We're in the middle of a torrential storm here and I'm running around trying to shut the windows. Phone rings, grab it. Primus, telephone company. I ask who it is, he tells me, I say no and slam the phone down, rush back to mop up the flood. He rings me back a second later and tells me I was very rude.
I almost lost it. I did lose it. I told him exactly what people who ring me unscolicited at 6.25 at night get and it isn't the courtesy I'd normally extend to strangers. He put the phone down on me.
I am so angry I want to do something. Some unspecified, violent something. I'm a peacable kind of person but this, this goes beyond everything. Going to call Primus and complain. Bastard. Invasive, snooty, condescending bastard. And he said our name wrong.

Well, I tried to get the number but it wasn't available so I called Primus. Got through to someone who was properly shocked but not able to do much as I couldn't even remember the guy's name. So husband walks in and I tell him, vent, feel better and go off to give the girls their bath.David walks into the bathroom and says, 'never guess who just called.' It was Primus. I asked if it was a grovelling apology. No. It was _the same man_. I asked David what he said. "Oh, I just said, 'didn't you call earlier?' and he said possibly."
So I lost it again...you didn't get his name/shout at him for upsetting me, blah, blah...
Honestly. I mean. ::gives up::
