In the midst of me processing a new case that landed on my table, I got a call from a DIGI number that is not familiar but I answered it anyways. Silly me! It was a telemarketeer from this company called Waterdrops Sdn Bhd, located at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng.
She introduced herself, but I didn’t catch the name and she went on to saying that she is not selling any holiday package or anything. Then she asked me whether I’ve used or heard of water vending machine. I said no. Then she went on to explain what it is and all…… and that she’s inviting to a launch. She asked me when I’d be free to attend this launch. Then it dawned on me, like if it’s a product launching event, wouldn’t the date, venue and time have been fixed? You don’t ask an “invitee” to a launch on the best time for the invitee to come to an event!
Knowing my work, school, family commitments and gym schedules, I know I will be a busy bee and wont have time to attend such events so I said, “I’m sorry, I’m busy. And I’m not interested. Thank you for calling”. Before I could disconnect the call, she responded in the most sarchy tone ever “Cik Syira ni kerja apa yang busy sangat nih?”
I was dumbfounded for a second. I mean, I don’t have to explain myself to a perfect stranger on why I’m busy. Furthermore, no offence to Waterdrops Sdn Bhd, BUT WHY THE HELL WOULD I BE INTERESTED IN water vending machine. Please explain to me like I’m 5 year old!
Again I politely said, I STRESSED on POLITELY, that I’m not interested, thank you for calling. And I hung up.
Few minutes later I received this sms from this number 016-5212206, in sms language which took me a while to understand –
“Thnks bcos u r nt interested, n tat why u r nt married, andartu.. Haha, ksian t,lampau b,lagak”.
Can you believe it? I mean, I totally understand that I may be the 100th person who has said to you that I’m not interested but HARLOW! Do you have to be that super rude and attack me on personal basis?
Should I lodge police report? Should I publish this in The Star, NST??

Silly Cow! Mmg kurang ajar this woman. You should teach her a lesson. Like I said before if they did not do anything abt your complaint then you should write a letter to malay mail!!!
Wow! That's totally rude! You should lodge a police report and publish this story in all major newspapers. At least the public will be aware about this.
Totally intolerable!
