Why does that piss me off more than it would at home? Because it took me by surprise, and I sat there and listened to her sales pitch for 3 minutes before figuring out that it was a cold call? It was from American Express, and I do have an AmEx rewards card for service contract sales, so I thought it was related to that.

after she stopped for breath)

"so...you're tlelemarketing me at work?!"

her:
" well, yes, but it IS a business account I'm offering for small businesses"

me:

"well, I just work here....it's not MY business......please don't call me here again."
