Off topic, a note for search engines and such ... Fashion Bug Sucks, Part Two

[kinzel]

Will someone please tell Fashion Bug that phone calls telling me about the latest bra sale are probably not going to result in additional profit for them? And that giving me a number I should call to opt out of future calls is an absurd imposition? So if I happen to be waiting for a call about an ill family member I can hang up -- and you'll call me back -- or I can listen to your spammy message and then have to spend my energy to call you? Whoa..bad form, Fashion Bug.

So...

Dear Fashion Bug Corporate:

if all the corporations in the US call me and require me to call them back so they won't bother me again, how shall I have time to work, or even to shop?

Maybe if I had a pen I would have written your number down. But I didn't. So I called your local store and asked them to pass the news upline that I don't want your phone calls. Next time you call. I'll call several stores. Got that? I doubt it.

Fashion Bug engages in unfortunate business practices. Shop there at your peril.

Was this a robocall? If it's a person you were talking to, you should be able to say "Put me on your Do Not Call List" and you should not hear from them again.

These sorts of calls almost make me want to sign up for caller ID, but I really don't want to give the phone company any more of my money and I usually don't need it. I am getting rather annoyed at all the police and fire company calls for money though. They invariably call me either right when I'm sitting down to dinner or when I'm trying to get my kids to bed. Why don't they call me in the middle of day? Sorry to rant at you. Not your fault. Thanks for the outlet.

If you register on the national Do Not Call list (http://www.donotcall.gov) you should stop receiving telemarketing calls, save for non-profit organizations and political candidates.

I just give out my cell phone number, then feel free to ignore my cell phone, which has voicemail and call display. The home number's unlisted, and not through the usual telco, so the pre-fix is different than the usual ones in the area. If it rings at home, it's invariably someone we know and actually want to talk to. It's been at least a year since telemarketers called me at home, and they don't call cell phone numbers in this area, either as far as I've seen.
