Jennifer: I'm afraid I've never listened long enough to gather that valuable info about the previous customer business. That explains the repeat callers. AAAARRRGGG! is right! Sarah: Yes, it's quite a challenge to feel sorry for them. And it's the same with me; my reaction depends on my mood, the time of day.... Sully: You're right about the personal level bit. Intelligent people around the globe have figured out ways to erase problems. I'm certain there's a way to "delete" a telemarketer. Imagine the thanks we'd get! Possibly even a Nobel Peace Prize!

Telemarketing is the spam of yesteryear, but since it's on such a personal level, it is exponentially more annoying. You can't just casually click "delete" on a telemarketer. Well I guess if you got some addresses and a rifle, you could, but it would be pretty far from "casual". http://yeahtotallyright.blogspot.com Agreed wholeheartedly.

I really hate telemarketers. I've tried being nice, I've tried being a bitch, but they keep on calling. I felt sorry for them for a short time, then realized they must have really thick skins to keep on telemarketing. Now they just take their chances when they call. Wow! I really hate telemarketers.

I rely on caller ID to tell me when not to answer the phone, but sometimes when they've called sixteen times a day for five days straight, I will pick up just to say "STOP CALLING THIS NUMBER OR I WILL REPORT YOU TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT." They love to tell you (if you will listen long enough) that if you are a previous customer of whatever bloodsucking entity they are calling for, the presence of your number on the Do-Not-Call Registry does not mean a thing. I hang up on them at that point. AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!

I was shocked to find that now they call on Sundays! I thought that day was sacred or something. Bah. Oh man, do I HATE telemarketers! I was shocked to find that now they call on Sundays!
