I've had it up to here with these damn India call center solicitation calls at work..I get like fifty a day..all asking for the person in charge of our telephone or energy bills. I just fucking hang up on them now. I've asked a zillion times to remove us from their call list, but they keep coming..
I just got one saying here name is "Jenny Thompson from Fort Worth calling about our telephone service..." I'm like "C'mon you're name is probably Preety Patel and you're calling from Mumbai. Stop. Just stop." And then I hung up on her.

Nah that ain't rude. Fuck wit dem a little, maybe after a little while they'll stop calling.

Main point - are their constant, unwanted interruptions rude? Yes. So whatever you say afterwards is simply a response in kind.
Ignore the type of folks who say 'well, they're just doing their job'.
If I was a freelance child castrater, would you stand idly by? Or would you get a posse together and chop off my goolies? See where I'm going with this? No?
It's time to Nuke India.

some dipshit emailed me at 27 MB file. I didn't even think our mail server at work allowed attachments that big.

Things to say:
"Do you know Aishwarya Rai? She's hot!"
"You're in India, right? You are, I know. I am soooo into Indian porn."

Rude? Are you kidding - 50+ calls a day, that's f-ing harrassment. I have killed for less than that.

Something else to say:
"What in the shit is the difference between red, green, and yellow curry? I mean, besides the color. Tastes the same to me. Is this your people's idea of a joke? You're eating it right now aren't you?!"

my pals comment on the BBC website article abut foreign call centres:
"My experience of foreign call centres has been very positive. Admiral insurance, who've had a base in india for years, are consistently rapid to
answer your call and provide excellent service. Alliance & Leicester, who pride themselves on answering their phones from Liverpool or Lytham or wherever,
always take 5 minutes to answer and, when they do pick up the phone, put you straight on hold then give you some horrific attitudinal back-chat. Give me a
well-educated, articulate, intelligent person in Mumbai over an intellectually sub-normal whining dullard in the uk any day, please.People who have a problem
with different accents are narrow minded xenophobes; they should be taken out into the street and shot."a few days later good old "freedom of speech" Beeb edited his comment to read as:

that's annoying, and you're not being rude.
but I'm more disappointed by harlequino's curry comment not being funny. usually his comments make me laugh :(

I don't care who is on theother end of the phone as long as they can do the job. If they can't I get furious and tell them to record the call and I start swearing like a bastard see there I go.

I always talk back to them with a stiff southern drawl and ask them stuff like 'you callin me from one a dem A-rab nations?' and 'you wouldn't happen to be a sunny or a shite would ya?' and 'i jist need to know to help protect my nation from terrorists trying to infiltrate my country through phone lines like the japs did in world war two'
Usually by then they've hung up.

(Feb 16 07, 07:24)Sorry, didn't mean nuttin by it. Out of context i guess it doesn't get a laugh. I went to this restaurant the other night and they had this curry sampler spread which we ordered. Everything exactly the same. That's what was in my mind. Sorry. :/

I'm actually planning on going to India in November, so I figure maybe I'll chat 'em up for some sightseeing ideas at this point...
