Are you more aggresive on the phone than in person?

Question

Do you tell off telemarketers with balls that you only have when you're on the phone, as opposed to being polite to pushy mall salesmen ?
Or are you always polite or a jerk?

Answer 1

I am usually very polite.

Answer 2

This is a good question.Telemarketers have the unfortunate habit of calling at Tea-time(Dinner) in our country-New Zealand.My friend reckons he has the answer. He asks them for their home phone number, so he can call them at an awkward time to.But lately I've mellowed a bit. I used to be a tele-marketer for a Radio Station. It isn't an easy job, and if your only paid by commission, it must be pretty heart-breaking.So now I listen politely. Only problem. There are a lot of Indians and asians doing this job, and some are very hard to understand over the phone.But I guess someone has to do it. By the way I don't frequent any malls, so don't know answer to that one. My wife's the worst. She can't even say no to the Jehovah Witnesses when they call. Good Luck!

Answer 3

I am horrible to telemarketers. I know this about myself and I am okay with it. I am on the Do Not Call list, so if they call me, I am very sweet and polite, tell them I am right in the middle of something, ask them if they can hold on for JUST a minute, then I turn on Drowning Pool's Bodies and BLAST it in the phone. They shouldn't call me.

I am more polite to pushy salespeople up to a point, then I am rude again. No means no.

Answer 4

I may not seem always polite...it is that I am quiet with a striking presence that appears to at times put people off..even a "Hello.." in my regular voice, a radio sultry voice....has an impact...so I must be careful when speaking for the first time to someone.....on the phone or in person I am the same....I haven't a cruel bone in my body mind or spirit....no care or sense of revenge..the universe handles that quite well.... I am a Writer, I interpret what I see feel and think...often what others do as well...
I am polite.....
even when crossed.......

Answer 5

I can be as big a jerk in either situation. It depends on my mood that day. Generally I am nicer in person though because I'm so often at work and see so many customers. And we all know the customer is always right!

If I'm in a bad mood though, I love to get my frustrations out on telemarketers. I did that job once, worst job ever.

Answer 6

I am alway's a jerk (60%) to sales people and I know it is just there job but I hate going into a store and having 10 people say can I help you like at Staples the other day i almost left because i got so annoyed i just wanted to check the store out!

Answer 7

Yes, because the person on the other line has trouble trying to smash me in the mouth through the wires. We use our voice mail to screen calls. Drives our kids crazy.
Normally I try to be polite because I know sometimes they are just trying to do their job as onerous it is. But if they push me too much then I lose it. And feel guilty after wards. But some people are so crude and obnoxious they need to know about their obnoxious behavior.

Answer 8

HAHA I Guess Youre Right. I Am More Of Meanie Winnie On The Phone

Answer 9

It depends on the situation, I suppose I am more aggresive to telemarketers on the phone, but I have been snappy with sales people as well....

Answer 10

I think I'm probably more aggressive on the phone than in person - I know I am often less relaxed on the phone.

Answer 11

Wow - even with the certainty that i do no longer commonly study the solutions first, I did this time and that i'm surprised at how many are coming down on the fringe of pts. for that reason. I ought to declare that for the time of my e book, with any breed, an unprovoked chew is 'allowed' as quickly as. And as quickly as in elementary terms. After that i'm afraid it is curtains. on your case, you ought to evaluate your unborn toddler, and the different little ones that should/would be entering your homestead interior the close to destiny. in simple terms interior the comparable way you somewhat won't be able to morally rehome this boy into yet another family contributors with little ones. What makes this lad's behaviour doubly aggravating is his unpredictability - romping and enjoying one 2d, and desiring to chew the subsequent - loaded gun time. i think of you ought to perhaps touch PB Rescue (assuming there is this type of element interior the States - ? are you Stateside). they could have in simple terms the magnificent experienced homestead waiting for him. besides the incontrovertible fact that, as your vet, particularly, recommends euth. i think of i could ought to hearken to him - vets do no longer many times desire to place healthful canines down, and probably he's familiar with your canines first-hand? in case you have made each and all of the enquiries you could approximately what to do with him, i think of you desire have no after-strategies approximately what replaced into the magnificent element for him, in case you do come to a decision to end it.
