It's happened again: the second time in a week that I've hung up on a caller. I don't know who she was but she was trying to sell me something I didn't want. I tried politely to say I wasn't interested but when she kept going on with her spiel I waited for her to take a breath and quickly interjected, "Thank you, but I'm not interested. Bye," and hung up.
I feel rude hanging up but I'm sick and tired of strangers ringing me up and trying to sell me stuff that I'm not interested in. They must be getting desperate because this is the third time that I've turned down this 'incredible offer' (their words, not mine).
When I was a full-time stay-at-home mum I used to hate the door-to-door sale people that would come around and waste my time trying to sell me whatever it was they were promoting. At least it's easier to say 'no' to someone over the phone that I can't see but I still don't like it.
So if you're reading this and your job is to try and sell me something over the phone let me give you some advice: don't bother. Don't ring because chances are, I'm gonna hang up.
