We've been dealing with calls from our bank for my dad for months now. No matter how many times they try in the middle of the day he's still going to be at work! And we've told them as much each and every time they've called, but it just doesn't seem to sink in.
Now today I get another call [didn't know it was them until I picked up] and heard on the other line an electronic voice say 'Please hold for an important announcement from TD' and then I'm put on hold!
I stayed on the line if only to tell the person who finally answers [I didn't wait long] how absolutely ridiculous that system is! Also to point out that they can continue to call till the end of time and they'll never catch my dad at home during the middle of the day! Hell even when he's on vacation he's rarely home! [my dad doesn't do sitting still, at least I know where I get it from]
*sigh*
Apparently this woman had more brains than the others as she gave me a phone number for him to call once he does get home tonight. *grr*
Perhaps I'm easily irritated [I'm sure there's no argument there] but as if telemarketing wasn't bad enough now they have dialers that put you on hold. It's just fucked up!
