Re: It's happened.
You wouldn't have got a response beyond the 3rd line with me, and I hope my support staff would have had the sense to do the same or hand the phone to me.
Anybody who tries to get any information from me without giving a) their name and b) a plausible reason why they want is going to get told to FO, either explicitly or implicitly depending on i) which side of the bed I got out of that morning, and ii) how nicely they asked.
I can't believe you'd tolerate someone asking you the same or a similar question, either at work or in your private life.
However...studies have shown that many people who are willing to divulge information to complete strangers are hiding specific sexual feelings, often... [no, I can't be arsed, and to be fair to Scamp I ought to pick on someone else].

Telesales is vital for the Mop elling industry...We're already suffering from hunger, without telesales we'll be extinct...

I can't believe that anyone would openly admit that they spoke to anybody like that on the phone........ You'd have had a dialling tone from me too...... The 'please' at the end does nothing to make it polite......

Re: It's happened.
Scamp, say your from a courier company, you'll be amazed at the info they will give you then. Shouldn't make a difference but always does here

Re: It's happened.
Some muppet at my office gave out my info- both my Dubai and UK personal numbers- which I get irate enough about when colleagues call me on- we have a seperate sim when travelling so actually very little need for anyone to call me on my mobile as I am generally travelling with my close colleagues-was not impressed- If I ever find out who gave them out I will be breaking some kneecaps! I asked the company that was calling me to update their records and gave them my office number- but no they still call me on my mobile- they are now saved as ignore. Pi$$es me off a treat!
There also seems to be a lack of understanding that if I am on holiday you do not call me as I AM ON HOLIDAY! I can understand it if its an absolute emergency, but generally there isnt much that can't wait for 2 weeks, but if its to ask where a bit of fabric is then I will not be a happy bunny, note why my number is on a need to know basis!

Re: It's happened.
People have missed the point unfortunately / stopped reading half way through and decided to have a pop.
Just to clarify before this ends, because it will go round in circles otherwise;
I HAVE the phone number. I phoned and asked to double check it was the right one.
Some of you perhaps, may be upset if someone delivering you the daily bag of smoke you need blown up your arse didnt get to you because someone you told not to give out any information and therefore failed to be able to check which office you were in, or maybe it doesn't make it to you because they weren't allowed to check the spelling of your name?

It's your attitude not the reasoning behind it.

Anyway... Scamp, I'm afraid you killed it before you started - you didn't ask them how they are and did the necessary small talk. The 'It doesn't matter who I am' was the final nail.

Re: It's happened.
I wanted to just double check it was correct.
Not aimed at anyone in particular but far too many people out here pretend that because they tip their maid once a blue moon that their shit doesn't stink and they've never had a pop.

I prefer to have highly refined white sugar blown up my ass. I'd go apeshit if someone tried smoke.

If i said, It's Scamp from the BBC or it's Ben Dover from Assticklersandfaggotsfanclub it would make no difference.

Re: It's happened.
Scamp- why didn't you just call the number to double check directly?
