I got called from a cold caller related to a Costco compo I entered, fair enough, I’ve set myself up this.
But they call me on a Friday an hour before lunch (AKA everyone offloading responsibility before the weekend mode a bank holiday one at that :/ ) and when I explained this and suggested sending an email they just carried on as if it didn’t matter.
I don’t do well with cold callers. You’re already getting my manager tone, but to further disrespect my time rather than asking when would be a good time to call back or using something less invasive seems baffling to me if you want a sale.
Yeah, He got my manager mode which was so effective at shutting him down he sounded really defeated, and now I feel bad I’m debating sending him some Guylian chocolates a moon pig card or something
Meanwhile in America…

You’ve said that about your manager mode twice now. It must be really important for you that you are a manager or maybe have a manager mode. Yet you seem to struggle with basic communication and letting people know what you want and why.
“This is a bad time for me, can you give me a number that I can call back later?” If they don’t respect that, hang up and let them try again later
I wouldn’t even consider that rude on either side of the call really - just business
