I got one of those marketing type phone calls today & me being an utter Prat felt sorry for the woman so agreed to answer her questions.
It was supposed to take 5 minutes of my time! after her asking me questions for 18 minutes I asked how much longer (my 5 & 3 year old playing up in the back ground as kids do when you're on the phone!!) another 5 minutes later and I told her I couldn't carry on and hung up the phone!
She actually called me back?! so I told her again I couldn't carry on as it was taking too long, she started telling me it would only be a few more minutes. I said no and hung up again only to get another phone call wtf?
it was all personal stuff about household income, occupants and spending and I am worried that I answered 20 minutes worth of questions.
was i unreasonable to hang up and how do you stop these kind of calls? we are with tps already

I had one for ExH of 8 yrs standing!! They insisted on asking me the questions. I allowed it for so long with a lot of no answers, then they had to ask me for my email address and my mobile number. Not a fucking chance!!!
