關於電話，我一向都有分類的，例如銀行／公司會員等等，我多數填寫屋企電話，免得有人來「騷擾」；而手提電話則是比較私人的通訊渠道，多數只有朋友才有我的手提電話號碼。當然，有時候一時失誤寫下了手提電話，不過多年來還是相安無事。
晚上一通電話打來我的手電，來電顯示「Unknown」，根據以上的慣例，有可能是朋友打來的電話，我也不虞有詐地接來聽。
「…………呀……Hello? Can… you speak Chinese?」傳來的是一把女聲。
我眉頭一皺，廣告嗎？
「Ah….. yeah…….?」或許是有緊急事吧？
「啊，你好，我們是中天電視＠＃＊＆＃＄＾＃＄％＆％＾＄＊＄＾＆＆＃＠＄％！＠＃＄＠＃＄！～＠＃％＠＃＄＾……」以下省略近一百字的機關槍式國語。
老實說，自問個人國語雖然是「有限公司」，但基本的還算聽得懂，但那女聲的急速國語實在超越我的能力，於是我只好在她的連環「攻擊」底下，攝上一句：「I'm sorry, but I don't really understand mandarin……」
你猜她怎說？
她什麼也沒說，不聲一響就切線！
媽的，小姐，妳這是什麼態度呀？我有得罪妳嗎？粵語不是中文嗎？我說我不會國語，妳就這樣切線，妳有沒有禮貌啊？難道妳認為我在浪費妳的時間？我也認為妳在浪費我的時間呀！一開首妳問得不清不楚，然後又這樣切線，算什麼？
類嘅電話我都接唔少,
就算不是語言問題,
只要他/她們一知道無生意做,
就會一聲不響地掛線了,
使人十分惱氣,
最激氣係佢又收了線喎,
無仇報嘛,
想丙佢都唔得呀! =p
@fresh, 係啦, 真係谷鬼氣, 咁既態度都有!
我都想丙佢呀!! (I copied & pasted the Chinese words from 新鮮人 & yours)
I’m from Toronto & we get calls like these all the time. We wish we could block them like you guys could do in the States.
Those mandarin speaking agents no common sense at all. They don’t care about the time of day. I received one that was made as late as 10:18PM. I remembered the time for I screamed at her from the bottom of my lungs. There’s a general rule that no cold calls after 9PM.
They shot their “scripts” (in mandarin) as soon as someone picked up the phone. They didn’t even bother to ask if we understand mandarin or any other dialects.
Like 新鮮人 described, they hung up on you as soon as they realized you’re not interested in their products or services. Absolutely uncivilized!!
@Red Jelly, I don’t get these calls at all, what are they trying to accomplish? These kind of actions just piss off a lot of ppl!
