    If I get "Hello, how are you today, Thai", I would know it's AFKA cold calling again.

    Swear to God, this was the opening gambit from a cold caller at my house, 'Oh, you look a bit miserable today.' Which was followed a millisecond later by the door slamming in his face.

    I have to cold call for my job. The best I go with is "Hi (whoever) we haven't spoken before, is this a convenient moment"

    Haha. I wish. It's all just bollocks. One big bloody game, trying to dodge the gatekeeper etc. physics and space is the way forward as we know
  • Cold calling - if you ask permission, then you are asking for rejection.

  • The phrase "Up to". As in "Up to 70% off".

    Always turns out to be 70% off everything except all the things you want to buy. They'll be discounted 10% if you're lucky.

    When I see that I always think that they were prepared to rip me off at some piont when the price was 100% of their RRP.
    All these sale prices annoy me, they give the impression there are doing you a favor when the retailer is never going to sell its goods at a loss.

    That is like playing your joker card. Should only do that when complaining to multinationals. Not in day to day correspondence

    Good call sa!

    Someone called me the other day to ask me why I deleted their company's newsletter email without opening it.

    Ridiculous

    Why do you click on 'ok' so that they get the read receipt.
    Just read it without sending the message.

    Or, just don't read it, by doing that simple thing with emails, it frees up so much time to dick around on websites.....the delete button is one of the best inventions...

    I normally do just that, until I got someone today emailing me asking why I hadn't replied, when his first email didn't even notify me of the read receipt! (Hence my post in frustration earlier!)

    I used to work for a bloke that never opened his emails he just left Outlook in preview mode. It was amazing how many people would have a quiet word with me along the lines of "Your boss, doesn't he ever read his emails?".

    One of my bosses never read most of his e mails, unless it was the 3rd one on the subject. He figured that if it was important, they would mail him again or ring him. Unfortunately, he was largely right. I could never do that, but then again I'm not a complete **** like he was :-)

    Bloke on the train talking on the phone at the top of his voice about what is on the agenda for the meeting 2mo. All the business buzzwords were being used. I get that he might've needed to take the call and that work doesn't end when you leave the office, but I hear all the bollocks on a daily basis, I don't want it following me home.

    And I could tell he was enjoying it. If it was me I would've been doing my best to keep my voice down, not projecting.

    Have you tried getting close and projecting the word WANKER loudly so it can be heard at the other end of the phone? Should raise a titter or two.

    Just say hang on I'll fetch him and then leave em on hold for ten mins. They'll be gone by then.

    When asked how are you, I've taken to replying with "not bad considering the accident I've just had".
