He told me that before he could do that I must give him a few minutes so he can run through the process. I said that would be OK.
After listening quietly to a sales pitch, not for a few minutes but for exactly 16 minutes I told him I needed to get back to work and could we schedule an estimate. He asked me NOT TO INTERUPT HIM! After another minute I asked again for an estimte and the phone line went dead. I called back and told him that we'd been disconnected but he told me that he's "hung up purposefully because it's "obvious that if you can't give me any time we'll could never get along!"
I was dumbstruck!!! I quietly gave him 17 minutes to do his sales talk and he hung up on me! Just totally rude and obnoxious. He expects potential customers to give him the courtesy of our time but he didn't have any respect for my time. The strangest phone call ever with a contractor. If he's this rude and obnoxious on the telephone how does he ever successfully satidfy his customers???
Go ahead and call him and see if he doesn't do the same thing to you if you interrupt him. Good riddence!

You should have called Senior's against crime at the Sheriff's Dept.
