certain charity – this last time, I said “stop…I’m fed up to your calls” – hoping that they will indeed stop….these on my landline.
My landline hardly ever rings. I think that these callers get the mobile phone numbers from either the service provider or clubs and institutions of particular types.
Well! You are single and eligible…never mind your age!
Have a heart! Just imagine some unsuspecting lady having to put up with a cranky old reprobate.
We probably get 6 or so spam calls a day, mostly on our landline but recently the cell phone spam calls are increasing. We just don’t answer if we don’t recognize the number and name.
That is a good technique. I think that I shall follow suit henceforth.
