| I’ve been running a business for several years, but only had a residential phone listing that was on the Do-Not-Call list. In order to have my business listed in the yellow pages, I had to switch to a business line. I pay more each month, but for the same service as before. That’s bad enough, but business numbers are also exempt from the Do-Not-Call list. Now I get to ignore my clients while I listen to telemarketers all day long. And I'm still trying to get my number listed in the yellow pages... Is this the way it should be? |

Sometimes humour helps a lot! I stumbled upon this site, that has found a universal answer to all the unwanted offers they get by phone. Quite funny and absurd: http://wedonotuse.com/
Here's an example:
Teach yourself CD
Good day, I am calling from the Boersen publishing group. We are offering some teach-yourself-CD for Microsoft Office.
That sounds interesting. Do you still have the programs for learning WordPerfect 4.2 or SuperCalc4? I remember you did have these at the end of the eighties.
Ehrm, no I do not think so, but I will gladly check if we still do. But then there are these excellent CDs for Microsoft Office that I have on offer.
But we do not use CD readers in this office. We have 5.25” floppy drives.
Yes, but what about the central server? It surely has a CD drive?
We do not use any servers.
Ah, well…
But if you really could get a copy of the WordPerfect or SuperCalc that would be great. It is not that we who have used the program the last 17 years need to learn anything about them, but then there are the new employees, which are having a difficult time to learn them.
I am quite sure we do have anything on diskettes. All our programmes are delivered on CD.
As far as you believe, yes. Well, not that I have that great an understanding on the subject matter, but don’t you think we could squeeze the CD disk into the 5.25” drive?
No, I do not think you can. But I will call you back with an answer. Good-bye.
He did not call back. |
