I seemed to get an unusually large number of unpleasant people today, several of whom hung up while I was in mid-sentence. The nadir came at the beginning of the final hour of the shift, when I told an elderly man what I was calling about and he replied "I'm not interested". I began to remind him it was the same survey he'd been doing every three months for the past year but by the time I reached the end of my sentence he'd hung up. Unsurprisingly that was the final straw that broke the donkey's back, and I swore. The only other occupant of my row was a lady who sits right at the other end, but my cuss word turned out to be loud enough to get her swivelling her head round with a look of disapproval on her face. Feh.
