Unsolicited Insurance
Why is it that every financial institution I have ever dealt with in my entire life is now contacting me about accident insurance? It's fricken annoying. I got a call at my place of work last week. Boy was I mad, getting out from under a truck to answer the shop phone thinking it was my alarm monitoring service. They're the only one to phone me at work. But no... "Hello, is so and so there, I would like to take a moment of your time to tell you about our offer we are extending to you" I told him "No, I don't have a moment to spare, I'm at work right now, and you've interrupted me." "Well, I just want to tell you about our new accidental death insurance where you'll be covered for $50,000, for just $25 per month." Again, I told him I'm in the middle of something, and I'm not interested. So he asked "May I ask why you're not interested in our insurance?" That's when I hung up on him.
Sometimes I string them along. But today, well, I don't know what it is, but these people not only speak poor English, but they speak slowly to boot. They're lucky they don't call my cell phone.

My, my you are an angry Scot. I usually just hang up on them before they finish introducing themselves and the ones who are brave enough to call back claiming that we were accidently disconnected I break it down for them with colorful language and hang up on them again, never had one call back after that. My dad just cusses them out from the word go, and if they hang up on him he calls them back to cuss some more.

Those guys are annoying. When I lived in the lower mainland, I found most of the people that called from those places very hard to understand. I usually ended with "Im sorry but I cant understand you, and I dont want to do any business when I cant understand what business your talking about, dont call me, i will call you if Im interested"
