I've been getting calls from 3 Mobile's sales team at least once a day for the last couple of weeks. Of course, I have them blocked so they just get rejected instantly everytime. I wonder with that if they know they're being blocked or if it rings a normal number of times and they think I'm just someone who doesn't answer their phone.

Anyway, I refuse to ever use their service on this basis.

At my house we sometimes get collection agency calls from people who used to have our phone number.

Damn debt collectors! Won't even leave you alone when you tell them you're unemployed and have no money to give them.

 

[whisky]

So people you owe money too actually expect you to pay it back?

Those unreasonable bastards!

Still even though you are unemployed you can show them proof of how hard you are looking to get a new job though.
