Stupid telemarketers

Bloody hell. I just got ANOTHER call from telemarketers. I got TWO yesterday!

The first one had the misfortune of calling at my crankiest - she went 'Wei, blahblahblah canto Lam Xiu Jei (Miss Lim)" in Canto.
Me: "Sorry I don't speak Cantonese"
She : "Erm do you speak Chinese?"
Me: "I speak Mandarin but not Cantonese"
She: "Erm erm, okay sorry" and hangs up.

NEVER MIND.

Call #2 happened less than an hour after Call #1

Woman: "Wei, cantoblahblahblah Janice?"
Me: "Yes?
Woman: "Janice?"
Me (impatiently): "Yes this is Janice"
*Pause... and hangs up*

KNN!!

About 10 minutes ago, another guy called me on my mobile. Cantoblahblahblah so quickly. I went "yes what is this regarding?" long pause.. and he freaking hung up on me!

FUCKING STUPID RETARDED TELEMARKETERS!

Was just telling G that the telemarketing companies here should engage GOOD English speakers to do telemarketing to the non-canto speaking crowd here.

So damn dumb. Telemarketers drive me nuts!
