Because I am waiting for a phone call from the hospital I have answered three 'unknown' calls this morning.
Spurious (spam) calls about claims for an accident that never happened and PPI claims.
The first one I was very rude to, I then thought about it and I am not proud about the language I used.
The next two, I told them that they were wasting their time, their organisation should have done some more checks before wasting their time and mine.
I am in two minds here.
These calls annoy all of us, especially if / when we are waiting for an important call.
But then I think- are these people making the calls because its the only job that they can find?
I did this in the past (1980's) knocking on doors selling windows, it was the only job I could find at the time.
I don't think this knocking doors happens anymore, its cheaper to phone you, or spam your FaceAche page.
I think that we all realise that these are not real ongoing jobs (and the phone calls annoy us) but can we blame those doing it?
Most are just trying to do something that may be considered employment.
EDIT
The moderators and spam filters do a very good job here keeping all the idiots out of sight.
