Some, like the charities, are exempt from the Do Not Call thing, but I still don't have any money to give them. I don't know who all I get calls from though, because I look at my caller ID and don't answer unless it's from someone I want to talk to; lots of times it just says "unavailable" or something. I never answer those, because that only turns up when it's from a telemarketer or somebody like that (I'm not talking about "anonymous" here, but "unavailable"). But anyway, if you don't have caller ID it might be worth the investment, so you don't have to answer unless you recognize the number and want to talk to the person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842515017113257864.post-49215115491825215922006-11-16T18:57:00.000-06:002006-11-16T18:57:00.000-06:00I answer sales calls for a living, I screen them o...I answer sales calls for a living, I screen them out for my boss. They truly suck, but I love fighting with them, especially the people that walk in the door expecting to sell us a copier. They are the best. I asked one guy, why when I said no, did he persist? Did he think it was an endearing trait? He turned beetroot red, and stormed out. I got applause. <br /><br />Fighting the good fight, one bad suit at a time.Chandirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629463765622067086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-842515017113257864.post-52575509053576213462006-11-16T07:04:00.000-06:002006-11-16T07:04:00.000-06:00I hate it when they start with the line 'Nothing s...I hate it when they start with the line 'Nothing serious..'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
