Everyone will agree, these people suck!

O.K., sometimes it's not so bad, but they must work in cycles or something because sometimes I don't hear from them at all and other times it's at least two a night. Can you guess who I'm talking about? yup, you got it....PHONE SOLICITORS!! They're worse than a bad case of headlice! I just don't understand it. Why do they still exist when we have so many other ways to advertise that are not as intrusive? There's television, the Internet, brochures on windshields or hung on doorknobs, billboards, the mail.....
Door to door salespeople went out with the times, why not these people? Look what happened with the "do not call" registry! You'd think they would have gotten a clue! NO ONE LIKES IT!!!!
I cannot imagine that they make so many loyal customers by doing it. If a company is going to be so inconsiderate as to call me at home and interrupt me when I have important things to do,
I don't care what kind of deal they're offering, I don't want to do business with them! To me phone soliciting is bad business. It pushes people away more than anything because it p----s people off! I can't believe it doesn't hurt their sales more than it helps them because everyone I talk to hates it.
I used to try to be polite to them because I didn't want to be rude but now I just hang up as soon as I hear, "Could I speak to the lady of the house?" CLICK. "Hello, could I speak to Ms. mispronounce your last name?" CLICK. You can't answer them anyway, you have your mouth full because it's DINNERTIME!!
How long will they continue this idiotic practice and be hated, hung up on, cussed out, yelled at or otherwise abused?? The more perplexing issue is why anyone in their right mind would agree to do a job like that! I'm sure they're pay sucks, and if they work on a commission basis that's even worse. I'm sure they don't make many loyal customers by annoying and irritating people.
Do businesses think we're stupid? I know where to go if I want my carpet cleaned or new windows or my windshield rock chips repaired! I will seek them out when I need them and I know where to find them. I know how to get a credit card and find out about special offers from credit cards I already have. I will pick up the phone AND CALL THEM! At my convienience and when I need it. What, do they think I'm going to wait around until a solicitor calls me to replace my broken window? Yeah, my window's been broken out for 6 months now, I've just been waitin' for you to call me! I thought you'd never call! If my window breaks, I'm going to call up a local business and get it fixed right away. I can't believe they make a whole lot of sales by hoping that when they call someone, their window just so happened to have broken the day before!
And if you do happen to have a weak moment and give in to some charity by donating, they thank you by bugging you for the rest of your life! I learned that lesson. Once you give they expect it every time, always bringing up the fact that you so generously gave the last time. Because of that, I don't give to charities anymore! They'll never leave you alone. It's never a one time donation. Why can't they see this? They have had to have driven away many people the same way. I don't see how it's profitable.
It should be made illegal. If everyone in the country could stop solicitation calls they'd all do it! Even the loathesome creatures that do it for a living.
Get a real job, people! You suck!!
