I wish I had an air horn
Fri Jan 17 2003

So, I'm getting ready for bed last night. It is somewhere between 9 and 9:30, the kids are finally starting to drop off to sleep and the house is wonderfully peaceful.

The phone rings.

In anticipation of it being a call from Hubby, I answer it only to be greeted by a telephone solicitor.

WHO IN THE HELL CALLS TO SELL ME SOMETHING AT ALMOST 9:30 AT NIGHT?

I was appropriately rude to him, then hung up.

I am definitely going to have the screening put back on my phone. Calls from these annoying people start around 7:00am and as I learned last night can go to later at night than I like receiving calls.

I suppose I could be like a former co-worker. Whenever he got solicitation calls, he would tell them he was not interested. He would then, in a leering manner, ask them what they were wearing.

    I always ask'm to hold. Then I don't bother going back to the phone. Either that or I ask'm for their home phone numbers and I'd be happy to discuss the product while he eats dinner....

    I always tell them to take me off their list. I hardly get calls anymore. :)
