Getting a lot of calls lately from 408 area code - which is where I live. Comes up "Cell" and since I have family, I'm never sure if it's one of my kids using a friend's cell. So I pick up.
This time it was a man with a thick southern drawl, so at least I could understand him.... general contractor, kitchen, bath, whatever. Said at the beginning: "I don't want to waste your time or my time, we've just had a re-model of our kitchen and bathrooms so we're not interested, thanks." (We really did, and I like to start with a polite decorum...).
He then says "well if there's anything else on the inside or outside you might consider?"
Me: "no".
Him: "You know if you remodel your kitchen or bath, the payback is 2 to 3 times what you put in to it, would you be interested in that?"
Me: "Well, that shows you aren't listening, we just had our kitchen and bathrooms re-done, I'm really not interested, so I'm going to hang up now....."
He's able to throw in a "God Bless" - well, OK then....
GEEEEZ! They are now added to the ever growing "blocked" list I have on my phone. ID SAYS from Gilroy/Los Gatos/Morgan Hill, but they're from a calling center elsewhere.
