dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 When you call people in a professional capacity and they answer with an almost confused sounding "hello?" Yeah your number is on your email signature pal. I haven't bought your details from the government. Plus I'm following up the email YOU sent ME with the call YOU requested from ME. Absolute dicks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have been guilty of this when I was working. I've never been comfortable with telephone communications, and trying to do a chirpy "I.T. Services, Mike Mooney speaking" would have made me feel cringeingly selfconscious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I hate it when a number you don't recognise calls. It makes me answer really weird, and it always a rouses suspicion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) I always answer the phone with “ahoy hoy” precisely as it’s inventor wished usually gets greeted with either chuckles or a pause Edited January 27, 2018 by tonyh29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know where half of 'em get the number from. If it's important, they leave a message, if not I google the number and block it if it's unsolicited.

Popular Post johnny from donny Posted January 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2018 People who go the wrong way around one way systems in car parks. Like they're too important for all those signs to possibly apply to them. People who cut corners why turning right at junctions. I mean, ok, we've probably all done it by a few inches or even a foot of so; but the ones who nearly clip the kerb with their right hand front wheel are just arseholes who shouldn't be allowed to drive. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry hill yesterday on the Debenhams car park.. I parked right at the back because of how busy it was. The road was all 1 way and me and my lad had to wait for 12 cars to go past us even though there are large arrows on the floor as you enter. It was pissing down too. Assholes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, happens at the Fort a lot. Should be snipers on the roof taking people out who break the car park conduct code. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
