It was crumby work, but at the end of the day you get pretty hardened up to rejection. To be honest, you're not going to hurt anyone's feelings by just hanging up.
Being actively rude isn't cool though - the person's just doing his or her (low-paid) job. |
Been there, done that when I were in school, sat at a desk with a page from the directory and off we went. I get rude with them, as I am registered with the TPS, and some are using such old databases, they shouldn't be calling, and don't even have the right name, or worse... are you the householder.... yes, fook off.
