I used to live in England and have only the occasional random, "you won a million pounds!" caller. But once I moved to Australia, these random callers are calling all the time! The most frequent are these Western Asians who say that I should do this and that with my home insulation and the likes. "Sorry I'm not interested" just doesn't cut it! They will call me 5 minutes after and if I ignore that call then there's one waiting for me in a few days time. The reason why Australians and Americans get the most annoyed is not because they are hotheads. Its simply because they are annoyed the most. The commercial world has just gone bonkers in my view and everything is "Buy my product or I will make your life hell!" I am getting sick of it! P.S. If your wondering as well, I'm no racist. I have had lots of Indian/Nepalese/Pakistani friends and they are the most friendliest people I have ever known. Race is obiviously no problem, its just our current world who persist in selling and buying with a selfish attitude. Hi there everyone,

"Obviously it was smashed before it was posted, so we aren't responsible!" is their attitude. Just follow the link.
