Does this annoy you?

So someone calls you up, either at work or home, and they take forever to relate the reason they called?

ARG this bugs me. it's like what the hell do you want already!

co-worker calls me up:

me: hey, what's up.
him: nothing
me: *pauses*
him: so what are you up to?
me: nothing, what's up.
him: oh nothing...
me: umm yeah....
*pauses*
him: ummmmmmmmm hey.
do you know how ........ works?
me: no, i know nothing about it. you have to call ****
him: hmmmmm ummmmm so you don't know?
me: ummm no. i just told you i don't.
him: ok....**pauses like he is going to talk about something else**
him: Thanks, Later. *click*

If you call me, tell me what you want. I don't want to sit on the phone in dead silence for 2 minutes before you tell me why you called.

Usually a sign that they have to tell you something they know you dont want to hear.

Yes it does.. It also annoys me when:

1. People call me after 10:30pm, unless I'm waiting or expecting their call at the later hours of the night
2. People call me before 7:30am. I'm half awake and they're trying to sell me something..
3. People who ask me, "Who's this?" when I answer the phone.
4. People who ask me, "Is *name* here?" I always answer, "You should know already" then hangup.
5. People who always go, "Wassup" really loud into the phone. I don't even bother talking to them..

That's about it.. Oh, and people who call between 6:00pm to 7:00pm, I'm usually eating dinner and you don't want to interrupt my dinner.

I had a guy calling me today about a credit card. Telemarketers really should have a better handle on the english language than this guy did.

Me: Hello?
Him: Yes, hello.
Me: Yes?
Him: Yes, is Courtney Gwaltney there? (Courtney is my first name. I'm a man, very obvious from the deep voice. Middle name is Ryan.)
Me: Speaking.
Him: Courtney?
Me: Yes.
Him: *Mutters something in Aribic* Well, Miss Gwaltney, I'm calling to offer you a new Gold Visa, blah blah blah...
Me: Not interested *click*

He was very hard to understand. I'm sure he meant well, but if you are going to call me, then at least be willing to accept that a voice that sounds male IS, in fact, male. I have nothing against people from other countries at all. However, if he is in a job where he has to communicate with people, he should have a good command of the english language.
