    Indian Bob and annoying calls

    Just had indian Bob call me:

    Bob "is Mrs Hampson there?", Me: "no, you have the wrong number"
    Bob "is the number 01xxxxxx", Me: "Yes", Bob "Then i dont have the wrong number"
    Me: "Yes you do, no one of that name is here, and I dont want to buy your tulip"
    Bob "how do you know, you dont even know what I'm selling"
    Me: "Listen Indian Bob, Fluff off, I dont want your product", Me: Hangs up phone.

    Obviously the above is slightly paraphrased.

    Cock.
    I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

    All salesmen are annoying, he doesn't sound any worse than the usual ones

    It could be worse he could have been an agent

      He got all irrate when I wouldnt listen to him or let him tell me the product. Daily we get these calls, today, he got the response I've wanted to give for ages!!

      Next week, I might see what they are selling and let him waffle for ages, string him along, then I might try and sell him consultancy. turn it around to them

        Just ask them if they can call back later because you are in the middle of dressing up in your wife’s clothes and time is very tight as she has only popped out for an hour to see her father

        That should do it

            Better still, Google 'bt.wav' for the ideal response.

              Bobs from telephone network "3", have been a pain the mobile recently.

              Had 3 calls in the last 10 days or so. Hopefully they give up after 3.

                Theres a little app for the Android phones called adaffix. One of the nice features is that you can reject all withheld number calls, or you can add specific numbers to the reject list.

                I dont get many such calls, but when I do they do annoy me. If I got a lot id just change number.

                  Just don't forget to turn it off when you're benched or all the agents won't be able to pester you

                    As soon as you get the auto dial blip, and a delay in the person answering the other end I hang up or cut them off with I'm not interested in marketing calls.
