Was I rude... Well yes I was, but was it deserved?

It’s a WIBU rather than AIBU: I know I was rude (the 3rd time), but was it deserved, let me explain.
Mobile rang this afternoon, asking for DW, said unfortunately unavailable and could I help? It was about her accident and they could help with the claim. (Haven’t had an accident and certainly no claim to be made). Explained not interested as hadn’t had accident etc, hung up and blocked number.

Phone rings 5 min later, apparently it was the man who I had been speaking too’s supervisor and I had been rude to his member of staff!! Told him to go listen to the recording and he might draw a different conclusion, and no I wasn’t interested in their services. Hung up and blocked this number.

Five minutes later, another supervisor. I’d had enough at this point and summoned Mumsnet and told him to fuck off to the far side of fuck and when he got there fuck off some more (my God, I love that phrase), but never used in anger until today. He tried to get a few more words in at this point but I just laughed and hung up.

So yes I was rude, but will the Mumsnet jury forgive me?

Oh and if you’re on here call centre bod, no matter what the result, I may remain unrepentant so until I tell you other wise, you can stay fucked off!

I don't speak to them, I just put the phone down, usually before they utter a word. The 2 second background call centre noise is a dead giveaway.

@DGRossetti DP speaks Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi and another dialect and a smattering of French, Italian and Swedish.

If he answers the phone he’ll speak to them in their language really throws them. If they’re Irish he hands the phone to me and I ask them if their Mammy knows what they do…☘️☘️☘️☘️🤓😉😉🤓🤓

My DGF likes to open with "ah thank you for calling... Consultancy. Our fees are £500 per hour of consulting time, I have started the first hour from the time of your call. May I take your payment details please?"
He has never had a call back from the same company.
