DP shouting during my conversation.

[supersop60]

I had a car accident a couple of weeks ago. It hurt my back, but I recovered after a few days and decided not to claim on the insurance. I've had a few ambulance chaser phone calls since then. This morning, I was politely telling such a caller that I didn't want to claim, and my DP yelled "Fuck Off" from a few feet away. I was so cross with him. That was U, wasn't it?

Stop clutching your pearls and wind your neck in.

He should F off at an ambulance chaser

No, not really.

I don’t think he was unreasonable. They need to fuck off don’t they?

Yes, he was being U. You were dealing with a call to you in the way you felt best. When they call him he can deal with them in the way he feels best. Shouting over you is a big no and I'd be cross with him too.

Yes, he was being unreasonable, OP. He shouldn't shout over you when you're on the phone.

It's a bit childish. Is he aggressive in other ways?

I don’t think so. I feel like shouting Fuck Off to them as well

Not really, I used to work in personal injury and I would have done the same :D

Hmmmm tricky. I hate being cold called by ambulance chasers but I also hate people shouting at me / directing me when I’m on the phone. I had someone who used to do this to me all the time at work. Drove me bananas!

I’d have felt glad someone was saying it to them that wasn’t me!

He was quite U.Fuck off you time wasting cunt would have been better.

Mookie do you usually speak only in Mumsnet cliches?

Is he aggressive in other ways?

Yes, he usually unwinds after a day at work by kicking children but the poster didn't think it was relevant!?!

It sounds like he was doing you a favour supersop.

Some nasty replies on here. Ops dh was utterly rude.. Yes phone calls like there are a huge pita. However surely a "no thank you" is enough. They are after all only doing their job. Theyre not there to take abuse from faceless wonders

Oh I dunno sometimes I'm polite to these people and sometimes I yell fuck off at them too, if I have spare time I might mess with them a bit and then hang up. Feel bad for the people forced to do these jobs but I'd be surprised if they appreciated getting spam calls to their own phones. I think you may be a but U, sorry.

It's very rude to you, OP. He's saying "You are obviously incapable of dealing with this so I'll deal with it for you". It's on a par with snatching the jam jar out of your hand and taking the lid off "for you".

They are after all only doing their job

Indeed they are, but a lot of these chasers put in fraudulent claims that increase everyone’s insurance so they deserve it. There’s plenty of places you can work without being unscrupulous.

My dh did the same this morning when I answered a cold caller ;)

I always ask them to take me off their call list, the first time, then repeat the request the second time.

By the third call, I ask them to hold on a minute, then leave them hanging for a bit, with the odd “sorry, i’ll Be with you in a minute”. After I then start speaking to the little eager beaver, I point out to them that I’ve previously requested to be taken off their list, but I’ve all the time in the world so shall continue to waste the time of any of their pals in the same manner. They don’t tend to call me after that. 😬

What bit were you annoyed with OP? The swearing or the butting in?

I'm with him in all honesty. They do need to fuck off.

moredetails oh right sorry, thanks. I'll just pm you every time I want to post on a thread from now on and you can tell me if what I'm saying passes the smart arse test, would that be ok??
Please thank you very much

I've said 'wind your neck in' long before I joined MM. So you can do one as well.

Rude and unnecessary. You were dealing with the call.

I agree with Myimaginary. Rude and unnecessary.
