Sorry to threadwaste
but I need help from fellow B3tans.

Like everyone else I despise those bastard tele-sales people who call at all hours trying to get you buy double galzing. No matter what you say, they still talk at you and you end up throwing the phone away in disgust. Anyway last night, they called as usual, asking me if I wanted a no obligation quote for double glazing.
I said that I was a landlord with six houses and I was looking to do all of the windows in the spring. I told her it was late and I was with my family, so could I call them back tomorrow and discuss terms.

After initially refusing to give me their number I sweet-talked the girl into giving me the details- after all she is hoping to get some big-fat commission for ringing me up at 9pm to tell me a load of wank.

This is the name and phone number of one of the cunts that gets tele sales people to ring you at all hours:

*Mod Edit: not on the board, thanks*

Now all I need is some great (legal) ways to ruin his day.
I'm going to call hm later and try and sell him something, I'm going to put an advert in the paper with his phone number... maybe 'a 22" plasma screen tv, slight blemish on stand. Sell for £100'
etc.

I need more dirty devious tricks, and this is the place to get them.

EDIT: Have now registered with tps. Thanks.

Morning Bovine.
You were in my dream last night. You and Batsgirl and Dutchbird were dressed up like the nihilists in The Big Lebowski, being anti Microsoft terrorists. You gave me an AK47, and asked me to join. I did. I got shot. Then I woke up. It was kinda fun.

Much though I hate those people
you want to be careful. What he's doing is 100% legal. Plaguing him with nuisance adverts etc might not be. Good luck though.

have you tried calling the number first?
to check it's definitely the boss man, rather than a poor harrassed telesales person

The sales girl
told me he was the director of the company.
( Monkboy, Fri 24 Oct 2003, 12:03, archived)

I remember a mate working for one of those companies.
She told me that you never pass anyone on to a superior. You tell the customer you are, then you transfer them to someone else on your level. I can't imagine you'd give out their details to anyone.

I suspect you have been sold a pup, and I also concur with Bovine. Also, if it's nasty to be phoned up at 9pm at night, imagine how fun it must be to be working on a telesales line at that time.
( Dr Phil Kitten, Fri 24 Oct 2003, 12:09, archived)

totally true.
I used to be an escalation contact for BT. People would get transferred to me, thinking they were speaking to a manager. I would say exactly the same things that they were told previously, but being the "Manager", customers tended not to argue at all.

I was also the "foul language" specialist, meaning I got all the sweary blokes and birds transferred to me to deal with.

What a shit job that was.

Register his name on a bunch of tele-sale lists,

I hate those people, and ALWAYS keep them on the phone for as long as I can.

as Lora says they're only trying to earn a (pish poor) wage.

THEY phoned ME
THEY lie to ME

And sometimes you can get a good convo going about nothing (like the weather). Im never abusive to them.

And the "They are doing there job" doesn't wash with me - It is apart of there job to deal with people like me.

It's part of the Police's job
to deal with drunk people trying to beat them up.

Does that make it OK?
( HP SPEEDCORE!, Fri 24 Oct 2003, 12:12, archived)

Strictly speaking...
...beating people up is just a perk of a policeman's job, and not actually part of the job description.
(the_hammerhead_tart -- In love with a strict machine, Fri 24 Oct 2003, 12:14, archived)

Is what ok?
To get drunk and beat up police officers? No.

For the police to have to deal with drunken trying to beat them up? Yes.
( Pops the putz. Most hurt actor? bruise WIll is., Fri 24 Oct 2003, 12:17, archived)

agreed.
If you want handcuffs to be a part of your job, you have to take the crud that comes with it.

That goes for sex workers too.

but at least iu don't fwuck up people's houses.. honestly never get replacement windows.. they are worse than what you have now (unless you have a hole in the wall and no glass...

Usually tell them they need to speak to my husband (not really married)then tell them im going to get him. You can then have fun seeing how long they are willing to wait before they give up and hang up the phone my personal best is 11.34 minutes
