PHONE POLLS/SURVEYS

[jx2mad]

What a lot of croc!! I bet the answers given are anything but accurate. I have decided that I will not do any more. Surely an answer you give as a spot decision cannot be true if you do not know anything, or very little about what you have been asked. Surely given time to research and consider your answer, might find that you answer differently to these spot answers the interviewer expects. I also suspect that there are trick questions in the survey. You answer NO to something and a little later the same question is asked again but presented in a totally different way, where you might answer YES. I am over them. Jim :mad:

Sounds like you got tricked into answering "YES" to the latest survey asking if you believe that Shapelle should be offered the role of Governor General when she returns to Australia. :p

Seriously though - I know what you mean. I never participate in any phone surveys of any kind. I politely respond that I'm not interested.

If they become persistent - I become rude. :angel:

I dont answer the phone unless I recognise the number calling.
My phone does not store messages.
I dont own a mobile thingy.

The world didn't stop but I stepped off far enough to suit me, ta.

[olbod]

PS: to the above.
If crappers want to contact me they can do it via telegram, eh.

I don't answer ours either. I let the machine take a message. If they don't leave one, it couldn't be too important then.

Perhaps we better explain what a telegram is to them young folk.

It's a hand delivered, printed copy of an email sent between PO to PO
and brought to you by a Post Office boy riding a bike.

Not sure if the bikes are Speedwell, Malvern Star or Acme.

Actually hand delivered by a telegram boy on a bicycle!! No more telegrams at weddings either. Jim

Thats right.
I used post office boy rather than telegram because I thought that them young folk might not know what PO stands for.

I wouldn't even have a fixed phone line if I had my way. The ONLY people that ring it are scammers (by the million, even though were on the no call lists), "polls" and of course bloody charities.... NEVER give to a charity, they obviously share your number around to every other god damn charity out there ..... NO I WILL NOT SELL YOUR $%#@$%#$ RAFFLE TICKETS...... You are the 3rd charity to ring today wanting that :censored: :censored:

If you register a new baby as being born, you get inundated by the "baby health" based charities too.... Bloody SIDS trying to hassle new mothers when there barely home from hospital while there at there weakest. The assholes either record and contact anyone that announces a birth, or they are forwarded lists by a government department somewhere.

I ask the surveyor if the information is going to be collated and then sold to a third party (the answer is yes). I then ask how much I will be paid to provide the information. The answer is usually "click".
I don't mind the concept of getting something free and turning it into something worthwhile. I collect feral fruit to make jam, and if I ask a property owner for unwanted fruit then I offer them some jam by way of thanks.
However, if I was in commercial production then I would have a hide to expect to get my unprocessed material free, and as far as I'm concerned that also applies to information gatherers. My time is beyond price, and no amount of money can buy me more. If I want to put a value on a small chunk of it, then OK, but I won't squander it on exploiters.
