Save my stamp? SAVE MY STAMP??? How about I shove my stamp UP YOUR ASS???????

:completely illogical and anger driven rant starting:

So I make this phone call. I find out this company just won a major project. I call to ask if I could speak to someone about whether they might need our product, something that is actually very commonly used for this sort of thing. Of course, instead of putting me through to someone who could INTELLIGENTLY answer that question yes or no, this whore starts quizzing ME about what it is I’m offering.

I explain, and she sez no, we have some already. That’s fine, I say, would you mind me mailing some info about our company, and to whom would I send it, in the off chance your company might be in need of this product?

“Save your stamp” the ignorant bitch says, and hangs up.

You know something, lady, I’m just trying to do my job here, you fucking bitch. Like a piece of mail is going to completely ruin your life and destroy your stupid company.

I beg, and I pray, that a year from now, when your company actually DOES need my product, that the decsionmaker there calls someone else, and gets screwed over because your too busy polishing your fucking nails behind the computer.

Yeah, I know, no one wants to talk to a pushy caller, but instead of being high pressure, all I asked for was a name to send this information to, and that was going to be as far as it went. Hey, if the guy in charge wants to tell me to fuck off, that’s one thing: he would know for sure whether he needs our stuff or not, and he’s one of the ones that would make the final decision. But YOU, how the FUCK would you know if your company would EVER need our product or not? Your job is to take orders, honey. You have shitty phone manners, and no commom courtesy.

I pray that one day a salesman from the company YOU work for, the person on the front lines that brings in income and assures that lazy piece of shit bimbos like you have jobs, calls ME looking for business. I’ll be sure to extend them the SAME courtesy.

Of course, maybe this explains why I’ve risen myself to a job that pays three times the salary you make as a pencil pushing piece of eye candy for the horny male workers at your office. Your a nothing dumb piece of shit, and will never go anywhere in life.

I don’t need to take this kind of shit- fuck you, fuck your company, and fuck your career. I hope a recession hits so that ignorant fucks like you are out of a job.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah . . . much better . . BREATHING DEEPLY . . . .beaches . . … trees. . . flowers . . .

NOW . . on to the next call! :slight_smile:

Life was so much easier in 7th grade when the boys stood on one side of the gym, the girls stood on the other side, and the only thing to cross the middle line was the dancing lights from the disco ball.

I’ll be the first to suggest this. Call it Ender’s rule, if it strikes your fancy. Males can only post in the pit on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Females get Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Sundays are reserved for the eunuchs and dancing bears.

You know Vinnie, I’m starting to get the impression you’re an agry person. I mean, first this, and now this thread.

OK. Carry on.

Vinnie,

Maybe its also her job to weed out salespeople on the phone? Granted she could have said OK to mailing it, but if they are anything like me I throw out unsolicited advertising/catalogs as soon as I get them.

Hey Vinnie… shit is really getting to you lately, isn’t it? Is there something going on that you are not dealing with directly, so that all this other petty junk is bringing you down?

I’m not asking you to tell us, but you might wanna ask youself this question.

Have a nice day. Really.

stoid

Are you certain that her job duties don’t include weeding out phone solicitors or that she may be very aware of the needs of the company she works for?

Ya know, she could have let you spend time putting your company info into an envelope and wasting a stamp to mail it to them only to have it tossed into the trash. I think she did you a favor.

Me too. You assume too much about this woman’s job duties.

The third word!

Keep talking people, your calming me down!

BREATHE IN . . . .breathe out . . . BREATHE IN . . . breathe out . .
It’s been a shitty day. :frowning:

Vinnie, even if it was her job to weed out callers she STILL needs a lesson in phone manners! maybe I wouldn’t have been as harsh in expressing myself as you were, but yeah, she was a jerk.

You may now thank me for answering that question once and for all :smiley:

I would like to point out for the record that I cold-called and sold monster’s company :slight_smile:

And I charged ridiculous prices, too. :smiley:

I’m on Vinnie’s side on this one. I spend at least two hours a day as the receptionist for my office. We’re a small company (probably about 20 agents work in the office, along with about 6 staff people), and I have a decent idea of what the company needs and doesn’t need.

But, I would never presume to tell a caller how to do his (or her) job, or not to send us something, or anything of the ilk. I’m always polite, even when callers don’t understand that I can’t help them because they have the wrong office, or that they should let me transfer them to their party’s voicemail because that will be more effective than giving me a message to tell them, or when the client insists that I’m hiding the person’s wherabouts and that I connect them immediately. If they want our address, or a contact name, I give it to them. It lets them feel more productive, it’s much easier and less stressful than arguing with them, and it takes very little effort to throw away mail.

Sometimes, people should just cooperate.

[sub]Vinnie, what do you sell? Want to give me a call at work, and I’ll try to hook you up? ;)[/sub]

True StephenG, but it is some people’s jobs to know when to blow someone off and when not too. I am not very happy at work if the guy selling fucking photocopier toner/supplies or lightbulbs gets through to me after speaking to someone else. My boys know this.

Vinnie Virginslayer (what a name!), chances are she heard your spiel and thought “telemarketer”. Telemarketing is IMO the scummiest form of legal marketing there is. At least spammers have the courtesy to let me enjoy my dinner in peace.

##@!!! you Manservant!!! You stole ANOTHER sale out from under my feet!!! Damn you man, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!! :slight_smile:

EVIL!!!

First of all, you did it WAY before I started working there. And secondly, I thought you were taking care of me. Guess I was wrong. :mad:

If it makes you feel any better, Vinnie, today I was really nice to a guy who cold-called me wanting to send me a brochure about his products that are supposed to keep rebar from corroding. I told him the name of the chemist who handles corrosion products in our lab and made sure he had our address right.

Next time I see that particular chemist, though, I’m going to say, “Ha ha! I sicced a salesman on you!”

Good point. But it’s all about blowing them off politely. If I know that someone doesn’t want a call, I’ll either transfer the call to voicemail (where the message can easily be deleted), or I’ll tell the caller that they’ll be called back. If I need to take a message from them (gasp), I don’t need to write it down…
