"How YOU doin'?" (sorry, couldn't resist, been watching too much of Friends lately)

I've said before, I pre-screen my calls with caller ID. It's beyond me why they keep it up--maybe they get paid per phone call. I can give you the names of three or four companies that just keep calling and calling at least once or twice a month in spite of the fact that I never answer and never return their calls. I've never been a sales droid, but I always thought part of the required tool set was knowing when you have a cold lead so you don't waste time on a hopeless situation.

The one time I did, against my better judgement, talk to somebody who came by selling something I needed to buy, it ended up ugly. (short version: me: "I need A and B." him: "Pshaw. Why would you want that? Nobody does that. That's silly. [wait 1 week] Hey, are you going to buy it?" "No." "Oh, OK, can I ask why not?" "Because you don't want to do A and B." "OH OH NO NO WAIT I changed my mind!!! We'll do it!")

Now, that reminds me of one:

Coca-Cola Corporation and their "reward" points program. But that's another thread I will start some day, if they continue to refuse to answer my questions more like humans and less like robots.

Big corporations are the anti-christ.

Misogynistic guys who are willing to start an argument with Pete, but won't bring it when I'm there.

Wal-Mart greeters that neither smile nor "greet."

Isn't that what they get paid to do? "Welcome to WalMart, hello, kiss my ass" something, anything!

Sheldonrs · 02-08-2007, 03:58 PM

And at this moment, I am annoyed that the death of Anna Nicole Smith is the big news story everywhere I go.

I KNOW...they have big old sign on their vests that say "how may I help you" but if you walk around looking lost they don't ask if they can help you!

I was going to reply that I was so sick of seeing her on everything about the baby and stuff, then reread your post that she is dead. Strange strange situations surrounding that girl and her life.

What annoys me about that is how several news sites say that she was "found dead" in the hotel room, and then in the first paragraph or two the story reveals that he was really found unconscious in the hotel room and later died.

It bugs me when reputable news organizations screw up like this.
