Puccy's tulan face ("Do NOT mess with me!")Nowadays, I hate to pick up my phone especially when caller ID shows the numbers beginning with either 03-xxxx xxxx, or private number or even unknown mobile numbers... Usually they mean one thing: TELEMARKETERS.
Damn, I hate getting these calls. Not only that they are such an annoying lot, they are persistently annoying enough to keep calling even when we gave them a whole bucket-load of excuses or ignoring their calls. It seems to me that the only time they will stop is when I told them off or that I am not interested (usually in less than civil ways).
The nicer ones, they let it go at that.
The annoying ones, either pekak or cognitively challenged.
For example, this happened this morning.
I got a call on my mobile and the number was "03 - xxxx xxxx", I don't normally entertain unknown numbers but my parents are away in KL, so I thought that it might just be them.
Here goes the conversation:
Caller : Hello. May I speak to Ms. C.....
Me : Speaking.
Caller : Hi, C..... This is XXXXX from AIA bla bla bla... we are promoting bla bla bla insurance ... bla bla bla... if anything happen to you we will pay full insured amount (Wah! Like wish me die pulak like that hor) bla bla ... Ms C... are you there? bla bla bla...
Me : (very disinterested and increasingly annoyed) but I already have insurance and I don't need anything else at the moment.
Caller : Ms. C... even if you have insurance... bla bla bla ...
Me : (very annoyed/irritated/pissed off) Now look! I am the one paying for all these stuffs and I have the right to say and decide that I don't need it. Okay? (hangs up)
Now I know that they're just doing their job but hey, don't do it at the expense of my sanity okay? I am in PMS-zone now and please do not give me any reasons/excuses to lash out. I'm already naturally sarca-nasty (sometimes) as I am...

There are a few methods putting off these people from calling:
1. Remember the number and block it.
2. Usually tell straight that I'm not interested.
3. Tell them, I'm going overseas next month for 2 years because of work/outstation.
4. Threaten them, "You want me to call the police? You're disturbing the peace in my personal life and i'll report that you're stalking my phonecalls"
grace:
they will call again... exactly 1 hour later

hehehe... i like no 3...
It usually works hehe. There's one time Fitness First called me and then I told them the no. 3.
They never called me since. :)
"I am in PMS-zone now and please do not give me any reasons/excuses to lash out." god's greatest creation.hahaha...
I did encounter this annoying salesman in some supermarket in JB but not by calling me.What happen is, that girl approach me and say "Sir U ada guna credit card a?" I say "No" while pointing my middle finger to her and she "Kalau U tak mau U cakap bagus2 la" and I reply "Does this mean anything to you?" and she reply "Yes!It's a bad sign!" and I reply "Realy?For me, it is a sign of "No"" and I just walk away and I saw her eye are just widely open.hahahaha..
