Earlier this afternoon, I received a phone call from an unfamiliar number, 03-7964xxxx. I thought, "Hmmm... number from PJ."
Me : Hello...
She : Hello, is this Ms. Angel?
Me : Yes, this is her...
She : Hi, I'm calling from True Fitness...
Me : *thinks, OH NO....* (Because.I.HATE.these.kind.of.unsolicited.calls!)
She : One of your friends recently joined our gym and gave your name/number so that we could send you a 7-days' free pass to the gym bla bla bla...
Me : Oh, it's okay, I am already a member of another gym bla bla bla... (trying to be nice to say NO, I NOT INTERESTED)
She : Oh, but you can still come bla bla bla...
Me : Oh, thanks but bla bla bla...
She : Hello, is this Ms. Angel?
Me : Yes, this is her...
She : Hi, I'm calling from True Fitness...
Me : *thinks, OH NO....* (Because.I.HATE.these.kind.of.unsolicited.calls!)
She : One of your friends recently joined our gym and gave your name/number so that we could send you a 7-days' free pass to the gym bla bla bla...
Me : Oh, it's okay, I am already a member of another gym bla bla bla... (trying to be nice to say NO, I NOT INTERESTED)
She : Oh, but you can still come bla bla bla...
Me : Oh, thanks but bla bla bla...
Anyway, the conversation was not my point. MY POINT is, I don't like my telephone number to be distributed prior to my knowledge. I know how these gyms work. They asked for your friends' or family members' number so that they could push "promote" their gym memberships. Same goes for some insurance agents and those MLM people. I kena this before. And I scolded my friend for giving out my number to his agent (whom I do not know at all).
To cut a long story short, please do not distribute my number without my consent. If someone asked me for your number, what I'd do is to get consent from you first before giving the number to the other person. Because I think it's only right that you should know who wants to contact you, no?
Now... who's the culprit?
*looks around...*
Who just joined True Fitness recently?
*looks around again..*

I just LEFT Fitness First, so it can't be me :P
But geram when people hand out my phone ... truly feel like giving them a bash, so I can understand your feelings now.
Dear moz,
Horrr... you left FF to join True Fitness??? Then must be you liao... :P
Dun bash me up... I nvr gib out your no. to anyone also...
It definitely can't be me. :p
I know! You're so nice to always ask me first if you can give so-and-so who asked, my number or address! But no worries from me. I don't get anyone asking me for numbers anyway, unless it's for Dai Mai Cai..
NOT ME NOT ME!!
:P Really!! It's not me!
I think I know who.
*looks around*
No lar, joking oni. Hehe.
definitely not me :P
i know how u feel. Geram huh when number being handed out to those dunno who person.
not a fan of this gym thingy so nope, not me :P
*fans angel to cool her down*
i oso don't like my numbers to be passed around. even how familiar that person may have appeared to be. actually i also don't like my email to be passed, though it is not confidential if anyone were to dig for it. i am a bad gal.
i understand how you feel.
Can't be me... I haven't joined no gym! Lawl.
*don't...
worry, bout a thing....*
i'm so sorry..I was the one who gave out your number ;)
waseh!
could be cocka.....he needs workout thats why ..:P
eh got one time when i joined FF also they asked me to fill in a form give them 10 numbers then only they will give me a FREE starter kit kononnya..so i reluctanly filled in and when i finished i asked him,: so actually even if i dun gv u 10 numbers u will still give me the free gifts right. he said yes. and i quickly go n change the number wihout him knowing..like number 6 - makt it 8, 1- make it 7. i dowan them to disturb ppl just becoz they wan sales. stoopid....!!
can i have ahboy's number?
This happened to me many many times already...
Calls from Fitness First and Celebrity Fitness.
But i found out who gave la.
it's not me also.. i dun even hv ur number.. ;P
aiyak! now only u tell me, I've given your no. to.....
Not me, not me! I don't have your number also... haha.
Yeah I do agree with you that it sucks to have your friends giving other people your number prior to your consent, even though it is another friend who asked for it.
For myself, if A asks me for B's number, I will ask B first. In any case I have to give A the number before B gives permission, I will inform B that I gave his/her number to A.
That's the way it works for me.
I reli hate it oso, one time dis fren he wan free time share offer, yunno lyk if you go and listen 2 hour presentation then get 3 day holiday free lidat wan, oso must gip your frens number so they can contact your frens oso, $#%$ he gip my number!!!
"If someone asked me for your number, what I'd do is to get consent from you first before giving the number to the other person. Because I think it's only right that you should know who wants to contact you, no?''....gua fully agree with you.
i shall not ask for your number...
it's wednesday and i see a lot of words!
Certainly not me! But hey, you could use this golden opportunity to check out the guys in the other gym! One week affaire. Think about it.
I only give you kisses, not your number to strangers. ;)

I dun believe in all these "free" stuff... but anyway, moral of the story for this kind of tales is... dun be greedy lor just because it's "free"... nothing is free! Hor?
