There are some delivery calls to let us know what time they are delivering the goods, especially for bigger items e.g. tables, chairs, sofa. Bigger items that you just cannot place outside your home for a long period. They may get stolen.
Although nobody does that (steal your things) anymore, it is still safer to let the buyer know when the delivery is.
I had bought stuff online as usual. And the humid weather has gotten worse in Singapore, so I bought a dehumidifier.
I expect the delivery man to call because the item is huge and not possible for him to leave it outside my apartment.
Then I got a call yesterday, seemingly urgent, because the caller called twice.
When it is an unknown number, we do not usually pick up calls, unless it is from a landline. But because the delivery man may call from his mobile, I picked up the call.
And then, shucks, some insurance agent called...
He explained that he was not calling me to ask me to buy a new policy. But the call was to ask me if I wish to upgrade from my current policy. I said I have my other policies, so I'm not interested. Annoyingly, he said, 'I know you have. Everybody has. But this is an upgrade.' I am just not spending any more money on policies. So I rejected, and he gave up.
What makes him think that just because it is an upgrade, I may get it? How many does he think the same way that he does? I just need basic insurance, and that is it! And even if I need an upgrade, I have my financial consultant to advise me.
Well, I know he is just trying to get some business from me. But no way that is happening, given his attitude.
Some irritating guy spoiled my mood that moment just when I thought my item was here.
Ah well. Some rant again.
