called  our business, asking for owner by name , told them he  wasnt here , proceeded to say well you guys accept credit cards do you not , and I said no we do not , well would you want to , told them no and then a click and disconnect, annoying !!!!!  I try not to be rude , knowing they are just trying to make a living . But boy it is  highly annoying .

the same person the same phone # the same call , now if it happens a 3rd time the not being rude is out the window

Our company received a call from some guy who asked for the boss by his first name, as if they were buddies, on a first name basis.  When I told him the boss was on the road the guy said he'd try again later.  I asked him if it was a sales call and, big surprise, he told me it wasn't.  I tried to tell him that the boss works on the road (which he does for most of the day) but the guy was too interested in rudely hanging up in my ear and obviously wasn't interested in being brushed off by some female.  So I expect I'll be plagued by this idiot many more times. What he doesn't know is, he'll never get to talk to the boss because the rare time the boss is around and answers the phone, if he doesn't recognize the number, he'll tell the caller that the boss isn't there.  I taught him well.  :-D
