to be pissed off with a cold calling woman to ignore my crying child?!?!

[Flamesparrow]

She said it would only take a couple of mins for a survey.

Flameboy was sobbing loudly in the background.

I said that I couldn't right now, my son is upset and needs me.

She went on saying "It will really only take a couple of minutes"

what happened to compassion????

If my dc's are crying/need my attention/I am cooking dinner etc then I don't even answer the phone in the first place!

Next time say you are ex-directory and ask how they got your number. They'll hang up quickly.
