Dear company at 02 8023 0000,

You're beginning to piss me off. Telecommunications Ombudsman/Direct Marketing Assoc./Do Not Call Register complaint kinda piss me off. Leave a message or actually talk when I answer so you can try to convince me you're not trying to sell anything, you're "only doing market research". Better yet:

Stop. Fucking. Calling. Me.

kthnxbye.


P.S. Explanation for those interested, about once a day for the last week or so this number has been calling my mobile and either hanging up when I do answer or not leaving a message when it goes to voicemail. (And before you ask, yes, pretty sure I'm current with all my bills.) Finally got jack of this the other day so decided to call back (with withheld caller ID) - got a recorded message "Thank you for calling our customer relations department. If you have been called by this number we'll call again soon. If you do not want to receive any further calls, please press 1 and leave your full name and number." No company name, nothing. Uh, so you keep calling, you hang up when I answer, you don't leave messages when I don't and I'm supposed to leave you my details? I think not. Oh and I'll bet I probably got charged a premium rate for that call... going to be eyeing the next bill for that one.

P.P.S. Why am I blogging such a trivial annoyance? So that the number 028023000, (02) 8023 0000, and any other variant I can think of gets Googled in case others are trying to figure out who this number is. Hey if you do know who it is, I'd love to hear from you.
