Me too, Tom. But I'm also quite firm about requesting removal from their calling list to avoid being pestered further, and wasting their time and mine. |

I'm with Tom on this one. I suspect that the only thing worse that getting telephone sales calls is having to make them. |

If I pick up and hear that I'm on hold, waiting for a human being to pick up on the other end, I immediately hang up. If I pick up and they're there, I'll tell them as quickly as possible, and politely, that I'm not interested. If they push beyond that "No," it gets ugly, fast. |

Kenny, you're just a bad person, and one day you'll burn in hell. A hell administrated, I might add, by telephone sales people. |

kenny, I guess you pretty much answered the question about if you're self centered or not. Nothing we all didn't know. ![]() Personally I don't ever remember you making a post that wasn't entirely about you. |

I like you too, kenny. But you are a petty individual. Nothing wrong with that, but you're kind of smart in a roughhewn kind of way--and you could be so much more. |
