to have used naughty language

[outnumbered2to1]

on the phone to this arsehole call centre that have phoned me 4 times today while i am waiting on a phonecall from the hospital about my aunt who is terminally ill.

I tried patiently explaining the first 3 times that our number is registered with the TPS so we shouldn't even be on their list for annoying calls but by the fourth i lost it and told them not to call me again or i would be severely displeased.

AIBU or am i just ranting....?

NB i did actually use the F-word and a few other choices Glaswegian expressions....

If you're registered with TPS and they called 4 times then report them. Of course you're not being unreasonable?

i don't think they understood half of what was said and i am glad my two DS's were upstairs in the room and didn't see mummy going all rude hairy glasgow welder at them. But seriously - 4 times in one afternoon.

Already reported them to BT and to Sky (our telephone provider)

yanbu - they get on my last nerve, i also would be the rude hairy glasgow welder

My Dad's a wind up merchant lol. He was so sick of telling a company that he was registered with TPS...that he told the guy on the phone he could end up in prison if he continued to call...said it was a maximum 6 months inside. I don't know if the guy was stupid enough to believe him...but he stopped ringing Lol.

When you have time to stay on the phone-Sound interested, find out who the company is, get the name of the sales caller then abruptly hang up and report them.

Or when they say "Are you the house owner/ Mrs So-and-So" just say "Oh I will just go and get her/ him" and leave the phone off the hook. They will wait a fair while before they realise you are not coming back and it will be their phone bill you are wasting.

before we got on the TPS it was a nightmare. I have caller id on the phone so any "unavailable" numbers i used to let my DS1 answer cos he would tell them things like "mummy's in the toilet" or other gems that 4 and 5 year olds come out with...

i am normally quite pleasant but will always ask "how did you get this number we are on the TPS" and they usually hang up, but today was just too much.....

been a while since the rude hairy welder came out to play but he did question the person on the other end's parentage, sexual orientation and whether or not i could get to bombay before he finished his shift to show him exactly what his "jacksie" was and how i was gonna get his phone up there.....

I like to say "No thank you" and hang up.

Recently they have been asking for Mrs Pidjin, at which point I politely inform them that no one in the house is married

PS, four in one day? YANBU

YANBU at all. My DH had a call the other night asking if Mr X was available. He said 'no I'm not' and hung up. I quite liked that one

well the good news is my parents called from the hospital and my aunt is doing better, not fantastic but better....
