Smallish telemarketer wank
Ah, customers_suck. The spooge flows from thee like a veritable fountain.

The thread starts as a tale of minor woe by [info]dimethirwen about some strange and angry responses from people she's made telemarketing calls to. There's a lot of friendly commiseration, and aside from one bitter and vindictive ex-telemarketer things are fine.

Then we get this rant by a guy called [info]markfinn. He tells the telemarketer what a horrible person she is, blasts her for daring to post in the comm, and winds up with: Get a real job, get some actual customers, and then you will have reason to whinge here. Telemarketting sucks ass, and anyone foul enough to do it for a living needs to seriously reconsider their life choices. [info]houstondragon feels this is kind of overkill.

Markfinn busts out with a precise mathematical formula for why telemarketers are scum. We also have a bit of a discussion about people being stupid about the Do Not Call registry. The OP defends herself by pointing out that actually the people she calls ARE her customers, and Markfinn blows her off. Dbaxdevlisfan and yukies1013 try to gently point out why telemarketers might not necessarily be the minions of Satan per se, and [info]nameistoad offers his brilliant solution to the telemarketing scourge.

Smallish, but with a satisfying amount of self-righteousness and the potential to grow.
