some ppl are STUPID!!
 

So I work in an office and the last 4 digits of our # are 8006...well there's a satellite company that advertises on US t.v and their # is VOOM...which is 8666 right??? well, these dumb fucks from the US call and they don't get it...

Caller: Hi, I wanna buy some satellite t.v??

Me: sorry u got the wrong #

Caller: isn't this 1-800-...-VOOM???

Me: No, this is 8006

Caller: well I got this # from the t.v.

Me: yes, and VOOM is not 8006 on your phone..it's 8666

Caller: I don't get it...

Me: VOOM..the letters OO are not the # 0...they're the letters on your phone..

Caller: but it says VOOM on the t.v.....

Me: yeah...OO not 00...how can u not understand???

Ughh, so I get about 20 of these calls a day and they don't get it...how is that so hard to understand??? to make it worse, they actually call back b/c they don't get it...MORONs!!

Sorry I had to vent..:helpme

We get people leaving messages on our machine thinking they're calling the post office all the time...

They'll call over and over... like they can't tell that they are calling a HOME answering machine! Do they really think the post office would have a message saying "Sorry you missed us. Leave a message and we'll get back to you when we feel like it."??:1orglaugh

Cheers!

haha that's funny..

but seriously u should here these idiots from alabama...

*alabama accent*...whaaaat?? but it says voom???...

morons...I can't believe ppl are that dumb!!!:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Don't you ever wonder if life is easier for stupid people... or if it's more difficult because they can't get a grasp on anything?:2 cents:

Cheers!

Just read some post over here :winkwink:

There is only two infinite things, the universe, and the human stupidity, for the universe I am still not sure tho

:Graucho

you are seeing it as an annoyance,

i see it as an opourtunity to sell 20 satellites a day :2 cents:

take their order and tell them there satellite is on the way

make sure to get all their credit card info, email addy and anything else you can get out of them. I think it'd be fun. :)

I'd love to do that but what if they call back???...isn't that fraud???:winkwink:

Maybe you can get a referral kickback (jk) Odie you could sell ice to an eskimo! I totally understand how frustrating it is when you are working on something and have constant interuptions.

We have the same problem. A snowboard and ski manufacturing company in Colorado had a misprint in their catolog that went out to 1000's of their clients for their new line or products. They listed our 1-800 number to call for orders. We get people calling all the time wanting to place a wholesale order of Snowboards. We were nice to the first 50 or so but now it's annoying and we let them know we don't have any snowboards but we could sell them some porn. It costs us money for every call and the company's owner said he was sorry and would send us a free snowboard for the trouble. It has never showed up and that was a year ago. I need to send him another email about that.

actually we've called their sales office in Mobile Alabama and they don't care...I told them they're losing some serious sales/day!!

not to mention the loss of work that I lose...:321GFY

I'll take a Kemper or burton board please...lol..

that's bs..it costs u $$??? ridiculous..:321GFY

But it sure would be funny if you signed them all up with Tasty Tranny accounts! - Have them explain that to their significant others when it shows up on their credit card bills! hahahaha

OMG!! ROFL!! I never thought of that!!! oh but the charge backs would not be good..:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

could u imagine??

"umm honey, what's this??"

"i dunno,"

"how'd that get there?"

"is there something u aren't telling me?"
:1orglaugh

I think a charge back or two would be so worth it! - "Honey I swear I was ordering Satalite" HAHAHAHa

so how do u explain the charges???

I swear I don't know!!! It has to be a mistake!!

but the cc company says that u did it!!:1orglaugh

Mouhahaha, where are you working Odie?

This is a great opportunity to make some money actually. There's plenty of national based satellite programs offered through CJ.com and you can simply take down their information and enter it directly into the sponsor and make money on their personal information. Especially if you're volume is upwards of 20 leads per day.

I work for a venture capital group in Toronto in the financial district...:thumbsup

you mean like selling email addy's?? :winkwink:

some people really are stupid

yes and everyday I wonder if there are more stupid ppl in the world than there are smart ppl!!:(

God, Odie, I hear ya! The only good thing is that you're getting paid to waste your time. I had a new line installed at home and the people who had it before must have entered every flipping contest on the planet as I get a huge volume of calls from sales reps, church groups, phone companies, survey kids - you name it!

Mr. and Mrs. Vella, if you're out there, GFY!!!!! grrrrr! :321GFY

oh Doug,...dont forget about the stupid sales reps tha don't know what NO means!!

I keep getting rogers sales reps telling me I won a free phone but it's going to cost me X$ amonth...and after I tell them I don't want it they try to sell me a new cable package!!...too retarded..:1orglaugh

About 6 months ago I found a company that have a satellite affiliate program and they pay about $100-150 per sold satellite through your link. You could buy a domain for this, setup the affiliate links and send the people there. It cant be so hard to find the program if you look for that products on google.

That must suck :1orglaugh sorry it's funny :winkwink:
