I say 'again' because I expect it's all been said before but this is my rant...
Yesterday the phone rang as I was making dinner. It was Sky Loyal Customer Department ... on a Sunday! I gave the poor girl short shrift for calling on a Sunday and put the phone down. Aren't we entitled one day free from pestering?
I was pondering this this morning, remembering a piece on the local evening news about these nuisance calls, and decided that next time I wouldn't let the call go to answerphone (our usual tactic with all unidentifiable calls) but would politely insist the caller deleted my number from their list or face an official complaint if they dared ring again. Five minutes later I had my first opportunity ... one of those recorded messages that ask you to press 2 for an operator. I pressed 2 and a human voice came on the line. The poor man must have thought his luck was in but when I firmly began to make my case he slammed the phone down on me!
Well, that's one down ... with lots to go no doubt!

How fast are you? Do slow people irritate you?
