Hong Kong cold callers are harder on the ears than tuneless buskers
I understand these poor salespeople are paid for every call which is connected, so they really do not care whether the recipient can understand them or not.
In any event, my repeated requests that they stop calling me have not borne fruit. Indeed, I suspect they have redoubled their efforts. I don’t know if the sound of a non-Cantonese-speaker having an apoplectic fit brings some amusement into their lives, their repeated calls certainly bring no joy into mine.
Can Hong Kong finally say bye to cold calls from telemarketers?
Why do our legislators and civil servants permit this disgraceful state of affairs to continue? I can only assume it is because, unlike most of us, they employ minions to answer their telephones, so they have no idea how much time is wasted and how much annoyance is created.
