I'm too polite to people who call you up on the phone to solicite/sell stuff to you. Just spent about 10 minutes a few days ago letting some nice lady ramble on about some subscription, and, even though I wasn't interested, she thanked me for not hanging up on her. And we wished each other a happy new years. It amused me.
I don't mind them as long as they aren't pushy and you can understand them! I have nothing against foreign people making a living, but if I have to strain to hear them say a few simple words, then I try to get away as soon as I can. Had to have one person repeat herself like 5 times in under a minute!
Point? *looks around* Nope, don't see one :P
Hmmm...I think I will go play with that drabble maker thingy
