Are most people petty and self-centered?

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.
