Quilter's Club of America called me today
#1
He called at around 9:30 am. Now to some this might not be "early" but I am a night owl and crawled into bed around 5:30 so you do the math. And it's saturday-no lessons so I could sleep in as late as I wanted. Here's how it went:
him: hello, this is xxx from quilter's club of america
me: *big sigh*
him: what's the matter?
me: I'm not interested or I would have renewed when I got the letter AND I was asleep
him: oh. Well I noticed your membership has lapsed and I'd like to renew it for you
me: I'm not interested right now
him: gale, are you still quilting?
me: yes but I'm still not interested
him: all I need from you is an okay over the phone
me: NO. I'M NOT INTERESTED *hangs up*
seriously?? Why are they so stinkin' persistent when I said no over and over? I do get calls from magazines I've subscribed to in the past but when I say I'm not interested, the vast majority say 'have a nice day' and that's the end of it. If they try to talk me into it, it's not likely I'll change my mind, and I decide then and there to never buy that magazine again. In fact I have now decided I'll never again subscribe to or buy any F&P magazine, EVER. I was so ticked off I couldn't get back to sleep and I really wanted to get more sleep since I may have to help dh move equipment today. UGH. :thumbdown:

That would annoy me, too! I remember thinking that the telemarketer who called me at 6:00am was SO out of luck! It was actually the Commador of the Navy base telling me my DH was in a "misshap". They all got out ok, but the aircraft was toast. I hate it when they call during my nap. I loved having dial-up because I could go online and then go to sleep and no one could call me!

I can't turn the ringer off because if dh needs something he will call, and he's out in the middle of nowhere, farming, so I don't want him to end up having to walk miles or something. He normally wouldn't call that early though unless it was an emergency.

I may be considered rude by some, but I look at it as not wasting their or my time. When I get any telemarketer I say "I'm not interested and please remove this number from your call list" and immediately hang up.
