I received 27 calls within 5 min. - stacked up one after another (I received these calls at work). It was a recorded voice regarding some Diabetes topic with a press 1 to speak to someone and 2 to be removed from call list - pressed '2' to be removed from calling list the first dozen times, then '1' the remaining telling, in not polite terms, to get us off the call list.
Ridiculous - 27 calls!!! Should have their phone number blocked-taken back, or something.
I'm at office working then suddenly one of my staff called me that phone rings then we wondered 'coz we haven't yet established that phone number 'coz we're still setting up the workplace. Then when i got the phone a girl talking about something on diabetic then advice to choose/press on # 1 talk with an operator, # 2 cancel... So we just press #2.
I think this should be stop since it could create work stoppage or idle on certian people's work.
I was called while I was on hold on an important call to my hospital district. I pressed 1 to get a representative to find out about a study for diabetics. The young woman asked if I was a diabetic, and I said yes. She asked how I was doing, and I said that I was frustrated. She asked why, and I said that I was having a hard time getting an appointment to renew my Gold Card. She asked if that was with Medicare. I said, "No, it is with the Harris County Hospital District."
Incredulously, she asked, "Have you tried calling them?" So, I said, "Well, I didn't try telepathy." She got real snippy and said, "Well, good luck, with that and have a nice day," and hung up in my face. She invaded my home, was told instantly that I was frustrated, knew that I had pressed 1 and was interested in whatever the study was about.
I don't know if these are the same people who as soon as they hear that you don't have Medicare, they hang up in your face. I have already told them that I do not, and not to call me. I don't know if this is them, but the abusive selfish behavior leads me to think it is. This girl should be stopped.
I work in market research, doing surveys, and we are not allowed to invade someone's home, and then hang up in their face if we don't like something that they say. And it was not her place to assume that I was an idiot and too stupid to think to call the agency that I wanted an appointment with.
Not only that, I lost my place in line on the phone waiting for the HCHD for her call. She should be punished.
