Can't you people DIAL A FRICKING PHONE?

[amnesiac]

I swear, this morning I've gotten at LEAST 8-9 wrong numbers, all for completely different things (3 were trying to reach someone's residence, 2 were looking for doctors, and the rest just freaked out and hung up)

LEARN TO LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DIALING, YOU FAT FINGERED CHOADSUCKERS!!

I can't get any work (read: browsing) done if I'm constantly bombarded by these fools!

Until we had it changed, our 2nd phone line was Blockbuster video's old phone number.

You know sometimes the switches at the CO do screw up, its not common
so probly good 95% of those were CHOADSUCKERS

I have the same problem. Except my wrong numbers are normally from this elderly lady who always gets the numbers mixed up and i have to tell her about 15 times each call that she misdialed.

Might be a fvckup at the phone company.

I ALWAYS get calls for a school nearby. It makes me wonder what the parent (who is excusing their child from school that day) thinks when they get my vm with a standard "no one is available to take your call..." (its not even a persons voice, its obvious its a computer or something) and its the middle of the day on a school day. Dont they wonder why no one is there to pick up? I seriously get atleast 3 every single week day.

Phones should have a "block caller" option... like e-mail.

I never answer my phone and regularly turn it off. Rather spend time WITH my family than on the phone. I basically regard unknown callers as unwelcome guests.

Get caller ID and only pickup the calls you want.

1) On a PBX. A VERY OLD PBX.

2) 90% of people here have caller ID blocking. Plus what if it's a client? I don't know the phone numbers for all 750 clients that could be calling, plus all 400 other people we deal with on a regular basis.

Caller ID blocking is the most retarded feature EVER. You should be forced to provide a reason you need your number blocked before they let you do it. Caller ID was an option on my cellular package, I got it initially and found out that all but TWO people calling me in the period of almost a year had caller ID blocked. I called and cancled it, because it was pretty much useless on my phone (I almost never answer it and just call people back)

I have unlisted number blocking. Works great. No more hidden telemarketing calls. Don't hear the phone ring as much as I used to.

1) Didn't know you were on a PBX.
2) Time to get a receptionist

Anyhow, on a side note, our phone system at the office has a call screening feature where it asks the caller to state their name and company. Then when I receive a call, I pick up the phone and I hear who is calling and can decide whether or not to pickup. It's great...telemarketers don't even bother...they just hang up.

Hey miss, is dis da telephone station? I need to pay for the phone. What? Don't call me that. The phone, my cell, needs to be paid for. What? Can't you be more polite? This isn't a telephone station? Are you kidding me? I don't believe you. Give me the authority, I need to clear this up.
