Post your funny and/or horrifying examples of bad behavior on the part of salesdroids.

From my voice mail this morning, about 8:15AM (names changed to protect the innocent):

"Hi, Steve, this is Joe Blow with Uranus-Hertz*. You should check out our web site at uranus-hertz.com. I'm going to call you back around 9:15 to schedule an appointment with one of our sales engineers to come out and talk with you."

Can we be just a little more pushy and arrogant?

Oh, and can we actually mention what kind of products we sell? Sure, I could go to the web page and find out, but why should I?

* This is from a Dilbert strip where they're trying to come up with a new name for the company, and it's been suggested that they evoke a hi-tech aura by combining terms from astronomy and physics. I do not know if there is a web site at this addres, and I take no responsibility for what's there if you decide to find out.
