Angry.

A T and T, you are ON NOTICE.

You have called me EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, at random times, trying to get me to buy your internet service.

I told you no the first and second times. The third, fourth, and fifth times I hit a little button on my phone that I have that plays a recording that says "This number does not accept this type of calls. Please put me on your no call list."

You called again just now. Yes, I was rude to the (probably making whatever minimum wage is in Bangalore) lady on the phone. I said, in a loud voice, "I DO NOT WANT TO BUY ANY MORE A T and T PRODUCTS. You have called me every day this week! Put me on your no call list!"

I HATE this company. Hate them. They did this to me when I dropped their long-distance service - called me up every night, at home, for two weeks. I finally had to almost cuss out the guy on the other end and write an e-mail to the highest placed person at A T and T I could find an address for.

This is STUPID. If someone says "No" once, calling them back the next day is not going to make them say "yes." Incidentally, in the corporate world, pestering someone to say "yes" when they have abundantly told you "NO" - if the situation involves dating - well, that is sexual harassment and is punishable under law.

A T and T, what part of NO do you not understand? It is TWO FREAKING LETTERS.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

If there were another option for having a landline phone in my town, I would totally take it. I used to have SBC until A T and T bought them out.

I should look into it. Maybe Verizon or someone has actually penetrated the market here for landlines. (I have to have a landline phone; cell service is too easily interrupted for me).

A T and T, if you continue to call me, I will continue to be rude. I am sorry but you are infuriating me and apparently you do not get the message. And obviously my hanging up on you does not work, so I will continue to say "I DO NOT LIKE BEING HARASSED AT HOME. PUT ME ON YOUR NO CALL LIST" until it actually sticks.

Too bad I can't count the cost of my time spent answering the phone off of your next bill to me.
