Telemarketers... :)


To all you telemarketers out there - LEAVE ME ALONE!!! Does anyone else get annoyed with them? I can't think of anyone who picks up the phone and says "Hey hon - the telemarketer is on the phone... can I get this one? I love when they call." NO!! Just so everyone knows - I'm not angry. I just laugh at them. I've found a way to have the upper hand with them. Let's see if anyone can top this one. When they start talking I just say "Can you hang on just one sec?" Then I put the phone down - end of story. Today I did that and went back after a minute to check and the guy was still sitting patiently for me to return. I checked a few more times and still - he was waiting nicely. I didn't say a word! After 5 minutes he hung up. How's that for the stupid companies. They just paid that guy for 5 minutes of sitting waiting for me to come back to the phone. Maybe they'll stop calling me now! Yea right. Well as long as they keep calling I'll just keep doing the same thing and I advise you do the same :).

Telemarketers are the spawn of pure evil. I dont get the calls as much as I used to, but my favorites are the ones selling something I have absolutley no use for and are very expensive. Like siding for a house. I'll start teasing them by saying I own a house that needs siding, or that I own a dozen houses.... pink ones.
