What a silly title, you may think. Well its not really when you know what I mean!
Every day for the past 2 weeks (including Sundays), I have had at least one telephone call from someone claiming that they can save me money if I switch my telephone company. It sounds like they are all from the same call centre and at first I was very polite, just saying no thanks, I am happy with who I currently use. Then another couple of days go by and I have had 5 or 6 more calls and I am a little cross now so I say NO! I am NOT going to change. then a few more days down the line and a few more calls, I am a bit more agitated at this invasion of my privacy now. I don't sound very polite at all, in fact I tell them to go away, I have had enough, take my telephone number off their listings and DON'T call again!
Does that work?
Hell no!
What do I have to do to stop this? I thought I had signed up with a telephone preference service to stop these kind of calls. The number of the caller is unavailable so I can't register it and have it blocked. It is such a waste of my time.
And whilst I am on the subject of wasting time..............What about all that junk mail? Its a tree that gets delivered more or less every day. WE are supposed to be aware of saving paper and the like but not if someone wants a nice shiny leaflet shoved through my door apparently.Its always for a pizza or Chinese food delivery service too, different ones every time.
Then there is the case of the phantom plastic bag poster. Someone puts a plastic bag through my door, the bag says please fill up with clothes for XXX charity. (No charity number on the bag by the way). We will collect the bag from outside your house in 2 days. HUH! these are NOT charity bags. Its someone collecting then selling fabric for money and whilst I appreciate individual enterprise, I hate being ripped off by scoundrels pretending they are doing good! I support some charities but will choose who to give to.
I have a note on my door that says NO JUNK MAIL! But hey who reads that? Certainly not our postman who delivers leaflets with the post nowadays and not the people who get paid to put rubbish through our doors!
Please let us get back to normalacy! Its getting on my nerves now.
