Answer 3

You're a sweet person who doesn't wanna hurt people. Nothing wrong with that. However, calling someone at dinnertime IS wrong, so no shame in what you did!

Answer 4

Carma...because you know he doesn't want to be doing it, or enjoy his tedious work. Because you know he's just like you, working for a living. He's not being paid much, and it's a rough time for everyone. And hanging up is rude. Rude! Rude! Rude! You can't spare a moment for nobody? So if he or somebody else calls, be a little more respectful. And just answer!

Answer 5

Surveyors always have people hang up on them.

They are used to this happening.  This is part of their job.

If it bothered them when people hung up on them, they would not keep doing this kind of job.   No need to feel bad.  They can take care of themselves.   Best Wishes.

Answer 6

dont feel bad, telesales suck when they call sometimes like 4-5 times a day.

im sure the guy doesnt care, he prbs hears it 10 times a day and it just washes over his head.

if you are in this situation again politely but firmly tell the person that you are not interested and have a call waiting or something.

dont feel bad..its part of the job! :)

I am assuming this is just one of those irritating phone calls we get. I usually just say "Thank You very much but I am not interested" and then click.  If you sat and talked to every one that calls for those and other issues you would be on the phone all day.  If they want to send a survey to me then I might fill it out depending on how long it is.  Sometimes if you say yes to them you are on the phone forever they just keep going.  No don't feel bad I am sure they are very used to it.

Answer 8

Try to think of something funny to say before you  hang up.  That way next time it happens you don't have to talk to them, but at least you'll know you made their day!
